Swap
How to swap one Stellar asset for another in the Aquarius interface and adjust slippage tolerance.
The Swap section allows you to exchange one asset for another using Aquarius AMMs as the liquidity source. Only assets included in Aquarius AMM pools can be traded.
How to swap assets
Select the asset you want to trade from and the asset you want to receive. Popular assets are pinned on the top and less popular ones can be found using full text search.
Enter the amount you wish to swap. You can edit either side — enter the Sell amount to see what you'll receive, or the Buy amount to see what it costs, calculated from the best route Aquarius finds. Review the estimate, then click Swap Assets.
Confirm the swap details. If everything looks good, click Confirm Swap You can also explore the liquidity pools used for the swap by clicking on their icons.
The swap is complete. To view transaction details, click View on Explorer.
Adjusting slippage tolerance
Slippage is the difference between the rate you're quoted and the rate you actually get — it appears when other trades move the pool between your quote and your transaction settling, and it's larger in low-liquidity markets. Your slippage tolerance caps how much of it you accept: if the final rate would be worse than your cap, the transaction fails instead of filling at a bad price.
Click the transaction settings button.
Select a pre-set slippage percentage (0.1%, 0.5%, or the default 1%) or enter a custom value of up to 10%. Tighter values suit stable pairs; wider values help swaps go through in volatile or thin markets, at the cost of a worse possible rate.
