# Swap

The [**Swap**](https://aqua.network/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

1. **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.

2. **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**.

3. **Confirm** the swap details. Select **Confirm Swap** to submit. You can inspect the route's **liquidity pools** by selecting their icons.

#### 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.

1. Click the **transaction settings** button.
2. 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.
3. Once satisfied, click **Save**.
