BrokerRace is a public leaderboard where crypto exchanges, brokers, and prop firms pay to rank #1. No algorithm, no sponsored tiers - the highest bidder is #1, and anyone can outbid them at any time. Right now, dethroning the #1 spot costs just $1. The board already has real listings live: MEXC, Bitget, Bybit, and Kraken. Built solo with Next.js, Postgres, and Stripe.
Hey Product Hunt! Founder here.
I noticed most "top broker" and "best exchange" lists online are really just ads dressed up as rankings — paid placements with no transparency about who paid what. So I built BrokerRace: a leaderboard where the ranking IS the ad, and everyone knows it. Companies bid to hold a position, and anyone can outbid them at any time. No hidden sponsorship, no algorithm deciding who's "best."
It's live right now with real listings (MEXC, Bitget, Bybit, Kraken) and real bids on the board. Built solo over the last few days with Next.js, Postgres, and Stripe.
Would love feedback, especially on whether this pay-to-rank model feels fair or if it should evolve into something else.
