# Cross-chain Swaps and Sends
Move assets across networks using Swap (bridge) or Send.
**How it works**\
Hinkal executes cross-chain transactions through a relayer using **LI.FI**.
* You select tokens and networks
* If networks differ → **Swap automatically becomes Bridge**
* The system routes the transaction across chains
* Fees and execution details are shown before confirmation
## Cross-chain swaps (Bridge)
Swap tokens across different networks.
### How it works
* Starts from **Swap**
* If selected tokens are on different networks:\
**Swap automatically switches to Bridge**
* The action button changes from **Swap → Bridge**
* Execution is handled via LI.FI
### Step-by-step
1. Open **Swap (Public account)**
2. Select token in **You Pay**
3. Select token in **You Receive**
4. If you change the **destination network**, the interface switches to **Bridge mode**
5. Enter amount (**25% / 50% / Max**)
6. Review:
* Provider
* Slippage
* Fees
7. Tap **Bridge**
{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Step 1. Click Swap from Public Accoun" %}
{% endtab %}
{% tab title="Step 2. Select token in You Pay" %}
{% endtab %}
{% tab title="Step 3. Select token in You Receive" %}
{% endtab %}
{% tab title="Step 4. Bridge" %}
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}
### What you can adjust
#### Provider
* Determines the route used for execution
* Different providers may return different output amounts
#### Slippage
* Maximum price change you accept before the transaction fails
## Cross-chain sends
Send tokens across networks directly to another wallet.
### How it works
* Available from:
* **Public account**
* You select token + enter recipient address
* Hinkal handles the cross-chain routing automatically
### Step-by-step
1. Open **Send**
2. Select token
3. Enter amount
4. Enter recipient address (or choose from contacts)
5. **Review fees**
6. Confirm and tap **Send**
{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Step 1. Tap send from public or private accounts" %}
{% endtab %}
{% tab title="Step 2. Select token and amount" %}
{% endtab %}
{% tab title="Step 3. Enter recipient address or select from contacts" %}
{% endtab %}
{% tab title="Step 4. Send" %}
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}
## Key ideas
* **Bridge is part of Swap**, not a separate feature
* It activates automatically when networks differ
