Currently, you can only swap on the Status desktop app.
By swapping, you exchange one asset for another, often for investment purposes, to obtain specific tokens or to access a community with particular token requirements. For example, you can swap ETH for SNT to join a Status Community that requires you to hold SNT.
In Status Wallet, you can swap ERC-20 assets on Ethereum Mainnet, Arbitrum and Optimism blockchains.
You can only swap assets (virtual coins), not collectibles (NFTs).
You can set the maximum slippage to accept when swapping. If the slippage is set too low, the transaction may fail.
You need to pay a swap fee, which is automatically deducted from the amount you're swapping. You pay the fee to the blockchain that hosts your assets and the swap service, not Status. For more details, check out About swap and bridge fees.
Slippage is the difference between the expected price of the swap and the actual price at which it is executed. It defines how much price movement you accept before the swap fails.
