 This presumes that you have a file containing the JSON in your path called "test_pool.json".
 
+## How to insert the reserved ticker name?
+
+Currently, the SMASH service works by allowing superusers to insert the ticker name and the hash of the pool they want to be reserved _for that ticker name_.
+
+There is a CLI utility for doing exactly that. If you want to reserve the ticker name "SALAD" for the specific metadata hash "2560993cf1b6f3f1ebde429f062ce48751ed6551c2629ce62e4e169f140a3524", then you would reserve it like this:
+```
+SMASHPGPASSFILE=config/pgpass stack run smash-exe -- insert-ticker-name --tickerName "SALAD" --poolhash "2560993cf1b6f3f1ebde429f062ce48751ed6551c2629ce62e4e169f140a3524"
+```
+
+If somebody adds the ticker name that exists there, it will not be returned, but it will return 404.
