# Swap Tokens

This guide shows how to swap tokens **between different blockchains** using Symbiosis.

* For Tron-related swaps, see [swaps-to-and-from-tron](https://docs.symbiosis.finance/user-guide-webapp/swaps-to-and-from-tron "mention")
* For Bitcoin-related swaps, check [swap-bitcoin](https://docs.symbiosis.finance/user-guide-webapp/swap-bitcoin "mention")

## Steps to Perform a Cross-Chain Swap

Symbiosis WebApp is available at <https://app.symbiosis.finance/>

{% hint style="success" %}
**Before you start:**\
Make sure you have enough **native tokens (gas)** on the **source network** to pay transaction fees.
{% endhint %}

1. Select your **From** and **To** tokens and chains.
2. Enter the amount of tokens you want to swap (From).
3. Review swap details: **Do not skip this step**\
   \
   Symbiosis automatically finds the best route for your selected token pair and amount.\
   Always review the output before confirming the swap.\
   \
   **Key values to check:**&#x20;

   1. The estimated amount to receive (1)
   2. USD values (2)
   3. Minimum received (4)

{% endcolumn %}

{% column width="50%" %} <mark style="color:green;">**(1)**</mark> **To amount**: Estimated amount to be received on the destination network. The final amount may vary slightly due to slippage, but it will not be lower than the Minimum received amount.

<mark style="color:green;">**(2)**</mark> **USD values**: Approximate USD value of the selected amounts. Useful for comparison.

<mark style="color:green;">**(3)**</mark>**&#x20;Receive to another wallet:** The recipient address is taken from the connected wallet. You can specify a different address here.

<mark style="color:green;">**(4)**</mark>**&#x20;Minimum received:** The minimum guaranteed amount you will receive after the swap, based on current rates and settings.

<mark style="color:green;">**(5)**</mark>**&#x20;Price**: Current conversion rate for your swap, influenced by trade size.

<mark style="color:green;">**(6)**</mark>**&#x20;Slippage Tolerance:** Percentage of the trade value you’re willing to accept as a price change. It can be adjusted via the settings icon.

<mark style="color:green;">**(7)**</mark>**&#x20;Estimated time:** Expected time to complete the cross-chain swap, based on historical data.

<mark style="color:green;">**(8)**</mark>**&#x20;Price impact:** How much this swap affects the market price.

<mark style="color:green;">**(9)**</mark>**&#x20;Fee**: Total estimated fee for the swap.

{% endcolumn %}
{% endcolumns %}

4. **Connect wallet & switch network**\
   Connect your wallet and switch to the required **source network** when prompted.
5. **Approve token (if needed)**

   1. **Native tokens** (ETH, BNB, etc.) do **not** require approval.
   2. **Non-native tokens** (USDC, USDT, etc.) require **Approve**.

   Approval gives Symbiosis permission to use the selected token for the swap.
6. **Confirm the swap**\
   Click **Swap** and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
7. **Wait for completion**\
   Cross-chain swaps usually take 1–3 minutes. Swaps involving the Bitcoin network may take longer.
8. **Track your swap**\
   You can track the status and history of your swaps using [Symbiosis Explorer](https://explorer.symbiosis.finance/transactions).

## Favorite Token List

With the Symbiosis WebApp, you can create and manage your own custom token list. This feature is useful if you frequently swap a few specific tokens and want quick access to them instead of searching through the full token list each time.

**Add a Token to the Favorite Token List**

1. Open the network and token sector (the **From** or **To** field) in the Symbiosis WebApp
2. Locate the token you want to add to your favorites, click the `...` button next to the token and select **Add to favorites**:\

**Choose a Token from the Favorite Token List:**

1. Open the network and token sector (the From or To fields) in the Symbiosis WebApp.
2. Open your **favorites list** (click the **star icon**) and select the token you want to use:\
   ![](https://1179234091-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MbqmbXNUH5sa4BvYwD0%2Fuploads%2FkAjhOfnMcEBguG0Uec1m%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=3d095849-45f9-4cf6-aa61-634987605bab)

Done\

## Swap Routing and Liquidity Sources

Symbiosis supports both cross-chain and on-chain swaps. Depending on the route, a swap may use Symbiosis infrastructure together with external liquidity sources, such as DEXs, pools, aggregators, or partner protocols.

In the Symbiosis WebApp, users can manage available liquidity sources in settings:

<div align="left"><figure><img src="https://1179234091-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MbqmbXNUH5sa4BvYwD0%2Fuploads%2FycgmhuprHzaNREoMyuHN%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=b8837524-aba8-48d5-aba3-2696747de952" alt="" width="375"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

**Important:** Disabling a source may remove some available routes or reduce the number of routing options for certain swaps. Here is an example:\
