# 3. Minting Synthetic Assets

Once your wallet is connected to Syde, you can mint synthetic assets (synths). To mint synths:

1. Go to the “Mint” page.
2. Select the synthetic asset you want to mint (e.g., $syBTC, $syXAU, etc.) and click on it.
3. Press the “Mint” button. It will open the mint window.
4. Enter the amount of TON that you want to use as collateral. (As 300% of collateral is required, your synth value will be ⅓ of the value of provided collateral. [Read more about collateral](https://sydefi-org.gitbook.io/docs.syde.fi/how-it-works/collateralization))&#x20;
5. Press the “Mint” button.

Approve your transaction in your wallet.
