Overview
Token swapping on Katana allows you to trade one cryptocurrency for another. This process involves exchanging your current tokens for an equivalent value of desired tokens, minus swap fees that reward liquidity providers (LPs).
Key Methods for Swapping
- Ronin Web App: Use the Swap page.
- Ronin Wallet: Access Wallet Swap via the mobile app or browser extension.
Both methods follow similar steps but differ slightly in interface.
Understanding Swap Fees
Swap fees vary between Katana V2 and V3 liquidity pools, applied per pool in the transaction path. Fees are always paid in the input token.
Fee Structures
Katana V2 Pools
| Fee Amount | Breakdown |
|------------|-----------|
| 0.3% | 0.25% LP fee + 0.05% Ronin Treasury fee |
Katana V3 Pools
| Fee Tier | Breakdown | Use Case |
|----------|-----------|----------|
| 0.01% | 0.005% LP fee + 0.005% Treasury fee | Stablecoin pairs |
| 0.3% | 0.25% LP fee + 0.05% Treasury fee | Standard pairs |
| 1% | 0.85% LP fee + 0.15% Treasury fee | High-volatility pairs |
