Swap
An exchange of one asset for another, often executed through a blockchain trading protocol.
In more detail
A swap can use one pool or take a route through several. The quote is based on conditions when it's calculated, while execution happens later. Contracts can enforce limits such as a minimum output, so an unfavorable price move may make the transaction fail rather than complete at a price you didn't accept.
How you might use it
You swap one token for another and check the minimum received, route and contract request before confirming in your wallet.
