How BidTheName Works

The pay-to-rank leaderboard where names are earned and defended.

🎯 The Concept

Leaderboards on the internet usually freeze once someone pays for the top spot. BidTheName is different. Anyone — a student, creator, founder, developer, or gamer — can place a bid to claim a rank. But to stay on the throne, you have to defend it.

⏳ The Throne Decay™ Formula

Every profile holds two distinct values:

1. Lifetime Contributed

The permanent sum of every dollar you ever paid. Never decreases. This is your permanent prestige badge.

2. Rank Power (USD)

The number used to sort the leaderboard. Goes up when you bid, and quietly drifts down if you are inactive.

rank_power_new = max(

total_contributed × 40% (floor),

rank_power × (1 − 1%) ^ days_inactive

)

⚔️ How to Overtake & Defend

Want to take a higher rank? The exact cost to overtake is calculated as:

amount_to_overtake = max($2.00, (target_rank_power − your_rank_power) + $1.00)

When you outbid someone, they receive an immediate notification that they have been dethroned, creating a live, competitive arena!

🌎 Global USD Standard & Instant Checkout

All leaderboard bids and rank power are denominated in US Dollars ($ USD). Bids start at just $1.00 USD, processed securely and instantly via Stripe (supporting all major credit/debit cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay).
