FAQ

Access

How is access granted? By invitation. You enter an invite code when you create your account; without one, Request invite adds your email address to the waitlist.

Is a wallet required? No. Email, Google, and Apple sign-in create one for you. You can connect a Solana wallet instead.

Do I need to understand CAL, DUNG, or vaults to start? No. Rides, results, and leaderboards work without them.

Does Boulder Roller connect to Strava? No. Upload the ride file to Boulder Roller directly. The same file can be uploaded to both.

Rides

Why did my ride match no climbs? Most rides do not cross a defined climb start to finish. Poor GPS or elevation data and non-cycling activity types also prevent matching.

Why did my ride count no CAL? No power meter, or not enough power data (CAL). CAL is also held until your Threshold is established, then released (Held rides). A ride completed more than 30 days before upload counts no CAL.

Why did a held ride lapse? A held ride waits up to 16 weeks from the day it was confirmed for your Threshold to be established. If your Threshold takes effect inside that window, the ride is released and counted. If it does not, the ride lapses and is never counted. Only a qualifying recorded ride establishes Threshold (Held rides).

Can I add a climb? Not from a ride. Climbs are compiled and reviewed. Riding an undefined hill nominates it; repeated nominations place it under review. Any rider can create the vault for a reviewed climb that has none, and becomes its founder.

Why do CAL and training metrics differ? CAL uses your current Threshold. Once a raise is scheduled for Monday, training stress, Fitness, Fatigue, and Form use the scheduled value and show as pending until then. CAL does not use the scheduled value until that Monday.

DUNG

When is DUNG paid? Weekly, within a day of the settlement boundary (Settlement weeks).

Do I have to collect leaderboard DUNG? No. Leaderboard and Local Legend DUNG is paid at settlement. Only DUNG earned by a deposit requires Collect.

What are the fees? A fee on collecting DUNG earned by a deposit, and an exit fee on withdrawing CAL from a vault. Nothing else (Fees and minimums).

Does the founder get a share of settlements? No. Founder status is credit on the climb and the first Local Legend term. It is not a seat and carries no payout.

Data

What is public? On-chain: completions, leaderboards, Local Legend state, deposits, settlements, receipts. In the app: whatever audience you set per ride. Your raw sensor streams, CAL, and DUNG are never shown to other riders.

Can I delete my data? You can request deletion from Settings; requests are completed by support. Account data and connected sources are removed; results already on-chain are not.

Why Solana? Low cost, fast confirmation, and a transaction behind every result. The protocol is on devnet; mainnet has no scheduled date.
