# Manual Smart-Contract Interaction In the rare case something happens to Snowball's website, you can always interact with our contracts through a block explorer. This guide will cover how to deposit funds into our contracts, claim your SNOB rewards and withdraw from our contracts without relying on our beautiful web interfaces. {% hint style="info" %} If you're planning on interact with deprecated contracts, all the addresses you'll need can be found [**here**](/smart-contracts/deprecated-contracts.md) instead of our usual compounding contracts page. {% endhint %} ## Depositing into Compounding Strategies 1\) If depositing LP tokens, first supply liquidity to a pool on [**Pangolin**](https://app.pangolin.exchange/#/png/1) or [**Trader Joe**](https://www.traderjoexyz.com/#/pool) that receives rewards. 2\) Find the contract address for the pool you deposited into and open it on a [**C-Chain block explorer**](https://snowtrace.io). On Pangolin, this can be found on their [**analytics page**](https://info.pangolin.exchange/#/home). On Trader Joe, this can be found through their [**pools page**](https://www.traderjoexyz.com/#/pool). 3\) Once you have found it, click on **Contract** and **Write Contract**. ![](/files/2vQSQRHeXbLAMoqw1irI) 4\) If not already connected, connect your MetaMask wallet to the block explorer. ![](/files/20K0ejwbNGnIutjKS1L5) 5\) Find the **Approve** method. In the first box - *spender(address)* - you will need to input Snowball's **compounding deposit contract** for the token pair you'd like to compound. This can be found on our [**Compounding Contracts page**](/smart-contracts/compounding-contracts.md). In the second box - *value(uint256)* - add the amount of LP tokens you would like to approve or a slightly larger amount. If you are unsure, you may simply input an arbitrarily large number such as `999999999999999999999999999`. This value simply needs to be equal to or larger than the amount you wish to transfer in the next steps. ![](/files/30iwtRZ0mP7ZP25MQxNH) 6\) Click **Write**. You will be asked to approve the transaction through your wallet. 7\) Navigate to the Snowball's compounding deposit contract through the block explorer and click on **Contract** and **Write Contract**. This is the same address that you entered on step 5. 8\) Find the **depositAll** method. ![](/files/LcNj1Xptk3cveM6kkEYM) {% hint style="danger" %} **Never deposit tokens directly into a compounding gauge contract. Doing so will lead to a loss of funds.** Steps 9 and 14 are to deposit into the compounding deposit contract and compounding gauge contract respectively. These need to be followed in order. {% endhint %} 9\) Click **Write**. You will be asked to approve the transaction through your wallet. 10\) On the same page, find the **Approve** method.
