# Seed a market

> Initialize outcome pools with quoteSeed and market.seed

Open the pools so people can trade — quote collateral first, then call `market.seed`.

There is **no** `client.seedMarket`. Seeding always lives on the market instance: `client.market(addr).seed(…)`.

## Prerequisites

* A created market address and its outcome (wrapped) tokens
* Collateral ≥ `quoteSeed(…).totalCollateral`
* Connected wallet as `owner`

## Steps

### 1. Normalize odds and quote

Odds are basis points that sum to \~10\_000 (keep each outcome between 1% and 99%). Normalize, then quote:

```tsx theme={null}
import { normalizeOddsBps, quoteSeed } from '@voiz/markets-sdk'
import { parseUnits } from 'viem'
import { useVoiz } from '@voiz/markets-sdk/react'

const { client } = useVoiz()

const seedWei = parseUnits('100', 18) // match your collateral decimals
const oddsBps = normalizeOddsBps([60, 40]) // e.g. 60% / 40%

const { splitAmount, poolCollateral, totalCollateral } = quoteSeed({
  seedWei,
  oddsBps,
})
// Show totalCollateral in the UI before the user confirms.
```

### 2. Seed the market

```tsx theme={null}
const market = client.market(marketAddress)

const {
  plan,
  splitResult,
  outcomeResults,
  splitHashes,
  outcomeHashes,
} = await market.seed({
  outcomeTokens, // real outcomes only — not Invalid
  seedWei,
  oddsBps,
  owner: yourAddress,
})
```

`seed` splits once, then submits **one batch per outcome**. Check progress anytime:

```tsx theme={null}
const status = await market.seedStatus() // 'none' | 'partial' | 'seeded'
```

## Tip

`quoteSeed` only needs `seedWei` + `oddsBps` — safe before you have tokens. Fund `totalCollateral` (split + pool side), not just `seedWei`. Same call works without React via `client.market(addr).seed(…)`.
