Swaps

Quote a swap, build the transaction, and send it through the connected wallet.

How it works

The SwapManager routes each quote and build call to a single registered swap provider — by default the first one you registered, or the one you pass as providerId. setDefaultProvider on the manager overrides the default; an unknown providerId throws. A quote is the chosen provider's current offer for a route — input asset, output asset, amount, fees, and execution assumptions — and useBuildSwapTransaction turns an accepted quote into a TransactionRequest. AppKit does not price markets itself; the provider does.

The quote is provider-supplied data and can expire. Refresh it close to the moment the user confirms, and treat the displayed toAmount as an estimate, not a guarantee. The wallet still owns approval, signing, and rejection on the final send.

Before you begin

You need a connected wallet and at least one swap provider registered on the AppKit instance. Omniston and DeDust ship bundled — see Providers → How they are registered.

Hooks

Hook	Purpose
`useSwapQuote`	Fetch a swap quote.
`useBuildSwapTransaction`	Build a `TransactionRequest` from a quote.

useSwapQuote is a query hook ({ data, isLoading, isError, refetch }); useBuildSwapTransaction is a mutation hook ({ mutate, mutateAsync, isPending, error }). Pass the built TransactionRequest to <Send /> from @ton/appkit-react, which exposes loading/error state.

Quote a swap

useSwapQuote takes the asset pair and amount and returns the provider's current offer. Pass network, slippageBps, and an optional providerId to pin a specific provider.

import { useNetwork, useSwapQuote } from '@ton/appkit-react';

const TON = { address: 'ton', decimals: 9, symbol: 'TON' };
const USDT = {
  address: 'EQCxE6mUtQJKFnGfaROTKOt1lZbDiiX1kCixRv7Nw2Id_sDs',
  decimals: 6,
  symbol: 'USDT',
};

export function SwapPreview({ amount }: { amount: string }) {
  const network = useNetwork();
  const { data: quote, isLoading, isError } = useSwapQuote({
    amount,
    from: USDT,
    to: TON,
    network,
    slippageBps: 100,
  });

  if (isLoading) return <span>Fetching quote…</span>;
  if (isError || !quote) return <span>Swap unavailable</span>;

  return (
    <span>
      {quote.fromAmount} {USDT.symbol} → {quote.toAmount} {TON.symbol}
    </span>
  );
}

Build and send the transaction

useBuildSwapTransaction is the mutation that turns an accepted quote into a TransactionRequest. Wrap it in a request callback and hand it to <Send />; the component exposes loading/error state.

import { Send, useAddress, useBuildSwapTransaction } from '@ton/appkit-react';
import type { SwapQuote } from '@ton/appkit';

export function SwapSendButton({ quote }: { quote: SwapQuote | undefined }) {
  const address = useAddress();
  const { mutateAsync: buildSwapTransaction } = useBuildSwapTransaction();

  const request = async () => {
    if (!quote || !address) {
      throw new Error('Missing quote or address');
    }
    return buildSwapTransaction({ quote, userAddress: address });
  };

  return (
    <Send
      request={request}
      disabled={!quote || !address}
      text="Swap"
      onSuccess={({ boc }) => console.log('sent', boc)}
    />
  );
}

After the send

After the send completes, pass the response to getTransactionStatus to confirm settlement before updating balances, orders, or inventory. The response carries either a boc or a normalizedHash; pass whichever is set.

Tips

Refresh a quote before building if the user paused on the confirmation screen — the route can move while the modal is open.
Provider responses are external data; treat toAmount as an estimate, not a guarantee.
minReceived is the slippage-protected lower bound on the output after slippageBps is applied. Compare against your product floor before letting the user sign.
Slippage protection is provider-specific. slippageBps caps price drift; pass provider-specific fields through providerOptions when a provider needs more.
