Follow this beginner-friendly guide to learn how to securely and efficiently swap tokens using Raydium, the leading Solana-based decentralized exchange (DEX).
Visit the official Raydium website and click on “Connect Wallet.” You can use Phantom, Solflare, or any other Solana-compatible wallet. Ensure you’re connected to the correct network (Solana Mainnet).
Always verify the website URL to avoid phishing scams. The official domain is raydium.io.
Once your wallet is connected, select the token you want to swap from and the token you want to receive. Raydium supports a wide range of Solana-based SPL tokens.
Use the search bar to quickly find the token pair you need — Raydium’s liquidity pools ensure fast and reliable trading.
Before swapping, carefully check the exchange rate, slippage tolerance, and transaction fees. Raydium offers transparent pricing and displays all swap details upfront.
Click “Swap” to initiate the transaction. Your wallet will prompt you to approve it. Once confirmed, your tokens will appear in your wallet within seconds.
Keep a small amount of SOL in your wallet for transaction fees — typically a few cents per swap.
