Here is how to exchange tokens on Talken Swap.
1

Select Tokens

Choose the token to exchange (From) and the token to receive (To). You can swap tokens on the same chain or select tokens on different chains for a cross-chain swap.Examples:
  • ETH on Ethereum to USDT on Ethereum (same chain)
  • USDT on Ethereum to JPYC on Polygon (cross-chain)
  • KAIA on Kaia to ETH on Arbitrum (cross-chain)
2

Enter Amount and Review Quote

Enter the amount to exchange, and Talken Swap queries multiple DEXs simultaneously to find the optimal route. The following information is displayed:
  • Estimated Receive Amount: The number of tokens you will receive after the swap
  • Exchange Rate: The conversion rate between the two tokens
  • Route: Which DEX handles the trade (e.g., Uniswap V3, Curve, etc.)
  • Estimated Fees: Total of DEX fees, gas fees, and bridge fees (for cross-chain)
If multiple routes are available, the most favorable one is selected by default. You can also choose a different route.

Execute Swap

After confirming the route and fees, execute the swap. Your wallet will request a transaction signature. Once approved, the swap proceeds.
  • Same-chain swap: Completes within seconds.
  • Cross-chain swap: After the transaction is confirmed on the source chain, tokens are transferred to the destination chain via a bridge. This typically takes a few minutes.

Confirm Completion

Once the swap completes, the tokens appear in your wallet. You can check the transaction details in the transaction history. For cross-chain transactions, the progress of each step is shown: source chain, bridge, and destination chain.

​
Gasless Mode

If you do not hold native tokens (ETH, KAIA, etc.) to pay gas fees, you can enable gasless mode and pay fees in USDT, USDC, or TALK instead. In this case, a relayer submits the transaction on your behalf, and you only need to sign.

​
What Talken Swap Is Not

  • Not a DEX. Talken Swap does not operate its own liquidity pools. It is an aggregator that queries existing DEXs such as Curve, Uniswap, and PancakeSwap to find the optimal route.
  • Not a bridge. For cross-chain transactions, Talken Swap uses verified external bridge protocols such as Circle CCTP and LayerZero. Talken Swap does not relay cross-chain messages itself.
  • Not a custodian. Talken Swap does not hold user assets. Every transaction requires a wallet signature from the user. Transactions execute through smart contracts, and Talken cannot access user assets.
