Splitting converts pUSD collateral into a full (position) set of outcome tokens. For every $1 pUSD you split, you receive 1 Yes token and 1 No token. 
$100 pUSD → 100 Yes tokens + 100 No tokens

​
Prerequisites

Before splitting, ensure you have:
  1. pUSD balance on Polygon
  2. pUSD approval for the CTF contract to spend your tokens
  3. Condition ID of the market — the condition must already be prepared on the CTF contract (via prepareCondition)
If the partition is trivial, invalid, or refers to more slots than the condition is prepared with, the transaction will revert.

​
How It Works

  1. You approve the CTF contract to spend your pUSD
  2. You call splitPosition() with the amount and market details
  3. The CTF contract transfers pUSD from your wallet and mints both outcome tokens
The operation is atomic — if any step fails, the entire transaction reverts.
