What is a crypto swap?
Category: Swapping Crypto
Answer
A swap exchanges one cryptocurrency for another directly — ETH to USDC, BTC to SOL, etc. Unlike selling to fiat and buying again, swaps happen on-chain and are faster and cheaper.
About this answer
Swapping tokens means going from one cryptocurrency to another without touching fiat. Swaps routes through on-chain aggregators that find the lowest-cost path between the two tokens, accounting for liquidity depth, slippage, and gas. The output goes to your own wallet — Swaps does not hold any tokens during the swap. Pair availability depends on the chains involved and live liquidity.
