The block is heating up. Three days left and the prize pool is still in play.
The dust hasn't settled yet in Iron Row. With the weekly reset 3 days, 15 hours away, the leaderboard is shifting and the gap between glory and the bubble is razor thin. Here's the full picture.
🏆 THIS WEEK'S STANDINGS
From 4 May 2025 — Points reset Monday 00:00 UTC
🥇 @jwjqu.wam — 697 pts | 15,000 HIVE
Running away with the top spot. 697 points puts them well clear of the pack — a commanding lead built on ops, crew upgrades, and quest completions. If this holds, that's a 15,000 HIVE payday.
🥈 @desertjoe — 604 pts | 10,000 HIVE
Consistent pressure from desertjoe who's been grinding hard all week. 93 points off first place — not insurmountable, but jwjqu.wam won't be sitting still either.
🥉 @ianballantine — 536 pts | 7,500 HIVE
Last season's champion is back in the top 3. ianballantine knows how to close out a week — won't be surprised if they make a push for second before the reset.
#4 @speedtuning — 520 pts | 5,000 HIVE
Just 16 points off the podium. Speedtuning has been one of the most active players on the board and isn't going quietly. A strong final push could crack the top 3.
#5 @jof2000 — 493 pts | 5,000 HIVE
Holding firm in fifth. Both #4 and #5 share the 5,000 HIVE tier — but the ego gap between 4th and 5th is real.
#6 @herman-german — 332 pts | Est. 1,500 HIVE
#7 @shadecroat — 331 pts | Est. 1,500 HIVE
One point. One single point separates sixth from seventh. Herman-german and bhadecroat are in a dead heat that could flip multiple times before the week closes. This is the most entertaining duel on the board right now.
#8 @affliction — 253 pts | 1,500 HIVE [That's me 😅]
#9 @maldin — 214 pts | 1,500 HIVE
#10 @beaker007 — 165 pts | 1,500 HIVE
The bottom of the prize pool is wide open. Beaker007 sits on the bubble at 165 points — and worldhelper is right behind at 148, watching and waiting. Any slip from #10 and the cut shifts.
🔥 BUBBLE WATCH — OUTSIDE LOOKING IN
These players are close enough to matter:
@worldhelper — 148 pts (17 off the cut)
@acidyo — 71 pts
@matthew1 — 61 pts
🎮 HOW THE LEADERBOARD WORKS
Every action in Syndicate Protocol earns points:
⚡ Run operations — the primary engine of point accumulation
👥 Recruit crew — each new operative adds to your score
⬆️ Upgrade crew — invest in your roster, earn points doing it
📋 Complete quests — structured objectives with point rewards
🛒 Market activity — buying on the marketplace counts too
Points accumulate across the week and reset every Monday at 00:00 UTC. The top 10 players split a HIVE prize pool — the higher your rank, the larger your cut.
There is a detailed article regarding this if you are interested.
⏳ THREE DAYS LEFT
The top 3 look solid, but nothing is locked. The #6/#7 battle is must-watch, and the bubble at #10 is genuinely contested. If you're outside the cut — now is the time to push.
