I built ranking.luxe - an open market for visibility
I’d love to get your honest feedback.
I’m building ranking.luxe, a platform where projects, companies and startups can compete for visibility in public rankings.
The concept is intentionally simple:
Anyone can support a project.
It could be:
• The founder supporting their own company
• An investor supporting a project they believe in
• A community supporting a protocol
• A friend helping a friend’s startup
• A family member supporting a new business
• Or simply someone who believes a project deserves more visibility
The interesting part is that the person making the payment doesn’t have to be the company itself.
There are:
❌ No accounts
❌ No registration
❌ No wallet connection
❌ No subscription
Payments are made externally in USDC on Base and verified on-chain using the transaction hash.
How does the ranking work?
Contributions are cumulative.
For example:
Project A receives:
500 USDC
1,000 USDC
2,500 USDC
Its cumulative ranking value becomes:
4,000 USDC
If another project reaches 5,000 USDC, it can move above it.
This means a project can potentially be supported by multiple different people, not just one buyer.
And the supporter doesn't have to publicly identify themselves.
The blockchain transaction remains verifiable, while the ranking can simply display:
Anonymous supporter.
Why did I build this?
I kept thinking about a simple question:
What if there was a public place where people could put their money behind the projects they believe deserve attention — without having to invest in them or own them?
Not necessarily funding.
Not necessarily ownership.
Just support + visibility.
That became the idea behind ranking.luxe.
We’re starting with categories around:
⛓️ Blockchains
💱 Exchanges
👛 Wallets
💰 Stablecoins
🏦 DeFi
🖼️ NFTs
🎮 Web3 Gaming
🤖 AI × Crypto
🏢 Crypto Companies
🚀 Startups & Venture Capital
And I’m considering expanding into other industries later.
Now I want your criticism.
This is still early.
I’m especially interested in hearing:
Does the concept make sense?
Would you use it?
Would you support a project this way?
What would make you trust the rankings?
Which categories should exist?
What would you change about the product?
And most importantly:
What am I missing?
I’m not looking for compliments.
I’d genuinely appreciate constructive criticism from the Product Hunt community.
If you find the concept interesting, try it and tell me what you think.
Thanks for reading — and thanks in advance for helping me make this better.
