How Glide works

Glide lets you trade real Solana tokens without risking real money. Every account is funded with 100 virtual SOL. Prices, charts, and market caps are pulled from live on-chain market data - only your balance is simulated. Fills, fees, and slippage are modeled so your results reflect what a real trade would have done.

There is no deposit and no KYC to start. Your real wallet is only ever used to verify identity for rewards and to receive payouts - funds never leave it for trading.

Sign up with an email and password, or connect a Solana wallet (sign-in with Solana - no transaction, no gas). You are funded instantly with 100 virtual SOL and dropped into the app.

You can also try Glide without an account: the “Try now” trial grants 1 free SOL for a short session so you can place a trade before signing up.

Open any token to see its live candle chart and order panel. Buy with an amount of SOL; sell a percentage of your position. The instant-trade widget (hotkey t) gives one-click presets - clicking an amount buys immediately, clicking a percent sells immediately.

Prices stream live and update every second. A trade is rejected if the cached price is stale (older than a few minutes); sells always re-fetch a fresh price first so your exit is accurate.

Positions are tracked with FIFO accounting(first-in, first-out). Each buy adds lots at your fill price; each sell consumes the oldest lots first and books realized PnL against them. Your unrealized PnL is the live value of what you still hold minus its cost basis.

USD values are frozen at fill timeusing the SOL/USD rate of that moment - historical trades are never re-priced with today’s FX. That’s why the numbers stay trustworthy: what you see is what the trade actually did. All money math is exact decimal arithmetic, never floating point.

The leaderboard ranks traders by daily PnL%. Each day and week is an epoch; when it closes, the top 10 eligible traders split a real SOL prize pool, paid straight to their verified wallet on-chain. Every payout is a verifiable transaction.

The prize pool is funded by pump.fun creator fees. Rewards are claimable from the leaderboard once an epoch settles; unclaimed rewards roll into the next pool after a holding window.

To qualify for a payout in an epoch you need:

• A verified wallet (not a guest session)
• An account at least 48 hours old
• At least 10 trades across at least 5 different tokens in the epoch
• A positive PnL for the epoch

These thresholds keep the board competitive and filter out one-trade luck and throwaway accounts.

Blow up your balance? Relaunch resets your account to a fresh 100 virtual SOL - positions, trade history, and stats are wiped so you can run it back. The first relaunch each day is free; paying a small SOL fee from a verified wallet skips the cooldown if you want to reset again sooner.

Your real SOL never leaves your wallet - relaunch only touches the simulation.

Go Live (coming soon) lets you prove your PnL on paper, then trade the same terminal with your own SOL - real fills, real exits, same interface. Until then, everything on Glide is paper unless explicitly marked live.

Is the price data real? Yes - live on-chain market data for real tokens. Only your balance and fills are simulated.

Can I lose real money? No. Trading uses virtual SOL. Your wallet is only used to verify identity and receive reward payouts.

How do I get paid? Win a top-10 daily spot with positive PnL while meeting the eligibility rules, then claim from the leaderboard - SOL is sent to your verified wallet on-chain.

Is this financial advice? No. Glide is a simulator and a game. Nothing here is financial advice.
