# Earn BLD by adding liquidity to IST/OSMO pool on Osmosis

1. First, [deposit IST to Osmosis](/user-how-to/ist-usage-and-beyond/deposit-ist-to-osmosis.md). You'll also need an equally valued amount of OSMO in order to add liquidity to the other OSMO half of the pool. Alternatively you could use the auto-swap single asset feature.
2. Navigate to <https://app.osmosis.zone/pool/837> or search for 'IST/OSMO' from 'Pools'. (Note: you will have to toggle 'All Pools'):

4. Hit 'Add/Remove Liquidity'. Enter the amounts you would like to add to the pool (Note: pool ratio is 50/50 so you must have equivalent assets for each half of the pool):

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.inter.trade/user-how-to/ist-usage-and-beyond/earn-bld-by-adding-liquidity-to-ist-osmo-pool-on-osmosis.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
