# Swapping

### How it works

Hinkal automatically:

* Finds the best route across liquidity providers (Uniswap, Odos, 1inch)
* Executes the transaction via the relayer (Private) or directly (Public)

### Private vs Public

You can switch between **Private** and **Public** balances from the top of the screen.

* **Private**
  * Swap with privacy protection
  * Activity is not visible on-chain
* **Public**
  * Standard on-chain swap

### Swap tokens

#### Step-by-step

1. Select **Private** or **Public and** Tap **Swap**
2. In **You Pay**, select a token
3. Enter the amount
   * Use **25% / 50% / Max**
4. In **You Receive**, select a token

(Optional) Pick a [**Gas Token**](/hinkal/hinkal-wallet/getting-started/gas-tokens.md) - ETH, USDC, USDT, DAI.

(Optional) Change [**Provider**](#choosing-a-provider) — Uniswap, Odos, 1Inch.

### Adjust slippage

Slippage controls acceptable price movement.

2. Choose:
   * **Auto**
   * Presets (0.5% / 1%)
   * **Custom**
3. Tap **Save**

> Tip: Values below 0.5 % often cause failed transactions, especially on volatile pairs.
