How to swap tokens on XAUConnect

Written by XAUConnect Labs · Reviewed against live product behavior · Updated 16 October 2026

How to swap tokens on XAUConnect: connect the wallet on the chain you mean to use, enter the amount, read the minimum you will receive, and sign.

The whole action is about a minute when the quote is fresh. If a minute passes, request a new quote. The old minimum is for a pool that has already moved.

EVM

Confirm the chain id in the wallet. If the token is an ERC-20 and the allowance is short, the wallet asks for an approval first. That is a separate transaction. Then confirm the swap. Gas is the native coin: ETH on Ethereum, Base, and Arbitrum, BNB on BNB Chain, POL on Polygon, AVAX on Avalanche.

Solana

Use a Solana wallet such as Phantom. There is no ERC-20 approval. The preview shows the balance changes. If simulation fails, cut the size or raise the priority fee and quote again. You cannot send an SPL token to a 0x address.

Before you raise the amount

Do one small swap and read the receipt on the explorer. Then increase size. If you are on Ethereum, leave ETH for gas. The chain notes are on Trade on Ethereum. On Solana, leave SOL and use Trade on Solana. An approval, if the wallet asks, is explained in what a token approval is.
