Your First Roll

You've set up your wallet and connected your activity source. Let's roll.

Step 1: Upload or Sync a Ride

If you connected Strava/Garmin:

Your recent rides should appear automatically in the app. Look for the "Rides" or "Activities" section.

If uploading manually:

  1. Click Upload Ride

  2. Select your FIT or GPX file

  3. Wait for processing

Step 2: Watch Pattern Detection

Once your ride is uploaded, the pattern engine analyzes it. This usually takes a few seconds.

You'll see:

Step 3: Review Detected Patterns

After analysis, you'll see which patterns were detected:

Each detected pattern shows:

  • Name (if known) or coordinates (if new)

  • Difficulty score (1-10)

  • Elevation gain and distance

  • Your time for this effort

  • Estimated DUNG reward

Step 4: Submit Your Proofs

Click Roll on each pattern you want to verify.

Your wallet will prompt you to sign a transaction. This:

  • Submits your proof of effort to Solana

  • Creates an on-chain record of your roll

  • Triggers reward calculation

Transaction cost: Typically < $0.01 in SOL

Step 5: Receive Your DUNG

After the transaction confirms (usually 1-2 seconds on Solana), you'll see:

The DUNG is now in your wallet.

What If No Patterns Were Detected?

A few possibilities:

Your ride was flat. Climb patterns require elevation gain. If you rode on flat terrain, no climb patterns will be detected. Power patterns (coming soon) will help here.

The climb was too short. We have minimum thresholds to filter out noise. Very short or gentle inclines may not qualify.

GPS data was poor. If your GPS track has gaps or inaccuracies, pattern detection may fail. Try uploading from a different source or checking your device settings.

Discovering New Patterns

If you climb a hill that isn't already registered, you might discover a new pattern.

As the first roller:

  • You can suggest a name for the pattern

  • You receive a bonus reward

  • You're permanently recorded as the discoverer

Tips for Better Rewards

  1. Climb harder hills — Difficulty correlates with rewards

  2. Look for staked patterns — More CAL staked = higher multiplier

  3. Explore new areas — First rolls have bonuses

  4. Ride consistently — More patterns = more DUNG

What's Next?

Keep rolling.
