How it works

Open categories start at $1. Pay the shown price to fight for a taken one; if a fight is live, you take the next visible slot. Half cash, half free votes. Winner keeps the category. No ads, no accounts. Your website or @handle is the key.

    Final score

    Half product money, half visitor votes. Winner owns the category.

Owning a category

  • An empty category is $1. Pay it and you own it. Every click on that tile goes to you.
  • A taken category shows one price and the outcome before checkout: fight immediately when it is quiet, or enter the visible next-fight line when one is already live.
  • The next minimum follows a simple $1 → $2 → $5 → $10 → $20 → $50 ladder. It is based on real cash committed by both sides in recent fights, not one person bidding against themselves.
  • After each quiet 24 hours, the minimum drops one ladder step. The exact price and result are shown before checkout and locked during checkout.
  • The fight is scored half on money behind each product, half on free votes from the crowd.
  • Winner keeps the category. If a fight is already on, you wait in line and fight next.
  • A rumble is a queued fight: challengers move through visible 30-minute rounds instead of disappearing into a hidden auction.
  • A close fight can go to overtime. In the last 10 minutes votes count double; sudden death freezes money and lets votes decide.
  • Add money anytime with the same link. It helps in a fight. It does not skip the fight.
  • Total revenue is the lifetime sum of verified live payments applied to the board. It may lag by a few seconds.

If you don’t have a product

  • Vote. Free. Choose one product; your vote changes the fight result.
  • Share. Post to X, return, and claim +25 points; supporters add +5. Owners also inject +3 votes into their live fight; every third share jumps one queue spot.
  • One free vote per visitor, remembered on this browser and confirmed by the server. Post your pick on X, return to HYPED, and tap “I posted” to claim +25 points; up to 10 distinct supporters can add +5 points each and one vote to the shared side. Same-network activity is capped so a script cannot flood a side.
  • When an owner shares their side and claims it, that share injects +3 free votes into their live duel. Every third claimed share in 24 hours moves that product one position up the waiting challenger queue.

Points

  • Everyone starts with 100 game points. They are not money.
  • They only work in a live fight: back a side, winners take a share of the losers’ points.
  • Share a fight on X, come back, and claim extra points. The composer alone does not award them.
  • Points never buy a category and never cash out.

What you can list

  • A product, app, or website you are allowed to promote, plus optional X, Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube handles.
  • One listing per product. Duplicates get removed.
  • No chat or invite links - Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, Signal and similar.
  • No porn, NSFW, scams, malware, or anything illegal.
  • No affiliate, referral, or tracking links, and no link shorteners.

Coming back

  • There is no sign-up. Your product URL or @handle is the key.
  • Adding a product that is already on the board raises that listing instead of making a duplicate.
  • Post your product card: 10% off your next paid move, stacking up to 30% for 24 hours.
