The Aries Swap product is built upon our Aries Lend, which means that funds that are deposited into Aries can also be used to swap and trade on various AMM markets.
Aries Swap ensures that users swap tokens on Automated Market Maker (AMM) pools with the most liquidity and the best rates.
To swap your tokens:
Select the asset you would like to swap away and input the amount
Select the asset you want to swap to below
The available swap routes will be displayed on the right side of the page, and the route with best price will be selected automatically
Check the slippage, price impact and minimal amount of the desired token before the final transaction
Click "Swap" and approve the transaction on your pop-up wallet
The assets swapped will appear in your connected wallet balances and the borrowed section on the lending page
Users can also utilize Aries Swap to gain leveraged exposure on assets through swapping. It relies on Aries Lend’s feature of a shared margin account. This means that you can swap assets that you do not yet hold, but are available on Aries Lend.
