Swapping

Executing a Swap on CrossDex

Swapping tokens on CrossDex is a simple and efficient process. Follow these steps to execute a swap:

  1. Navigate to the Swap Interface: Open the CrossDex app and select the "Swap" tab.

  2. Select Tokens:

    • In the "From" field, choose the token you want to swap from your wallet.

    • In the "To" field, select the token you want to receive.

  3. Enter Amount:

    • Input the amount of the token you want to swap in the "From" field.

    • The corresponding amount in the "To" field will automatically update based on the current exchange rate.

  4. Review Transaction Details:

    • Check the estimated output, including the minimum amount you will receive after the swap.

    • Review the price impact, which shows how your trade will affect the market price.

    • Verify the liquidity provider fee, typically a small percentage of the transaction.

  5. Confirm the Swap:

    • Click the "Swap" button and review the transaction summary.

    • Confirm the transaction in your connected wallet.

    • Wait for the transaction to be processed on the BNB Chain.

Understanding Price Impact and Slippage

Price impact and slippage are important factors to consider when swapping tokens:

  • Price Impact: This refers to the effect your trade will have on the market price of the token pair. Large trades relative to the pool size will have a higher price impact.

  • Slippage: Slippage is the difference between the expected price of a trade and the actual price at which the trade is executed. Set a slippage tolerance to control the acceptable amount of slippage for your trade.

Tips for Successful Swapping

  • Monitor Market Conditions: Execute swaps during times of lower market volatility to minimize slippage and price impact.

  • Use Limit Orders: Where available, use limit orders to specify the maximum or minimum price you are willing to accept for a trade.

  • Check Gas Fees: Ensure you have sufficient BNB in your wallet to cover transaction fees on the BNB Chain.
