The flywheel of traders
Stake $GEAR to trade the GEAR vault on Ride. Every week, trading fees buy $GEAR and pay it to the best traders. Better traders get bigger seats, and the wheel turns faster.
Five steps, one loop
$GEAR does one job: it gets you a seat at the vault. The wheel rewards the people who trade well, and every turn makes a seat worth more.
Stake for a seat
Stake $GEAR to trade the GEAR vault on Ride. Seats are priced in dollars, so a seat costs the same whatever the chart does.
Traders make calls
Seated traders call trades. Every call puts the trader's own bond on the line, so nobody trades the vault for free.
The vault trades
The vault executes each call on-chain. Good calls grow the vault and pay the caller their share of the profit.
Fees buy $GEAR
Every week, the vault's cut of trading fees buys $GEAR on the open market. Each buy is a public transaction.
The best traders get paid
The week's top 10 traders by net PnL split the buy. Most restake it for a bigger seat, and the loop starts again.
Pick your seat
The more you stake, the bigger the trades you can call. The Pit Crew seat can't be bought. You earn it every week.

FAQ
Do holders get paid for holding?
No. $GEAR gets you a seat at the vault, not a dividend. Weekly rewards go only to the traders who performed best that week.
What is Ride?
Ride is a Solana app where traders call trades, a fund's treasury executes them on-chain, and the crowd backs or fades each call. The GEAR vault is one fund on Ride.
Where does the weekly buy come from?
From the GEAR vault's share of trading fees on Ride. Every buy is an on-chain transaction, linked in the weekly post on X.
What happens in a bad week?
Fewer fees mean a smaller buy. Seats stay priced in dollars, a reserve keeps the buy going, and the vault pauses new calls after a set loss.
How do I get a seat?
Buy $GEAR, open Ride, and stake on the GEAR vault page. Your seat updates as soon as the stake confirms.
