How to swap tokens in Pintu Web3 Wallet

Swap is the process of exchanging one type of crypto asset (token) for another directly. It is a core feature of decentralized exchanges (DEXs), enabling users to trade or convert crypto assets easily.

For example, you can swap SOL (Solana) for USDC (USD Coin), which means you’re purchasing USDC by exchanging your SOL.

Swap services offer several advantages, including fast transactions, low fees, easy access without third-party intermediaries, full control over your assets during the exchange, and anonymity.

In addition to swaps within the same blockchain, Pintu Web3 also offers a Cross-Chain Swap feature, allowing users to swap tokens across different blockchains in a single, seamless step—without ever leaving their wallet.

How to Swap Tokens Cross-Chain on Pintu Web3

You can now easily perform cross-chain token swaps using Pintu Web3. This feature allows you to select both the source chain and the destination chain, enabling direct swaps between tokens on different blockchains.

For example, if you want to swap BONK (on the Solana network) for Brett (on the Base network), here’s a simple step-by-step guide:

On the Pintu Web3 homepage, tap ‘Swap’

Select the crypto asset you want to swap by tapping the ‘Spend’ and ‘Get’ sections

After tapping ‘Spend’, choose the source network by clicking on its logo. Pintu Web3 supports several networks including Solana, Ethereum, Polygon, Base, Binance Smart Chain, Arbitrum, and more

Once you select the token to swap (e.g., BONK on Solana), search for the token you want to receive ‘Get‘ (e.g., Brett on Base) either by name, ticker, or contract address, then click its logo

Make sure to enter the correct amount of tokens to swap — place BONK in the top field and BRETT in the bottom field. You can enter a specific amount or tap ‘Max’ to swap your entire balance

Review the token selection and amount to ensure everything is correct, then tap ‘Continue’ to proceed

Since this is a cross-chain swap, make sure you have the native token on the source chain to pay for gas fees — in this case, Solana (SOL). Then, confirm your swap by tapping ‘Confirm’

Done! You’ve successfully completed a cross-chain token swap on Pintu Web3

How to Swap Tokens Within the Same Blockchain Network

Here’s how to swap tokens within the same blockchain network on Pintu Web3:

On the Pintu Web3 homepage, tap ‘Swap’

Select the crypto asset you want to swap by tapping the ‘Spend’ and ‘Get’ fields

After tapping ‘Spend’, choose the network and token/address you want to swap — for example, SOL on the Solana network

Next, tap the ‘Get’ field. If you’re swapping tokens on the same network, you don’t need to tap any other network logo. You can simply search for the token/address in the search bar

For example, if you want to swap SOL for USDC, enter SOL in the top field and USDC in the bottom field. Then, enter the amount you wish to swap or tap ‘Max’ to exchange your entire balance, and tap ‘Continue’
