# Through the UI
#### (The guide is in veCRV but is the same for all ecosystems)
After connecting your Ethereum wallet to the dApp you'll first see the dashboard page with an overview of your Curve assets, deposits (if the pool uses veBoost) and your gauge vote weights.
## Buying a Boost
Reminder not every Curve pool uses veBoost, so if you don't see your deposit and boost level it's because it can't be used with Warden. \

### Simple Buy
Starting with your deposit in the Dashboard tab, click "Calculate Boost" to start simulating the amount of veBoost you might want.
#### The Calculator
The calculator allows you to simulate the amount of veCRV you'd need for a given boost multiple.
Once you've determined the desired amount of veCRV hit "Buy Boost" to access the Simple Buy tab. From here you need to specify the highest price/veCRV you're willing to pay and the duration of the boost. Once you've reviewed the order you can make the transaction.
Simple Buy is the most convenient solution for buyers because it aggregates boosts from multiple sellers, bundling the buy versus making multiple deals.
{% hint style="info" %}
After buying a boost you need to update your checkpoint in Curve to have the new boost applied to your position. Go back to the dashboard to update.
{% endhint %}
### Market Buy
If you'd prefer to browse individual offers you can do so on the Market. Head to the Market tab in Boosts to access all the sellers on Warden. Once you've selected an offer you can begin to configure your buy.
1\. Estimate impact on your Pool multiplier
2\. Select how much of the seller's balance you want to buy.
3\. Select the duration of the boost.
{% hint style="info" %}
After buying a boost you need to update your checkpoint in Curve to have the new boost applied to your position. Go back to the dashboard to update.
{% endhint %}
Head back over to the main dashboard page to see your new boost.

## 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.paladin.vote/warden-boost/how-to-use-warden/as-a-buyer/through-the-ui.md?ask=&goal=
```
`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.
