# Create a portfolio

It takes 5 easy steps and less than 3 minutes to create a portfolio on Nested – let us walk you through it.

### 1st step: Click on "Create Portfolio."

### 2nd step: Select your underlying assets.&#x20;

Build your portfolio with the assets of your choice.

You can search for any tokens, play with sliders, and manually set or lock an allocation.

### 3rd step: select a coin you want to create your portfolio with.

The Nested protocol will look for stable coins or crypto you own in your web3 wallet.&#x20;

In this example, we can use USDC to create the portfolio.&#x20;

### 4th step: set your budget.

Set the amount you want to create your portfolio with. In this example, we want to create a portfolio with 746.82 USDC.&#x20;

We must authorize the Nested protocol to take the USDC tokens from our web3 wallet.

nb: If it's the first time you deposit a token, you must authorize it, and click on "Approve USDC".

### 5th step: Make your portfolio stand out.

If you are fine with your budget, the assets you selected, and the weights you fixed – you're done with the most difficult part.

You may now choose a name to customize your portfolio and make it stand out!&#x20;

All left to do now is mint your portfolio by clicking **"Create portfolio"** to finalize the creation process.

Now, you own a NestedNFT representing all your digital assets holdings! \

Well done!

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.nested.fi/instructions-for-use/manage-portfolios/original-portfolios/how-does-it-work.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
