Swap instructions

Accessing the Swap tool: On the home page of your wallet, you’ll notice the Swap button underneath your balance. Tap here to begin a swap.

Selecting coins: After tapping Swap, you’ll be shown a list of your balances that are available for swapping. Choose the coin you’d like to swap from your balances, and then, you’ll be asked to select the coin you’d like to swap to. When selecting the coin you’d like to swap to, you may either search for the coin, or enter the coins contract address.

Enter quantity and confirm: Once you’ve selected the coins for your swap, enter the amount you’d like to spend inside the top box. Kraken Wallet will automatically find the best price and lowest fees available across the network.

If you’re satisfied with the swap details, tap Swap, you’ll then be shown the details once more where you can Confirm and submit your swap to the chain.

Check your balances: After submitting your swap, you’ll be taken to the Kraken Wallet homepage where you can drag down to refresh your balances. If the swap was successful, you should now see your updated balances.

Choosing a DEX: First, you’ll need to choose the DEX that you’d like to use for your swap. You may view a full list of popular DEX applications here. For this example, we will use Velodrome Finance.

Connecting your Kraken Wallet to the DEX: Follow the guide located here to connect your Kraken Wallet to the DEX of your choice. In this article's instructions, we will be using a mobile device, although you may also use a desktop computer.

Go the the DEX Swap page: Some DEXs default to their swap page, or you may need to find it in the website menu. For Velodrome.finance, the Swap page opens by default. This allows you to get started right away with your swap.

Fill in transaction details: Select the coin you’d like to spend (top box), and then select the coin you’d like to receive (bottom box). After you’ve selected the coins, you may fill out how much you’d like to spend in the top box, and your receiving amount will automatically populate.

Confirm the transaction: Scroll down to the “Swap (coin) to (coin)” button. Tap here and you’ll be prompted to open Kraken Wallet. Click Open.

Submit transaction: On Kraken Wallet, the transaction will automatically appear for your final review. If you’re satisfied with the swap, tap Confirm to submit the transaction to the chain. Your Kraken Wallet will automatically update when the transaction is complete, you do not need to return to Velodrome (or whichever DEX you used) unless you want to perform more swaps.
