About
DETHRONE is a live attention market. One X account owns the #1 spot. Anyone can pay the current price and take the attention from whoever holds it.
The idea
X is already a war for attention. DETHRONE turns that war into a simple, measurable market with exactly one winning position.
Advertising asks people to look at you. DETHRONE gives people a reason to look at you: you publicly took the #1 spot from someone else. That event creates curiosity, profile clicks, a loser with revenge credit, and a story both accounts are now part of. Attention compounds through conflict.
How it works
- See who currently owns #1 and what it costs to remove them.
- Pay the current dethrone price. Your X identity takes the spot instantly and publicly.
- Every profile link on the site now routes to your X profile — and every visit is counted.
- The takeover is announced. The previous ruler banks 20% revenge credit and a reason to return.
- Your dethrone price holds for 2 hours, then falls 2% per hour. Eventually, someone comes for you.
What makes it honest
Every number on this site is real and first-party. Profile visits are measured by us, on our own outbound links, deduplicated and bot-filtered. Every reign, price, and takeover is permanent public record. There are no simulated players, no fake urgency, and no hidden mechanics — the entire price formula is published in the rules.
The product question we optimize for: how much real X attention did your reign generate, and what did it cost per visitor?
Why the price falls
Most auction products only ratchet up until nobody plays. Here, every hour you survive makes you a cheaper target. Long reigns become bargains, cheap-shot dethronements become content, and the market never freezes. You are never safe at #1 — that's the point of the game and the source of the attention.
Status
DETHRONE is in its prototype season. Payments are currently simulated while the market mechanics run live; Sign in with X and real payments are next. The record started now is the record that stands.
