Question 1

What is ValidateFast.dev?

Accepted Answer

ValidateFast.dev is a tournament-style marketplace where creators launch app ideas and products into daily 24-hour UTC leaderboard sprints to gather real intent signals, votes, and waitlist signups.

Question 2

How does the 24-hour sprint leaderboard work?

Accepted Answer

Every daily tournament starts simultaneously at 00:00 UTC. Projects compete for 24 hours on a live leaderboard driven by community votes, click-throughs, and signups. When the timer hits zero, sprint results lock in.

Question 3

Can I validate an idea before writing any code?

Accepted Answer

Yes! You can launch unbuilt concepts with a landing page or waitlist link to test demand, or launch live apps to drive immediate user acquisition and traffic.

Question 4

If I submit today, does my 24-hour sprint start immediately?

Accepted Answer

No. To ensure every project gets a fair, full 24-hour window, all projects launch together at the next 00:00 UTC reset. If you lock in your idea today, your validation sprint runs tomorrow.

Question 5

What is the difference between the Standard Queue and Fast-Track?

Accepted Answer

Standard Queue (Free): Your project enters a 7-day rolling queue and launches automatically in an upcoming daily sprint. Fast-Track ($15): Guarantees your project launches in the very next 00:00 UTC sprint window without waiting in line.

Question 6

What is the 14-Day Genesis Launch Event?

Accepted Answer

During our introductory 14-day Genesis window, all approved submissions receive free Fast-Track inclusion for the next available sprint and earn an exclusive, permanent Genesis Creator badge on their project profile.

Question 7

What assets do I need to prepare my submission?

Accepted Answer

You need a project title, a short one-line pitch, a thumbnail/logo, a primary destination link (waitlist, landing page, or live product), and your optional Twitter/X handle.

Question 8

How is voting kept fair and anti-spam?

Accepted Answer

We enforce strict account verification, IP rate-limiting, and fraud monitoring to prevent botting or artificial upvote manipulation. Every idea gets an equal playing field.

Question 9

What is the Hall of Fame?

Accepted Answer

The top-performing projects from daily, weekly, and monthly sprints are permanently archived in the Hall of Fame, giving winning makers continuous traffic and long-term exposure.
