**Swap Tutorial**

Swapping tokens typically refers to exchanging one cryptocurrency or token for another on a blockchain-based decentralized exchange (DEX). One of the most popular DEXs is Physica Finance, which operates on the Planq blockchain. Here's a step-by-step tutorial on how to swap tokens using Physica Finance as an example

**Note**: This tutorial assumes that you already have a cryptocurrency wallet (e.g., [MetaMask](https://metamask.io/)) set up and funded with the tokens you want to swap.

1. **Access Physica Finance Dapps**:

* For this example, let's say you want to swap **Planq** for USDC. Select **Planq** in the "From" dropdown and USDC on any token in list in the "To" dropdown.

4. Enter the amount you would like to swap, receive, or select the “Max” option.\
   \
   The “Max” option automatically inputs the total amount of the token you have available in your wallet for swapping.

* Select “Swap”.
* Review the swap details, and then select “Confirm Swap”.

5. &#x20;your wallet, approve spending for the token you are swapping.

This will require a network cost. If this is your first time swapping the token with the Uniswap protocol, then you’ll need to approve the token in order to trade it.

\
6\. In your wallet, confirm the swap. This transaction requires network costs.
