Tutorial

Back a shared portfolio and mint shares

Use the browser simulator to add 1 REP to a shared portfolio, then purchase complete sets for one of its questions. A complete set contains one share of every outcome. You will see your principal rise from 5,000 to 5,001 REP and receive shares in your simulated wallet.

Open the prepared portfolio

This exercise uses fake assets in a browser-local chain. From a prepared checkout, run bun run app:serve:statoblast and open http://localhost:12347/#/portfolios?simulate=1&genesis=yes&simScenario=portfolio. No wallet extension or live funds are needed. Wait for Price current in the Shared backing section.

The fixture supplies two registered questions, 5,000 REP of your principal, a 10 ETH commitment and a 120% saved health target. The portfolio shares that commitment across its questions; each question has separate outcome shares. See How Statoblast works for the economic model.

The prepared portfolio's Your capital section shows principal, commitment and saved health target.
Your starting account. The fixture has already authorized backing.

Add one REP

  1. In Deposit REP, enter 1 in REP amount. If an approval is requested, approve the displayed amount and confirm its review.
  2. Select Deposit REP, review the transaction, and confirm it.
  3. Wait for Transaction confirmed. Under Your capital, check that Your total principal is now 5,001 REP. Your commitment remains 10 ETH: depositing does not automatically increase it.

Purchase complete sets

  1. In Mint portfolio complete sets, choose a title under Question. Read the question details and verify its full ID. Use Find by question ID to enter an exact identifier instead.
  2. Enter 0.01 for Collateral ETH, 0.1 for Maximum purchase fee ETH, and 0 for Minimum complete sets. The zero minimum is suitable for this controlled simulation; a live purchase should set a minimum from its quote.
  3. Check Purchase fee ETH. Select Mint portfolio complete sets and confirm the review. Unused fee budget returns to your wallet.
  4. Wait for Transaction confirmed. Open the selected question through its link and inspect your outcome balances in the Shares view. Each outcome has the same newly minted quantity.
The portfolio purchase form selects a registered question and bounds collateral, purchase fee and shares received.
Purchase controls. The fee budget is separate from collateral.

You have added capital and bought question shares through the same portfolio. Reloading a new simulation resets its local chain; these balances are not live assets. To understand fees or exiting capital, continue with Fees and the capital guardrails.
