What test collateral is

Test collateral is a mock token used for local development and testnet flows. It is not real USDC and should not be treated as having market value. The app may show a mint action for test collateral on supported local or test networks.

​
When to mint

Mint test collateral when you need funds to try event trades, price trades, LP deposits, staking demos, or resolution workflows in a development environment.

​
Supported environments

Availability depends on app configuration and deployed mock contracts. Common development networks include local Hardhat or Anvil chains and Base Sepolia. If the mint button is missing, you may be on an unsupported chain or the mock token address may not be configured.

​
Safety checklist

  • Confirm you are on a test or local network.
  • Confirm the token symbol and contract address before approving.
  • Do not send real assets to mock contracts.
  • Expect balances and deployments to reset in local environments.
