PaidRank

A public board of 25 slots. Buy one, hold it as long as you like, lose it whenever someone pays the published buyout price.

Rank reflects what the holder paid. It is not an evaluation, a review, or a ranking of quality. Slots are not restricted to any category — anyone can hold any slot.

Not open yet. The board opens for a 10-day launch phase. It goes live only if 10 slots sell in that window — if fewer sell, every payment is refunded in full and the board never opens.

Launch-phase seed prices, published in advance. Once live, every slot carries a buyout price set by formula: max(last paid × 1.2, last paid + $5)

$19 → $24 → $29 → $34 → $39 → $44 → $49 → $59 → $71 → $85 → $102 …

How it works

$100$110$120 floor $104 — what the holder paid, plus $5 decay starts 0123456789 days without a challenger
Quiet decay on a $99 slot. The buyout price holds for three days, then falls 5% a day until it reaches what the holder paid plus $5, and stops. The holder never loses money — only the premium protecting the slot erodes, so an uncontested board always becomes contestable again.

Losing a slot doesn’t compound against you

Most boards like this get more expensive every time you lose. This one doesn’t — when your slot is taken you get 25% of what you paid back as credit.

you paid $99.00 someone takes it $118.80 (99 × 1.2) credit to you −$24.75 (25% of 99) ─────── taking it back $94.05 = 0.95× what you paid

At the $19 floor it works out to 1.01×. Roughly flat at every price level, never escalating. Every figure is checkable in the public ledger.

$100$150$200$250 012345 times you have lost the slot and taken it back no credit — $246 PaidRank — $77
The same slot, lost and reclaimed six times. Without credit, each round trip costs 1.2× the last and the price runs away from you. With 25% credit returned, it settles at 0.95× — slightly cheaper each time.
