# HowTo: Provide Liquidity to Rudolph (SNOW-ETH)
*Note: Yields are not guaranteed and can change daily. Liquidity mining is high risk. This article is not investment advice.*
## Motivation
The top performing staking option is usually to provide liquidity to the *ETH*/*SNOW* pair pool on Uniswap then stake one’s LP coins in *Rudolph’s Pool*. Basically, one must acquire equivalent amounts of *ETH* and *SNOW*, and add them to the liquidity pool on Uniswap. One then receives *UNI V2 LP* (Liquidity Provider) tokens representing one’s ownership share of the liquidity pool. Finally, one stakes these LP tokens on the SnowSwap platform, under “Stake.”
## **Providing Liquidity on Uniswap (Deposit SNOW & ETH and receive SNOW-ETH LP tokens)**
If you have already provided liquidity on Uniswap, you can skip parts of this section. For more information on Uniswap pools, please [consult the Uniswap documentation](https://uniswap.org/docs/v2/core-concepts/pools/).
**First, a word of caution**. When trading on Uniswap, one has to always ensure they are trading the correct token, and not some scam copy with the same name. The address of the official *SNOW* token is **0xfe9a29ab92522d14fc65880d817214261d8479ae**. You should verify this is the same address in Uniswap.
Uniswap hosts the *SNOW/ETH* pool which allows anyone to buy and sell *SNOW* tokens in exchange for ETH:

Before one can add liquidity, one must possess both *SNOW* and *ETH* tokens in one’s wallet. This article assumes that one has already configured a web3 wallet using MetaMask or an alternate web3 browser, acquired *ETH*, and transferred it to one’s wallet. To get *SNOW* tokens we need to use an exchange such as Uniswap, Bilaxy, or Gate.io.
**We can swap some ETH for SNOW right on Uniswap:**

Make sure your wallet is connected, select the right direction of the trade, input the desired quantities, and click on Swap. On the confirmation screen, verify the details are correct, then click “Confirm Swap” and wait for the transaction to be confirmed on the blockchain.
After ensuring we have an equivalent amount of *ETH* and *SNOW* to stake, we can continue to actually add the liquidity to the *ETH-SNOW* pool.

Navigate to the pool above, enter the quantity to provide, and add the liquidity. Your wallet will then hold *UNI V2 LP* (*SNOW-ETH*) tokens which represent your stake of the pool’s liquidity. We next need to stake these tokens into *Rudolph’s Pool* on SnowSwap.
## **Staking *****ETH-SNOW LP***** Tokens on SnowSwap for Massive Yield**
After staking on Uniswap, go back to [SnowSwap stake page](https://snowswap.org/stake) and select *Rudolph’s Pool*. Enter the amount of LP tokens you want to stake (presumably all of them), and click on Deposit. If you want to make future staking transactions faster (and trust the security of our smart contract), you can select the “Infinite approval” option if you like. Authorize the transactions that follow.
Your liquidity tokens are now staked on SnowSwap. Come back to the same screen and check the “Snow Earned” which is updated every block and can be withdrawn at any time. You may wish to periodically withdraw your rewards and stake them in *Frosty’s Pool* (currently 21% APY), or sell them.
## **A Word About Gas Costs**
MetaMask and the SnowSwap platform attempt to recommend the optimal gas cost for each transaction. However, using the Ethereum network during periods of congestion will cost more. If you are not in a hurry, we recommend consulting gas information websites such as[ ethgasstation.info](http://ethgasstation.info/) or[ gasnow.org](http://gasnow.org/) and executing transactions at a time when it is cheaper to use the Ethereum network. Gas costs are the same no matter what quantity of tokens you are transacting, so it is economical to do one transaction of many tokens rather than many transactions of small amounts of tokens.
