Easily swap tokens on H2 Finance with our user-friendly trade feature. Whether you're looking to customize swap settings, execute trades, or import external tokens, we've got the tools to help you manage your assets with ease.
We offer a range of settings to enhance your swapping experience. On the Swap page, click the gear icon in the top right corner of the swap widget to open the Settings menu.
Slippage refers to the difference between the expected price of a trade and the actual price paid on a decentralized exchange (DEX). This can happen due to market volatility or insufficient liquidity. Adjusting the slippage tolerance allows you to set a range within which you're comfortable with price variations. Generally, higher liquidity pools result in lower slippage.
In the settings menu, find the “Max Slippage” option under the “General” section. You can select a preset tolerance or customize it by entering a specific percentage in the “Custom” field.
Efficient swapping relies on liquidity providers (LPs) who contribute funds to create trading pairs. We support both Classic V2 and Flexible V3 liquidity pools.
Classic V2 Pools: Distribute liquidity evenly across all price points, which might lead to higher slippage in volatile markets.
Flexible V3 Pools: Allow LPs to concentrate liquidity within specific price ranges, often offering lower slippage and better capital efficiency.
In the settings, choose between Classic V2 or Flexible V3 as your liquidity source. The Swap V2 option is always on by default. Enabling Swap V3 gives you access to up to four fee tiers (0.01%, 0.05%, 0.3%, 1.0%). You can select any combination of these tiers, ensuring at least one is checked for maximum flexibility.
To optimize your trade, we offer routing preferences:
Allow Multihops: This setting enables your trade to traverse multiple liquidity pools, potentially finding better prices and lower slippage. However, multihop trades might result in higher gas fees due to additional transactions.
Split Routing: This option divides your trade into smaller orders executed across different liquidity pools simultaneously. This can help reduce slippage by taking advantage of price discrepancies between pools. While split routing may improve price execution, it also increases trade complexity and could lead to higher gas fees.
Balancing these options allows you to weigh the benefits of improved price execution against the associated costs and risks.
For direct swaps in V2 pools, a flat rate of 0.3% of the trade volume is charged.
For direct swaps in V3 pools, any of the fee tiers selected (0.01%, 0.05%, 0.3%, and 1.0%) of the trade volume is charged.
For swaps that go through a combination of V2 and V3 routes, the fees are calculated based on the fee tiers associated with each pool involved in the trade. This means that the total fee will be the sum of the fees charged by each individual pool.
