# 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                          |
| ------------------- | ------------------------------------ |

| `--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).

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

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

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
