# Single-Asset Deposit

**Deposit ANY ONE of the assets in your desired pool.**

As an example, let’s walk through the single-asset deposit feature using the $ETH-$USDC vault using BaseSwap DEX on the Base chain.

Suppose you want to deposit liquidity into this pool but all you have is $ETH. Instead of converting some of it to $USDC before depositing, you can make your deposit in a single asset.

### Tutorial

* Go to [https://pro.a51.finance](https://pro.a51.finance/) and connect your wallet.
* Select BaseSwap DEX and Base chain from the list.
* Search for **$ETH-$USDC** pools. Select any of the pools that match your requirements.
* In the **Add Liquidity** box, click the **Single Asset** tab.
* Select $ETH from the dropdown and enter the amount of $ETH.

A51 uses OKX for converting the single asset deposit into the other required token of the pool, it swaps the asset into a dynamic ratio to better utilize all the assets by the user. It then deposits the converted asset according to the required ratio of the strategy.

There may exist some scenarios in which the strategy ratio isn't perfectly in the center. In this case, A51 deposits the assets in the required ratio and returns the remaining unused assets to the user.

## 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.a51.finance/carbon/a51-v3/intents/single-asset-deposit.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.
