# 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'):
