RULES

What is this?

SideWars is a versus board. Two sides. One question. A ticking clock.

You back a side with a payment of $1 to $500. Money is the vote. The side with the most money behind it when the clock hits zero wins the war.

Money is the vote

Votes are payments of support. All payments are final. No refunds. No prizes, no payouts, no winnings — this is not gambling or a lottery.

The site keeps all payments. Nobody ever wins money back. You are buying bragging rights, nothing else.

Settlement

When a war's clock runs out, the side with the higher paid total wins. An exact tie is declared a draw — both sides are shown in the Hall of Wars.

Only completed payments count toward totals. Unpaid or failed checkouts never appear anywhere.

Anti-snipe

If a payment lands in the final 10 minutes of a live war, the clock extends by 10 minutes. Late money keeps fights alive — lead changes at the buzzer are a feature, not a bug.

The Arena

Anyone can throw their project into the Arena at /submit. Entry costs as little as $1 — that's also your spam filter and your ticket.

You pick one of six category boards (AI & Agents, Dev Tools, Consumer Apps, Creator & Content, E-commerce, Web3) and your project is dropped onto that board, ranked by money behind it.

The moment another unpaired project sits in your category, the system forges a war: 24 hours on the clock, anti-snipe rules apply, may the better stack win.

One entry per project. Listing is not endorsement.
