Money

Eddies (€$) live in one ledger. Every payment is a ledger row with a reason. Your balance is computed from it, never stored loose, so it can always be explained.
A starting balance is granted once.
Scheduled races charge entry and pay out. Solo completion, contested placement and field bonuses are separate figures. Each settlement is an itemised receipt. Nothing is paid twice, and an aborted event refunds.
Practice, qualifying and custom street races mint nothing.
Spending: cars, parts, fuel, repairs, workshop labour, bets.
Race Week's money spike is part of the lore: a flash craze. See Race Week for how wallets reset.

F6 → MARKET lists serialized cars and parts, filterable (ALL, CARS, PARTS, MINE, WANTED). Each listing is one real object.
Autofixer terminals around the city are markets of their own. Stand at one and press E (pad X) to connect. After that, pick it in F6 Market and buy from anywhere.
NPCs buy too. NPC teams buy race cars for reasons, from the same stock, and money circulates through the Paddock.
A unit you produce in the Workshop can be listed on the Base Market; the buyer pays you.

F6 → EXCHANGE is direct driver-to-driver trade:

One exact offer built from machines (with their fitted parts), stored parts and eddies, shown by identity on both sides.
Dual consent: every edit creates a new revision, and both drivers must confirm that same revision. The whole trade settles together or not at all.
Both drivers must be online. A machine carrying trunk cargo must be unloaded before it is traded. Persistent listings and escrow come later.

BookQueen Billie takes positions on NPC races. F6 → PADDOCK → BILLIE'S BOARD.

The board is open to read. Writing paper takes an introduction, and Rico knows a book (see MESSAGES).
The price is locked when you sign. If it moved, Billie tells you to look again. There is no cancel: paper is paper.
Slips have caps per slip, per day and on payout.
