Swaps
It’s as easy as hitting the Swap button, either on Extension or Mobile.
A Swap may fail for various reasons, although the failure rate is low. The most common is when a transaction runs 'out of gas'. The 'out of gas' error occurs when all the gas that was allocated for the transaction is consumed before the Swap could complete. To prevent an 'out of gas' transaction failure, we recommend using the default Network Fee amount that is provided by CHIPTOSS wallet. When a Swap fails, some of the gas fees may be consumed by the network, but the asset you wished to swap from will remain in your CHIPTOSS wallet.
If a Swap fails, your funds will always be safe in your wallet. If your Swap fails more than once, please contact Support so we can investigate the underlying cause.
Behind the scenes, CHIPTOSS wallet Swaps automatically aggregates available liquidity from leading DEXs and Professional Market Makers. If you can't find a token, it likely lacks the sufficient amount of liquidity.
Slippage refers to the difference between the expected price of a trade and the price at which the trade is executed. Slippage is most prevalent with larger orders and during periods of higher volatility.
ERC-20 tokens are deployed with functionality that allows other smart contracts to move tokens. By approving the smart contracts, it now has permission to execute the peer to peer swapping behavior on your behalf. The Spend Limit permission is the total amount of tokens that are able to move when using CHIPTOSS wallet Swap. By default, we set the allowance to a high value, so you don't have to approve your tokens every time you want to Swap, but you can always configure a lower amount using a Custom Spend Limit.
A service fee of 0.875% is automatically factored into each quote to support ongoing development to make CHIPTOSS wallet even better.
