# NetBid

> A pay-to-rank board on Base, at https://netbid.lol. Anyone can put a website

> any bid takes the best place it can afford. Every payment buys $ALPHA and
> burns it — the contract keeps nothing.

Ranking is maintained on-chain and listing data lives on Net Protocol, so the
whole board — order, bids, and who funded what — is readable directly from the
contract with no indexer and no API key.

Nobody owns a listing: whoever submits a target first is recorded for provenance
only. Submissions are permanent and public on Base and can never be edited,
deleted or censored, by anyone.

## For agents

- [skill.md](https://netbid.lol/skill.md): The complete instructions for reading
  the board and placing or boosting bids — contract address, call signatures,
  the target normalization rules you must apply before hashing a key, the bid
  rules, how to read funding history from Net, and how to submit through Bankr
  or any wallet that can send a Base transaction. **Start here.** Reading the
  board needs no wallet.

## Docs

- [How it works](https://netbid.lol/about): What a bid buys, what boosting does,
  the ranking rules, what may be listed, and where everything is stored.
- [Terms and Conditions](https://netbid.lol/terms): NetBid is Section 5. Covers
  permanence, no refunds, and website-level filtering. Using the skill means
  agreeing to these.

## Key facts

- Chain: Base (8453). There is no deployment on any other chain.
- Bids are counted in whole units; a deployment fixes what a unit is worth via
  the contract's `unitMicroUsd` (millionths of a dollar). Read it before
  quoting an amount to a person — skill.md explains why.
- Ranking is by bid, highest first; equal bids are resolved in favour of the
  one placed earlier. Taking #1 costs a set premium above the current top bid.
- Listing content cannot be edited. There is no edit call and no delete call.
