## Quick Overview

**Instant swaps** allow users to quickly exchange one asset for another using a simplified AMM-like interface. When a user swaps one asset for another, a market taker order is instantly executed in the Spin spot order book, and the exchanged token is immediately transferred to the user’s wallet.

Instant swaps through Spin’s order book are **\~3 times cheaper** than swaps on AMM DEXes and usually have more accurate pricing even if larger-size trades are executed.

## How to swap on Spin?

{% hint style="info" %}
If you don't yet have a NEAR wallet, please check the wallet creation instructions in the [Spot Trading section](https://docs.spin.fi/spot-trading#how-to-trade-on-spot).
{% endhint %}

Users, who want to exchange one asset for another without interacting with the order book can use the Instant Swaps feature.

1. Visit <https://trade.spin.fi/swap>.
2. Connect your wallet.
3. Choose the assets you want to exchange.
4. Optionally click on a gear icon and adjust the slippage settings. This parameter represents the possible range of the number of tokens you will receive. For example, if the slippage is set to 1%, the total number of tokens could be 1% lower than the initial amount shown.
5. Click on the *Swap* button and approve the transaction.
6. Funds will be automatically transferred to your wallet.

{% hint style="info" %}
The Instant Swaps feature interacts with the user’s wallet directly, without using the intermediary exchange account. Thus, assets held on the Spin account cannot be exchanged through Instant Swaps.
{% endhint %}

At the moment, users can swap any assets via USDC. For example, if the user wants to change NEAR to REF, it can be done within two steps: swapping NEAR for USDC and then swapping USDC for REF.

Shortly the Spin team will implement a feature for one-step swapping with advanced routing. That will allow users to exchange all assets listed on Spin in a single click.
