# Operation - Mint

### Key Steps

1. **Parse Minting Amount**:
   * Convert the desired minting amount into the correct unit using the `parseUnits` function. This function requires specifying the number of decimals to use, which aligns with the debt token's specifications (usually 18 decimals, like Ethereum).
2. **Execute Minting Transaction**:
   * Call the `doBorrow` function with the necessary parameters, including the public and wallet clients, protocol configuration, collateral information, and the parsed minting amount.

### Usage

This function is typically used when a user needs to:

* **Increase Leverage**: Mint additional stablecoins to leverage their investment position further without selling existing collateral.
* **Manage Financial Needs**: Access additional funds for other investment opportunities or personal expenditures without liquidating their assets.

### Example

```typescript
import { parseUnits } from 'viem';
import { publicClient, walletClient, protocolConfig, collateral } from 'satoshi-sdk';

const DEBT_TOKEN_DECIMALS = 18; // Standard decimals for Ethereum-based tokens

async function increaseMinting() {
  // Step 1: Define the amount to mint
  const addMintingAmt = parseUnits('5', DEBT_TOKEN_DECIMALS);  // Mint an additional 5 SAT stablecoins

  // Step 2: Execute the minting transaction
  const receipt = await satoshiClient.Postition.doBorrow({
    publicClient,
    walletClient,
    protocolConfig,
    collateral,
    addMintingAmt,
  });

  console.log('Minting additional stablecoins successful:', receipt);
}

increaseMinting();
```
