### What are Community Top Bids? | ||
|
||
Community Top Bids are a public space on the LBRY application, where anyone can share content with the rest of the LBRY community based on the bidding process. Users can place bids in LBRY credits (LBC) on the names ranging from "one" to "ten" and put their content on the front page of the LBRY application. The names correspondent with the position of the content, placing it on positions 1 to 10 in the content bar. | ||
This mechanism enables users to promote their content and it is based on the LBRY naming system. The LBC are not lost, but just used as a deposit for the name claim. | ||
Community Top Bids is a public space on the LBRY application that allows for community controlled content. | ||

### How to bid on the Community Top Bids positions? | ||
Anyone can share their content with the rest of the LBRY community by issuing a winning claim for one of these URLs. This mechanism enables users to promote their content and via the LBRY naming system. | ||
|
||
1. Click the "PUBLISH" button. | ||
2. In the options menu go to "Content URL" and enter the desired claim you want to bid on (lbry://one, lbry://two, lbry://three, ... , lbry://ten) | ||
3. After you have entered the desired number, the system will automatically show you the minimum amount of LBC you need to deposit to get the claim. This LBC remains yours and the deposit can be undone at any time. | ||
Note that when claiming one of these URLs, no LBC is ever lost or destroyed (absent a very small transaction fee). | ||
