1. Bid and rank
- A sponsored listing starts at $1 USD. A community listing is free.
- Apps and X creators have separate boards. Each ranks settled totals, highest first.
- The suggested next #1 total is the leader plus the greater of $1 or 5%, rounded to a whole dollar.
- Lower bids may enter at any rank their total earns.
- Existing listings raise by at least $1 and pay only the difference.
- The 7-day view shows recently settled money; it does not replace all-time rank.
2. Community votes
- Community rank is separate from sponsored rank and resets every Monday at 00:00 UTC.
- Each signed browser receives three votes per board each week and may use only one per listing.
- A vote can be removed and reassigned before the weekly reset.
- Votes cannot be purchased and bids never increase community rank.
- Browser-based limits reduce casual abuse but do not prove one unique human. Suspicious votes may be invalidated.
- Bots, bought votes, coordinated vote exchanges, impersonation, and attempts to evade limits are prohibited.
3. The scarce spot
- There is one #1 position per board. The all-time leader in that board holds it.
- The auction is always open. There is no fixed close or permanent winner.
- A higher settled total can take #1 at any time.
- Being outbid moves the listing down; it does not remove it from the board.
4. Payment
- Every settled bid is charged. This is not a winner-only auction.
- A rank changes only after Stripe confirms a completed payment and Nittro has the required public listing details.
- For a new paid destination, Stripe Checkout comes first. The listing stays private until the payer completes the public profile after payment.
- A paid increase for an existing sponsored listing may reuse its current public profile and settle without asking for those details again.
- Opening checkout does not reserve #1 or any other rank.
- The Stripe screen shows the exact one-time charge. There is no subscription.
- Completed payments are final except where law requires otherwise or Nittro fails to publish the listing.
- Being outbid does not create a refund right.
- Fraud, reversal, chargeback, or a rule violation may void rank.
5. Listings
Community nominations must accurately identify a public destination. Paid bidders must be authorized to promote it.
- No malware, phishing, creator impersonation, hidden destinations, or deceptive downloads.
- No illegal services, explicit sexual content, hate, or targeted harassment.
- Free nominations are unverified and do not establish listing ownership.
- A paid checkout records promoter control for Nittro placement; it does not verify ownership of the app, domain, or X account.
- No fabricated identity, revenue, verification, or testimonial claims.
- Nittro may edit or remove a violating listing. Paid rank is not an endorsement.
6. Direct sponsor slots
- Sidebar sponsor slots are separate from app and creator bids and never change either ranking.
- Clicking an open slot starts an email inquiry; it does not reserve the position or create a charge.
- Availability, duration, creative, and start date are confirmed in writing before a Stripe invoice is issued.
- A direct sponsor slot becomes active only after payment settles and the submitted creative is approved.
7. Measurement
- A click is counted when a visitor follows a listing through Nittro's redirect.
- Unique clicks are approximate and use a one-way hash of request signals.
- Creator clicks measure visits to an X profile, not completed follows.
- Click counts may be corrected when invalid traffic is found.
- Nittro guarantees no impressions, clicks, time at rank, followers, signups, sales, or revenue.
