Only fans can boost. Brands, agencies, and employees of listed brands may not purchase boosts for their own products. If we detect it, the boost is removed and donated.
Boosts are $5 / $10 / $20, one-time, via Polar (merchant of record). They buy a permanent place on the wall and points for your shoe. Nothing else. No physical goods.
Boosts are final. This is a scoreboard, not a store. Genuine payment errors: email within 48h and we'll fix it.
Wall messages are human-moderated. No links, no abuse, no spam. Rejected messages keep their points.
Emails: optional, used for overtake/season alerts and book-opening notices only, never shown publicly.
Season 1 ends Mon, 05 Oct 2026. The leader is crowned in the Hall of Fame, permanently.
Kill-gate honesty: if this season ends under $100 of boosts and under 2,000 visitors, this experiment retires publicly. We keep receipts either way.
