Branches
Split, merge and redeem are the three moves of a branch token. None of them is priced, and none carries a fee.
Split
Splitting deposits n of a token into the event’s vault for that token. You receive n of its YES token and n of its NO token. The vault holds n more.
Any listed asset can be split, and so can the quote: splitting 250 USDC gives 250 USDC·YES and 250 USDC·NO.
Merge
Merging returns n YES and n NO of the same token and releases n of the token from the vault. A matched pair merges at any time, before and after resolution.
Redeem
Once an event has resolved, each token of the winning branch redeems 1:1 for the underlying from the vault. Tokens of the other branch redeem for nothing.
Redeem all, in the portfolio, redeems every resolved holding of a wallet in one pass.
The vault invariant
Splitting n mints n of each branch token and adds n to the vault. Merging burns n of each and releases n. So before resolution the vault’s balance equals the supply of each branch mint.
After resolution only the winning mint redeems, 1:1. The vault always covers every redemption.
