# Making a Coverage Pool

Anyone can set up a Coverage Pool easily on the app. Once you have specified the network and smart contract address, they can create a new pool by depositing 1,000 USDT or more. All other users will be able to see the pool that has been created.

**STEP 1: Add Contract**

Visit the Bridge Mutual application and click the Provide Coverage tab on the left-hand sidebar of the web page. Click on the Add Contract button at the top right-hand corner of the Provide Coverage page.

**STEP 2: Add contract address and project name** 

Once you click add contract, a system popup will appear and ask for the contract address, shield mining coin, and project name.

![Fill in all the fields to complete the new contract addition.](https://2732138923-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-McJ-rdy5DzkSkdXp6VM%2Fuploads%2F938j3X1mpmoM6UPYhmxJ%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=1b288f73-64a0-47db-8f65-82cd15416069)

The shield mining coin input will ask for a link to the project token smart contract. \
