# How to Participate in the Genesis Pools

In order to participate, users must start by [supplying](/liquidity-market/supplying.md) KAVA, ATOM, or USDt to Hover's lending pools. Upon supplying, users are given a lending receipt token called an[ hToken](/liquidity-market/supplying/htokens.md) in exchange for their deposit. Users must then deposit the associated hTokens (hKAVA, hATOM, or hUSDt) into the Genesis Pools.

Making the hToken deposit is a very important step. If the user makes the supply deposit but fails to deposit the hTokens into the Genesis Pool, they will not be able to receive the Genesis Pool yield.&#x20;
