ParcelFiDocs
Everything you need to use ParcelFi on Base — from connecting a wallet to buying and selling tokenized lien positions.
Getting started
1. Connect your wallet
Click Connect Wallet in the navbar. MetaMask (or any injected EVM wallet) will prompt you to switch to Base — the network is added automatically if your wallet doesn't know it yet. Without a wallet installed, ParcelFi falls back to a local demo mode.
2. Get ETH for gas
Transactions need a small amount of ETH on Base. Bridge ETH to Base — gas fees are typically well under a cent.
3. Get USDC
Markets settle in USDC, the canonical stablecoin on Base. Bridge or acquire USDC to your wallet to fund positions.
4. Buy a position
Enter an amount (minimum 1 USDC) and confirm. The first purchase asks for an ERC-20 approval, then the buy transaction escrows your USDC in the markets contract and records your position onchain.
5. Track and sell
Your positions and activity (with explorer links) appear in Portfolio, including yield accrued at each market's statutory rate. Selling returns your full principal plus accrued yield (paid from the protocol rewards pool) in a single transaction.

Technical FAQ
Is this real money?
ParcelFi is launching on Base mainnet and settles in USDC, a real stablecoin. Transactions will move real funds. Positions are escrowed in the markets contract and fully refundable via sell. This is early-stage software: contracts are unaudited and the markets are not yet backed by real-world lien custody.
Where is the market data stored?
Funding progress and user positions are read directly from the ParcelFi Markets contract via the public RPC — everyone sees the same onchain state.
Why do I need two transactions on my first buy?
The first transaction is a standard ERC-20 approval that lets the markets contract move your USDC; the second is the buy itself. Subsequent buys within the approved amount only need one transaction.
Can I verify the contracts?
Yes — both contract addresses are listed above and all transactions are visible on the Base explorer.
