### 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.
