First, connect your wallet. Instructions on how to set up a wallet can be found here:

Token selection

Select a token you wish to swap (figure 1).

The token will be automatically selected if you came from the Token Page and clicked 'Buy' or 'Sell'.

The default when selecting a token is to create a buy order for that token pair. This can be easily switched to a sell order by clicking the double arrows.

Swap form

There are 3 types of swap to choose from:

Swap

Limit

Liquidity

Swap

'Simple Swap' is the easiest and quickest way to swap your tokens. Simply specify either how much you wish to send or receive, and the form will autocomplete with your requirements. Simple Swap matches your requirements with current open orders, and displays the details of your swap for you to check before placing the order (figure 2).

You cannot specify price when using 'Swap'. To specify price, please see 'Limit'.

Limit

A 'Limit Order' allows you to specify your price. Your order has to be matched with a fellow user for a trade to be successful, so it may not go through straight away. You can withdraw your order at any time.

Complete the form with your requirements (figure 3). The current market price is automatically selected. You can enter a custom price, or use the price selection helper buttons (1%, 5%, 10%). These will be minus(-) for a sell order, or plus(+) for a buy order. The purpose of this would be to help your order to be fulfilled sooner.

Read the form through from top to bottom before submitting, to ensure it makes logical sense and all numbers have been entered correctly. Make sure the calculations at the bottom of the form are what you were expecting.

Once you have double checked the form and are happy to proceed, click 'Place order' and sign the transaction in your Alephium wallet.

N.B. These trades may take time to happen. Your order has to be matched with a fellow user for a trade to be successful. You can withdraw your order at any time.

Liquidity

Our Automatic Liquidity system allows you to concentrate liquid perfectly on any trading pair.

Please see Automatic Liquidity for more information.
