# Swaps

## 🔄 Swaps

Swap any asset across any supported chain — Bitcoin ↔ Starknet, Bitcoin ↔ Spark, Starknet ↔ Starknet, Runes ↔ BTC, and more. The CLI routes through integrated DEXes including AVNU (Starknet), Flashnet (Spark), Dotswap, and Sats Terminal (Runes).

### Token format

Tokens are specified as `protocol:ticker` or `protocol:contract.name`:

| Token         | Example                                                       |
| ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Bitcoin BTC   | `bitcoin:BTC`                                                 |
| Spark BTC     | `spark:BTC`                                                   |
| Rune (by ID)  | `runes:840000:3`                                              |
| Starknet WBTC | `starknet:WBTC`                                               |
| Starknet STRK | `starknet:STRK`                                               |
| Starknet USDC | `starknet:USDC`                                               |
| Stacks STX    | `stacks:STX`                                                  |
| Stacks sBTC   | `stacks:SM3VDXK3WZZSA84XXFKAFAF15NNZX32CTSG82JFQ4.sbtc-token` |

# Execute (auto-selects best quote)
xverse-wallet swap execute --from bitcoin:BTC --to starknet:WBTC --amount 0.01 --yes --json
```

#### Options

| Option              | Description                          |
| ------------------- | ------------------------------------ |
| `--from <token>`    | Source token (required)              |

| `--yes`             | Execute (omit for dry run)           |

### Common swap routes

#### Same-chain (instant, seconds)

```bash
# Starknet ↔ Starknet
swap quote --from starknet:STRK --to starknet:WBTC --amount 100 --json
swap quote --from starknet:USDC --to starknet:WBTC --amount 100 --json

# Spark ↔ Spark
swap quote --from spark:BTC --to spark:USDB --amount 0.001 --json
```

#### Cross-chain (minutes — involves BTC L1 confirmations)

```bash
# Bitcoin ↔ Starknet
swap quote --from bitcoin:BTC --to starknet:WBTC --amount 0.005 --json
swap quote --from starknet:WBTC --to bitcoin:BTC --amount 0.005 --json

# Bitcoin ↔ Stacks
swap quote --from bitcoin:BTC --to stacks:STX --amount 0.01 --json

# Bitcoin ↔ Spark
swap quote --from bitcoin:BTC --to spark:BTC --amount 0.001 --json

# Runes ↔ BTC
swap quote --from runes:840000:3 --to bitcoin:BTC --amount 1000 --json
```

> **Tip:** Prefer same-chain swaps when possible — they settle in seconds. Cross-chain routes involving Bitcoin L1 require block confirmations (\~10-30 minutes).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.xverse.app/xverse-agentic-wallet/capabilities/swaps.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
