Swapping tokens within the same blockchain is fast and seamless in Plug. Whether you're exchanging ICP tokens or ERC-20 assets, Plug handles everything directly through integrated decentralized exchanges (DEXs).
Step-by-step: How to swap tokens
Tap the Swap button from the main menu
At the top of the screen, select the chain you want to swap on (e.g. ICP, Ethereum, Solana)
Choose the token you want to swap from, and the token you want to receive
Enter the amount to swap
Plug’s built-in aggregator will automatically select the best DEX provider, based on price and liquidity.
You can tap on the provider name to:
View quotes from other providers
Compare rates
Manually switch to a different DEX
Final Steps
Once you’re ready, hold the button to confirm the swap.
The tokens you’re swapping from will be automatically deducted
The tokens you’re receiving will be credited to your wallet as soon as the transaction completes
Swap times vary by chain (for example, swaps on ICP typically complete in under 20 seconds)
To view your completed swaps:
Tap History
Switch to the Swaps tab
Your transaction, route, and execution details will all be available there.
Understanding Slippage
Slippage is the difference between the price you see and the final price the swap executes at. This can happen if the token price moves before your transaction completes.
Plug sets the default slippage tolerance to 2%
To adjust this, tap the gear icon in the top right corner of the swap screen
If the final slippage exceeds your set tolerance, the swap will fail to protect your funds
