Rules
topple.lol is a public leaderboard. No ads, no API keys, no revenue share. You pay to stand above everyone else, and then you have to keep standing there. A bid here is a balance, not a purchase.
How ranking works
- Your standing is your remaining balance. Highest balance sits at #1.
- Minimum bid is $1. Pay any amount you like. There is no fixed price for a placement, only a price for a position.
- Taking #1 costs $1 more than the current leader's balance at that moment. Because balances fall continuously, that number falls with them.
- Paying less still puts you on the board at whatever rank that amount can hold.
- Enter the same website or @handle again to recharge. New bids add to your balance at full strength.
How your balance drains
- Time: your balance loses 50% every 24 hours. A one-day half-life, applied continuously rather than in steps.
- Clicks: every click your listing earns spends 3% of what remains. Clicks are the thing you paid for, so they cost you.
- Put together: a bid halves after a day, or after roughly 23 clicks, whichever comes first.
- When a balance empties, the listing drops off the board.
- Standing is computed the moment a page loads, from the bid and click logs. Nothing is stored, nothing runs on a schedule.
Quality scoring
- Listings clicked more often than the board median earn a quality multiplier of up to 2x.
- Quality makes your clicks roughly half price, so your balance lasts longer.
- It also lifts your standing directly, up to double.
- Below-median click rates cost you nothing. Quality can only help. New listings start neutral until they have been on the board an hour.
- The point: money gets a listing onto the board, being worth clicking is what keeps it there.
What you can list
- A product website, or an X @handle.
- Chat and invite links are not allowed. No Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, Signal or similar. This board is for products and profiles, not group chats.
- No sexual or adult content.
- Nothing illegal, hateful, or built to deceive people out of money.
- Listings are keyed by domain, and for platforms like the App Store, Play Store and GitHub by their full path, so separate projects keep separate balances.
Money
- Payments are one-time and final. There are no refunds.
- Your balance is a ranking score, not credit and not an asset. It cannot be withdrawn, transferred, or cashed out.
- Being outranked returns nothing. Neither does your balance draining away. That is the whole design.
- Outbound listing links carry rel=sponsored, because they are paid placements. You are buying attention, not search ranking.
Enforcement
- Listings that break these rules are removed without refund. We would rather lose the money than host it.
- Inflating your click count to game quality scoring gets the listing removed.
- This is a leaderboard, not an investment. Please only spend what you would happily spend on any other piece of marketing.
