Prerequisites

Before you start rolling, you'll need a few things set up.

---

What You Need

1. A Solana Wallet

Boulder Roller runs on Solana. You'll need a wallet to:

• Receive your verified patterns

• Earn and hold DUNG tokens

• Stake CAL (if you have it)

Recommended wallets:

Wallet	Platform	Notes
Phantom	Browser, iOS, Android	Most popular, great UX
Solflare	Browser, iOS, Android	Feature-rich, hardware wallet support
Backpack	Browser, iOS, Android	Modern, xNFT support

If you're new to Solana, Phantom is the easiest starting point.

2. A Small Amount of SOL

Solana transactions require tiny fees (fractions of a cent). You'll need a small amount of SOL in your wallet for:

• Submitting proofs of effort

• Claiming rewards

• Staking operations

How much? 0.1 SOL is more than enough for hundreds of transactions.

Where to get SOL:

• Transfer from an exchange (Coinbase, Kraken, etc.)

• Use a fiat on-ramp in your wallet

• Ask a friend to send you some

3. Ride Data

You need cycling activity data to upload. Boulder Roller accepts:

Source	Method
Strava	OAuth sync (automatic)
Garmin Connect	OAuth sync (automatic)
FIT files	Direct upload
GPX files	Direct upload

Minimum requirements:

• GPS track with timestamps

• At least one qualifying effort (climb, sustained power, etc.)

Optional but helpful:

• Power meter data (enables power patterns)

• Heart rate data (future features)
