# Swap

Swap tokens within the same network.

### How it works

Hinkal automatically:

* Finds the best route across liquidity providers through an aggregator - LI.FI on EVM chains, LI.FI and OKX on Solana
* 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) - LI.FI, OKX.

### Choosing a provider

Hinkal selects the best provider automatically. Only providers that returned a quote for the selected pair are listed:

* EVM chains - LI.FI only
* Solana, Public account - LI.FI and OKX, whichever quotes better
* Solana, Private balance - OKX only

You can override it manually.

#### Step-by-step

1. Tap **Provider**
2. Select a provider:
   * LI.FI (EVM chains and Solana)
   * OKX (Solana)
3. Review updated quote

### Adjust slippage

Slippage controls acceptable price movement.

#### Step-by-step

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

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