# Getting started with the local TOWN demo

Audience: Participants | Version: 0.1 | Updated: 2026-09-05 | Status: Local review draft

A short tour of the fictional campaign experience, from discovery to a simulated position.

## Start with the demo boundary

TOWN is a local product rehearsal with fictional campaigns, balances, prices, wallets, quotes, approvals, and outcomes. It does not move live value or establish custody, voting authority, settlement, or legal rights.

Changes made in the main campaign experience live only in browser memory and reset when the page reloads. The Records and Operations pages use separate local services when those services are running.


## Find your way around

Home introduces the current campaigns. Discover lists all fictional campaigns and opens a campaign detail page. Protocol explains the modeled mechanics. Proposer opens the campaign creation and lifecycle rehearsal.

- Connect wallet opens a browser-wallet option and three synthetic account previews. Connecting does not request a transaction signature.
- Portfolio appears after a wallet is connected and keeps each campaign-token balance separate.
- Learn & help, Documents, and Investor overview open this review library. Leaving the main campaign app resets its in-memory demo activity.
- Records opens the read-only local campaign ledger. A missing local reader should show data as unavailable.
- The authenticated local Operations workspace is linked from the proposer close-campaign flow and is separate from the public campaign UI.

## Try a campaign flow

Open a campaign and read its mandate, counterthesis, backing model, lifecycle, and exit state before using the participation card. The Mint / Redeem, Swap, and Position tabs show different parts of the same fictional campaign.

Minting starts with eligible tokenized equity already in the wallet. The optional partner-onramp rehearsal ends with eligible base equity in the wallet; it does not mint a TOWN campaign token until a separate deposit is reviewed.


## Reset or troubleshoot the demo

Reload the page to clear locally created campaigns and in-memory balance changes. Each proposer reset control resets only its own panel state; it may retain backing changes, draft fields or an already-created campaign. Reload to clear all main-app in-memory activity.

- If Portfolio is missing, connect one of the synthetic wallet previews.
- If an action is disabled, check the campaign state, entered amount, wallet balance, and policy result shown nearby.
- If Records or Operations is unavailable, follow the workspace README for the required local service. No public support address is configured in this prototype.
