How to use MetaMask's Swap feature to get what you want

MetaMask Portfolio houses our flagship swapping mechanism. The Swap feature allows you to swap tokens directly by aggregating data from various decentralized exchanges (DEXs) and market makers to ensure you get competitive prices and low network fees.

Swaps is available across different networks to cater to everyone:

• Ethereum Mainnet
• Arbitrum
• Optimism
• BNB Chain
• Polygon
• Avalanche

Large Token Selection

Gathering data from a wide array of DEXs, Swaps grants you access to a large number of cryptocurrencies, including those that may not be available on centralized exchanges. This provides greater flexibility and choice when it comes to your investment decisions.

Unrivaled convenience

With MetaMask Portfolio’s friendly user interface, Swaps is undeniably convenient. You never have to leave MetaMask to execute your transaction through our vetted group of providers. Just select “Swap” in the menu to get started and it will only take a few clicks to complete. When everything is conducted in one place, you can manage your assets easily.

Time and cost-efficiency

Within MetaMask Portfolio, you can easily swap tokens with fewer approvals, slippage protection to guard against wild price swings, and the most gas-efficient route for each trade. Optimized to deliver an ideal experience, Swaps ensures you receive the best bang for your buck, or, the maximum value for your transaction.

Retaining control

Swaps puts you in control. By gathering data from decentralized exchange aggregators, market makers, and DEXs, you can swap one cryptocurrency token for another without needing a centralized exchange. Since MetaMask is a self-custodial wallet that grants you full ownership over your private key, you control your assets.
