# Swap

Swap converts one cryptocurrency into another right inside Cake Wallet — Bitcoin to Monero, Lightning sats to a stablecoin, anything to anything the providers support. No exchange account, no deposit-withdraw dance: pick a pair, review the rate, swipe.

{% step %}

### Pick what you're sending and receiving

Tap `Swap` on the home screen. Set **Send** to the asset and wallet the funds come from, and **Receive** to what you want back. Multi-network assets like USDC ask you to pick the network; assets with special forms — like Bitcoin's Lightning balance — appear as their own entries.

The receiver defaults to your own matching wallet — `Select Receiver` lets you pick another of your wallets or an external address.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Review the quote

Enter an amount and Cake Wallet finds the best rate across its swap providers, showing the estimated amount you'll receive and which provider is quoting it.

Want a different provider? Tap the provider bar. `Best Rate` is the default preference; you can also stick to decentralized providers (Chainflip, Jupiter, Near Intents) or pick a specific one. Trocador acts as an aggregator that routes your trade to whichever exchange offers the best terms.

The swap Configure screen (sliders icon) also offers a **Fixed rate** toggle: floating-rate swaps are estimates that track the market until execution, while fixed-rate swaps lock the quoted amount in exchange for a slightly worse rate.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Confirm and send

The confirmation sheet shows the exact amounts, your network fee, the destination wallet, and the **Swap ID** — the reference support teams use to find your trade. Check it over, then `Swipe to send`.

{% hint style="info" %}
The final amount can differ a little from the first estimate — rates move between quoting and execution on floating-rate swaps, and provider fees settle at execution time. If you need the amount of crypto you receive to be an exact amount, use `Fixed rate`.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Track it

The trade appears in `History` and moves through statuses — `Waiting` → `Sending` → `Success`. Tap it for Trade Details: status, Swap ID, provider, and a tracking link on the provider's site. Most swaps complete in minutes; cross-chain pairs can take longer.

## If something goes wrong

Save your **Swap ID** (also called Trade ID — [glossary](https://docs.cakewallet.com/faq/glossary/trade-id)), note down the provider used, and contact Cake Wallet support first via the in-app chat or <support@cakewallet.com> — we'll contact the provider behind your trade if necessary and escalate for you. See [Swap support](https://docs.cakewallet.com/support/swap) for the full provider directory.
