# Adding Liquidity

## **How to add liquidity to a pool:**

1. Navigate to the '**DIG**' card on the app, choose '**Provide Liquidity**' and connect your wallet.

2\. You add liquidity to the pool in the form of two tokens at a 1:1 ratio according to their USD value

* Select "**Create a Pair**" to choose the token pair you wish to add to the liquidity pool.

For this example we choose **ETH-SHIB** pair

* Choose '**Select a token'** to pick the second token , SHIB in this case

  * Each pool has its own specific SSLP tokens
