Swap

The Swap page exchanges one token for another, powered by Circle’s App Kit. You pick the chain and the two tokens, and App Kit finds a route.

The quote

As you type an amount, Confluence fetches an estimate showing:

• what you’ll receive,
• the minimum received, the least you’ll get after allowing for price movement,
• and the fees involved.

Slippage

Prices can move between the moment you see a quote and the moment your swap is processed. Slippage is how much movement you’ll accept. You can choose 0.5%, 1% or 3%; Confluence uses 1% by default.

If the price moves beyond your slippage before the swap goes through, it doesn’t complete at a worse price. Lower slippage protects you more but may fail more often in fast markets; higher slippage fails less often but accepts a worse worst case.

Approvals

The first time you swap a particular token, your wallet may ask you to approve it before confirming the swap itself. That approval lets the swap move exactly that token on your behalf.
