How this list is ranked
This is the scale leaderboard: projects ordered by total dollars pledged to date, regardless of how fast they got there. A campaign that quietly climbed to $2M over 40 days outranks one that jumped $40K overnight — even if today the big one was flat. The “projected” figure extrapolates each campaign’s current pace along the typical Kickstarter funding curve, and only shows once a project has enough history for the estimate to mean something.
