Rules & Auction Mechanics
No algorithms, no sponsorships, no hidden curation. Pure sort by current bid descending.
The Exact Auction Specification
| New / Empty Spot Minimum | $5 |
| Minimum Raise to Outbid | Target Spot Bid + $1 |
| Refunds | None. Strictly non-refundable ad spend. |
| Listing Lifetime | Permanent until someone outbids you — no countdown timers or expiring subscriptions. |
| Rank Determination | Sorted purely by total cumulative bid amount, descending in real-time. |
| Race Conditions | Payments are never discarded. On webhook confirmation, the bid is processed and the listing is placed at the exact rank its amount qualifies for at that instant. |
| Account Requirement | Zero passwords. You receive a secret Magic Edit Link at checkout to update your project's link or blurb anytime. |
What happens when I get outbid?
You drop down one spot on the leaderboard. Your listing remains permanently visible on the board until you decide to raise your bid and reclaim your throne.
Can I edit my project URL or pitch?
Yes! After completing your checkout, you receive a secret edit link via email and on the confirmation screen. You can change your website link or blurb whenever you want.
Why are bids non-refundable?
MoonBid sells instant promotional advertising exposure. Just like paid billboards or sponsored tweets, the visibility benefit is delivered immediately upon placement.
Are scam or malicious coins allowed?
No. We maintain an active 24/7 admin moderation kill-switch. Listings containing malware, phishing, doxxing, or illegal content will be banned immediately without refunds.
