# Deposit in the Silo

Assets on the [Deposit Whitelist](/resources/contracts.md#current-deposit-whitelist) can be [Deposited](/resources/glossary.md#deposit) in the [Silo](/pinto-mechanics/silo-the-perfect-complement-to-credit.md) to earn [Stalk](/resources/glossary.md#stalk) and [Seeds](/resources/glossary.md#seeds). 

1. Make sure you are on <https://pinto.money/> and [connect your wallet](/resources/how-to-guides/getting-started/connect-to-pinto.md).
2. Navigate to the 'Silo' page. At the bottom of the page, there is a table showing the various assets on the Deposit Whitelist.
3. Select the asset you want to Deposit.
4. Select the 'Deposit' tab.
5. There is a drop down menu to select the token you would like to Deposit.
   * Deposits may be made in any Pinto-native asset and will be converted as part of the transaction using [Pinto Exchange](https://pinto.exchange/).
6. Enter the amount you want to Deposit. A transaction preview showing the Stalk and Seeds to be rewarded will appear below the inputs.
7. You may select a slippage tolerance by selecting the gear icon. The default slippage tolerance is 0.5%.
   * The transaction will revert if it doesn't meet the specified conditions.
8. If an approval is not necessary, skip to Step 10. For all other cases, select 'Approve Spending'. This allows the Pinto contract to spend the asset, but does not Deposit it yet.
9. Confirm the approval transaction in your wallet, and your hardware wallet, if applicable. You should verify that the transaction is interacting with the [correct contract](/resources/contracts.md) before signing it.
10. Select 'Deposit'.
11. Confirm the transaction in your wallet and your hardware wallet, if applicable. You should verify that the transaction is interacting with the [correct contract](/resources/contracts.md) before signing it.
12. After the transaction has been confirmed by the network, your Deposit will appear in the 'My Deposits' table on the current page.

## 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.pinto.money/resources/how-to-guides/silo/deposit-in-the-silo.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.
