How this leaderboard works

The rules behind the ranking — how a donation takes #1, and why some things you might expect (like an instant preview of your donation) are deliberately not there.

The boards

One confirmed donation ranks you on every board that includes it — the boards just look at different windows of time.

You must outbid the current top

To take rank #1, your donation has to be higher than the current top confirmed amount. This is the whole point of the leaderboard — every rank is earned by beating the person before you.

Minimum increment applies

A new donation must clear the current top by at least the minimum increment, enforced on the server when your order is created — not just shown in the UI.

Only confirmed payments count

An entry appears on the leaderboard only after Razorpay confirms the payment through a verified webhook. Pending or failed attempts are never shown, and there's no optimistic preview of a donation that hasn't gone through.

The board resets every cycle

The leaderboard runs in cycles of roughly three months. When a cycle ends, its ranking becomes a read-only "past champions" archive, and a new cycle starts from zero.

Fair play, baseline

Bid attempts are rate-limited per visitor, and display names are screened for obvious impersonation or profanity before an entry is accepted. Borderline cases are flagged for manual review rather than silently allowed through.

Right now

Funds go directly to a registered trust, not to this site.
