## Try it without a wallet

The product preview starts with a sample community and a practice wallet. Its balances stay in this browser. No trade, payment, image generation, or social post happens in this walkthrough.

The browser-local operating loop, shown before its first action. Example data.

1. **Open the product preview.** Scroll to “Try the loop.” The sample community starts with a $428 demo operating budget.

2. **Simulate a $1,000 trade.** Select Simulate trade. The illustrative 1% fee is $10; the 50% operations share adds $5 to the demo budget.

3. **Run a creative brief.** Select Run creative brief. The first sample job uses $12 of demo budget and opens a template brief with a receipt.

4. **Switch perspectives.** Open Investor view to see the budget, production limit, and posting state. Refresh the page to see your demo state persist.

## Start the walkthrough again

Open Demo wallet, choose Reset demo to $10,000, then confirm. This removes browser-local demo coins, trades, and receipts. It does not erase saved studio projects or reverse a devnet transaction.

The sample charts and market figures are illustrative. A custom demo coin only exists in the browser where you created it.
