Important distinction
Backing a listing does not mean buying it.
A payment on The Internet Index is for the Index’s backing and visibility mechanic. It does not purchase the product, company, asset, or service represented by the listing.
The short version
You are not buying Bitcoin, Ethereum, Figma, or any other listed product.
You are backing a listing on this Index. Your payment can move its live board position and visibility, but it gives you no ownership, investment, license, access, or claim in the thing being listed.
Examples
What that means in practice
Bitcoin · Ethereum
Not a crypto purchase
Backing a Bitcoin, Ethereum, or other crypto listing does not buy BTC, ETH, tokens, a wallet balance, an on-chain asset, or any claim on a network.
Figma · software
Not a software purchase
Backing Figma or another software product does not buy a subscription, seat, license, account, product access, or any ownership interest in the company.
Every listed site
Not ownership of the site
Backing any listing does not buy its company, stock, equity, domain, brand, intellectual property, products, services, or revenue.
Your payment does
- Increase the listing’s backing on The Internet Index.
- Change its relative share, rank, and tile size on the selected board.
- Help make the listing visible to people browsing the Index.
Your payment does not
- Transfer ownership, equity, securities, tokens, or other assets to you.
- Create a partnership, endorsement, license, subscription, or relationship with the listed company.
- Guarantee a return, a sale, traffic, access, availability, or any future outcome.
