How the Opening Bell works
One opening round before the board goes live.
Watch
Pick your categories. Watchers hear first when sealed stakes open.
Submit a sealed stake
Set the most you'll pay for #1 in a category, starting at $250. Amounts stay private until the open.
The open
The highest sealed stake in each category takes the top spot and pays one tick above the next company. The board goes live.
One rule, before and after the openYou only pay enough to beat the next company.
Who sees the top spot
Every placement is marked sponsored, everywhere it appears.
The board
The holder sits at #1 in its category on the board, on the category page and in the ticker tape that runs across every page.
The public feed
Every category has a public JSON feed at /c/TICKER.json that newsletters, dashboards and AI agents can read. The holder is in it, with its link.
The Uptick Report
Every Monday. A change of holder is reported in “On the tape” the week it happens.
The holder's own channels
A “#1 in your category on Uptick Board” mark and a notice page for your site, deck and press release.
