How To Swap

Swapping on Lithos works like any other AMM, but runs on Plasma for faster and cheaper transactions.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Connect Wallet

• Open the Lithos app and connect a supported wallet.
• Ensure your wallet is connected to the Plasma network.

2. Select Tokens

• Choose the token you want to swap from the “From” field.
• Choose the token you want to receive in the “To” field.
• If you cannot find your token, make sure it is whitelisted (see Token Whitelisting).

3. Enter Amount

• Type the amount of the token you want to swap.
• The interface will automatically calculate how much of the other token you will receive, including fees.

4. Review Pricing

• Check the exchange rate, slippage tolerance, and fees.
• Lithos routes trades through the most efficient pools, ensuring you get the best available price.

5. Confirm Swap

• Click Swap and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
• Once confirmed on-chain, your new tokens will appear in your wallet balance.

Things to Know

• Stable pools are best for pairs like USDT/USDC, where prices don’t move much.
• Volatile pools are for pairs like LITH/XPL, where price discovery happens.
• Fees depend on the pool type. Stable pairs usually have lower fees, volatile pairs higher.
• USDT swaps don’t require gas on Plasma.
