# Churning Tutorial

{% hint style="info" %}
Before we start, make sure you have $MILKY tokens that you can lock. You can obtain $MILKY by swapping or farming.

For more information on swapping, visit our [trading tutorial](https://milkyswap.gitbook.io/milkyswap/the-platform/exchange/trading-tutorial).

For more information on farming for $MILKY, visit our [farming tutorial](https://milkyswap.gitbook.io/milkyswap/the-platform/farming/farming-tutorial)
{% endhint %}

The process of locking your $MILKY tokens is simple. Just follow these easy steps!

1. If you have successfully farmed $MILKY, the next step is go to the Churn page. This will take you to our locking mechanism.

2\. You will see an option to add a locking time and amount. Add the amount of $MILKY tokens you wish to lock and the period of time you wish to lock them for. Remember, the amount of CREAMY you receive is tied to the length of time you lock your $MILKY tokens. 1 locked $MILKY is equal to 1 CREAMY

## 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://milkyswap.gitbook.io/milkyswap/creamy/churning-for-creamy/churning-tutorial.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.
