Feature Your Collection (Bidding)

Boost visibility across Panthart by winning the Featured Collection slot.
Creators place bids to secure the next 28-day feature window. Highest bid at cycle end wins, and a new cycle starts immediately.

How it works (overview)

Cycle length: 28 days per feature window.
Eligibility: you must be the owner of the collection (the connected wallet must own/deploy it).
Bidding: start at the minimum bid; each new bid must be strictly higher than the current highest.
Top-ups: you may add to your existing bid at any time to take the lead.
Winner selection: when a cycle ends, the highest bidder is automatically featured across Panthart.
Auto-rollover: a new 28-day cycle opens immediately after a winner is locked.
No-bid fallback: if a cycle ends with no bids, the Non-Fungible Comrades collection is featured by default.

🧭

“Feature” placement includes prominent spots across marketplace surfaces (home, explore, search highlights—and other curated rails as available). Exact placements may evolve, but the winner remains consistently highlighted for the entire 28-day period.

Pre-flight checklist

✅ Connected wallet matches the collection owner.
✅ Collection is submitted (select from your owned collections).
✅ You can meet or exceed the minimum bid for the current cycle.
✅ You understand the cycle end time and that a higher bid may overtake you before the deadline.

⚠️

Each new bid must be greater than the standing highest bid. If you’re outbid, your bid remains recorded for the cycle unless you top up again.

Step-by-step

1) Connect & verify ownership

Connect your wallet. Pick a collection you own. The UI validates ownership before enabling bidding.

2) Submit collection & place the first bid

Enter the minimum bid or more to become the current leader. Confirm the transaction in your wallet.

3) Track the leaderboard

Watch the live leaderboard. If someone outbids you, use Top up to add funds and reclaim the lead.

4) Cycle ends → winner is featured

At the 28-day cut-off, the highest bidder is locked in and automatically featured across Panthart for the next 28 days.

5) New cycle starts immediately

As soon as a cycle closes, a fresh 28-day cycle opens for the next featured slot. You can bid again at any time.

Leaderboard & timing

Live status: The bidding card shows the current highest bid, leader collection, and a countdown to cycle end.
Timestamps: All times are shown in your local timezone for clarity.
Instant updates: The board updates in real-time when bids are confirmed on-chain.

Rules & edge cases

Higher-only bids: Each incoming bid must be strictly higher than the current leader.
Top-up logic: Top-ups increase your existing bid; your new total must exceed the leader to take the top spot.
No bids this cycle: If the countdown hits zero with no bids, Non-Fungible Comrades is featured for that cycle.
Auto-start next cycle: The new bidding window opens immediately after the winner is finalized.
Ownership check: You can’t bid for a collection you don’t own with the connected wallet.

Example timeline

Day 0 — Cycle opens. Minimum bid is displayed.
Day 5 — You bid and take the lead.
Day 10 — Another creator outbids you.
Day 12 — You top up to retake the lead.
Day 28 — Countdown ends. You’re still the leader → your collection is featured for the next 28 days. New cycle opens immediately.

Frequently asked

Do I need to re-submit my collection each cycle?
If you plan to bid again, yes—submit (or pick) your collection and place a bid in the new cycle.

What if two bids arrive at the same amount?
The UI enforces strictly higher amounts; ties aren’t allowed.

What happens if I’m outbid near the deadline?
You can top up anytime before the countdown ends. The last highest bid at the deadline wins.

What if I connect the wrong wallet?
You won’t pass ownership validation and won’t be able to bid for that collection.
