How to use the Bitget Wallet swap? (In-app trading)

Accessing the Swap Feature

1. Open the Bitget Wallet application on your mobile device or desktop client.

2. Ensure your wallet is unlocked and you are logged into the correct network environment—Ethereum, BSC, Arbitrum, or another supported chain.

3. Tap the Swap icon located prominently on the home screen or within the navigation bar.

4. Confirm that the selected network matches the token standard you intend to trade—for example, ERC-20 tokens require Ethereum or compatible EVM chains.

Selecting Tokens and Amounts

1. Tap the input field labeled “From” to open the token selection menu and choose the asset you wish to exchange.

2. Tap the output field labeled “To” and search for or scroll through the list to select the desired receiving token.

3. Enter the amount you want to swap in the “From” field—the interface will instantly display the estimated output based on current liquidity and slippage settings.

4. The app displays real-time price impact, minimum received amount, and network fee before confirmation.

Adjusting Slippage and Advanced Options

1. Tap the gear icon or “Settings” button next to the swap panel to access slippage tolerance controls.

2. Choose between preset values—0.5%, 1%, or 5%—or manually enter a custom percentage depending on market volatility and token pair liquidity.

3. Enable “Expert Mode” if you need visibility into transaction details such as router address, path, and exact gas estimation.

4. Toggle “Limit Order” or “Smart Routing” if available in your region and version; these features optimize execution across multiple DEX aggregators.

Reviewing and Confirming the Transaction

1. Carefully verify all displayed fields: source token balance, destination token, slippage setting, network fee, and estimated time to confirmation.

2. Check the warning indicators—such as low liquidity, high price impact (>10%), or unsupported token contract—before proceeding.

3. Tap the Confirm Swap button to initiate signature request through your connected wallet.

4. Approve the transaction in your wallet extension or mobile signing prompt—this step requires your private key or biometric verification.

Tracking Swap Status and Handling Failures

1. After signing, the interface transitions to a status screen showing “Pending”, “Confirmed”, or “Failed”.

2. Use the transaction hash link to view full details on Etherscan, BscScan, or other relevant block explorers.

3. If the swap fails due to insufficient gas, price movement beyond slippage, or contract rejection, the app displays an error code and suggested resolution.

4. Refunded assets appear in your wallet balance automatically within seconds if the transaction reverts; no manual action is required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why does my swap show “Insufficient Liquidity”?A: This occurs when the selected token pair has minimal reserves on integrated decentralized exchanges—try switching networks or selecting alternative trading pairs.

Q: Can I cancel a pending swap transaction?A: No. Once signed and broadcast to the blockchain, transactions cannot be canceled—but they can be replaced with a higher gas fee using the same nonce.

Q: Is there a minimum amount required for swaps?A: Yes. Minimums vary by token and network—common thresholds range from $0.10 to $1.00 equivalent, enforced by router contracts and gas constraints.

Q: Do I need to approve tokens before every swap?A: Only once per token per network. Approval grants the router permission to spend your tokens; subsequent swaps use the same allowance until revoked.
