What is a swap? Think of it like a currency exchange at the airport — except instant and digital. You hand over one coin, and you immediately receive another. For example: turn your Bitcoin (BTC) into USDT, or swap USDT into Ethereum (ETH), all in one tap.

Open the Swap page

From the bottom navigation, tap Swap (the double-arrow icon). You'll land on the swap screen with two coin selectors.

Select the coin you're swapping FROM

Tap the top coin selector and pick the coin you already have in your wallet — this is the coin you'll be giving up. Your balance for each coin is shown next to it. Coins with the highest balance appear first.

Understand: Swap vs Withdraw — what's the difference?

New to crypto? Here's a quick comparison to help you decide which to use:

Swap (on Kynettic)

Convert coin A → coin B instantly within your wallet. Stays inside Kynettic. No blockchain wait. Best when you want to hold a different coin.

Withdraw (to another wallet)

Send your coin to an external wallet or exchange. Involves blockchain and network fees. Takes minutes. Best when you want to move funds out.

Confirm the swap

Review the full details — from coin, to coin, rate, amount received, and fee. When you're happy, tap Confirm Swap. You may be asked to enter your transaction PIN.
