# Minting
To mint leveraged tokens, go to the top panel and click **Mint**. This will open the minting page where you can select your asset, direction, margin, and leverage factor. Note, on the Bounce UI, a leveraged position is denominated in USDC and not in the amounts of the leveraged token.
1. **Select the asset you want to trade**
Select the asset you want to trade from the dropdown
2. **Select long or** **short, leverage, and the amount of USDC you want to mint with**
After entering the amount of USDC, click the mint button
3. **Sign transaction(s) in wallet.** If it is your first time minting you will be prompted to sign two transactions: One for approval and one for executing the mint. This only occurs the first time you mint a leveraged token, future mints will only require **one transaction**.
After executing the mint transaction you'll get a pop-up showing that your **mint was successful!**
4. **View minted leveraged tokens on the positions tab or portfolio page**

## 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.bounce.tech/basics/guides/minting.md?ask=&goal=
```
`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.
