# Buddy Elf Pool (ETH2 staking coins)

*NOTE: Discontinued April 2021.*

In order to provide liquidity to the *Buddy Elf* pool, one must first acquire *aETH, crETH,* or *wETH* and then stake it by doing the following:

1. [Deposit and wrap](https://eth2.ankr.com/) your *ETH* via [***STKR***](https://eth2.ankr.com/) by **ANKR**. This returns back *aETH* tokens. \
   \&#xNAN;*OR*\
   [Deposit and wrap](https://app.cream.finance/eth2/) your *ETH* via [**CREAM Finance**](https://app.cream.finance/). This returns back cr*ETH* tokens. \
   \&#xNAN;*OR*
2. [Deposit and wrap](https://app.uniswap.org/#/swap) your *ETH* via [**Uniswap**](https://app.uniswap.org/). Be sure to select swap from *ETH* to *wETH*. This returns back *wETH* tokens. 
3. Deposit the resulting *aETH, crETH,* or *wETH* on [SnowSwap eth2SNOW Deposit Page](https://snowswap.org/ethsnow/deposit). This returns back *eth2SNOW* tokens.
4. Stake the resulting *eth2SNOW* tokens into the *Buddy Elf* pool.
