Token Swaps

Token swapping is the foundation of DeFi trading, and DeTasker makes it as simple as describing what you want to achieve. Our AI-powered system finds the best prices across all Solana DEXs and executes your trades optimally.

🔄 How Token Swaps Work

Traditional DEX vs DeTasker

Traditional DEX Process:

1. Research which DEX has the best price

2. Navigate to the DEX website

3. Connect your wallet

4. Find the correct trading pair

5. Input amounts and adjust slippage

6. Review transaction details

7. Submit and confirm transaction

DeTasker Process:

1. Tell DeTasker what you want: "Swap 100 USDC for SOL"

2. AI finds best price across all DEXs automatically

3. Review and confirm the optimized transaction

Behind the Scenes Magic

When you request a swap, DeTasker:

• Scans all major DEXs (Jupiter, Raydium, Orca, Serum)

• Calculates optimal routing through multiple pools if beneficial

• Estimates price impact and suggests slippage settings

• Checks for MEV protection to prevent front-running

• Simulates the transaction to ensure success before execution

💱 Basic Swap Commands

Simple Swap Formats

"Swap 100 USDC for SOL"
"Trade 5 SOL for USDC"
"Convert 50 RAY to USDC"
"Exchange 1000 USDC for SOL"
"Buy SOL with 100 USDC"

Percentage-Based Swaps

"Swap 50% of my USDC for SOL"
"Trade 25% of my SOL balance for USDC"
"Convert all my RAY tokens to SOL"
"Sell half my SOL for stablecoins"

Dollar-Amount Swaps

"Swap $500 worth of USDC for SOL"
"Buy $1000 worth of SOL"
"Convert $250 of my SOL to USDC"
"Trade $100 worth of tokens to USDC"

🎯 Advanced Swap Features

Slippage Control

"Swap 100 USDC for SOL with 0.5% slippage"
"Trade SOL for USDC with maximum 1% slippage"
"Convert tokens with tight slippage tolerance"
"Use aggressive slippage for faster execution"

Understanding Slippage:

• 0.1-0.5%: Very low slippage, best for stable pairs and small amounts

• 0.5-1.0%: Standard slippage, good for most trades

• 1.0-3.0%: Higher slippage, useful for volatile tokens or large trades

• 3.0%+: High slippage, only for very volatile or low-liquidity tokens

Route Optimization

"Find the best price to swap 1000 USDC for SOL"
"What's the cheapest way to convert SOL to USDC?"
"Show me all available routes for this swap"
"Use the fastest execution route"
"Prioritize lowest fees over speed"

Route Types:

• Direct Route: Single DEX, single pool (fastest)

• Split Route: Multiple DEXs for better pricing

• Multi-hop Route: Through intermediate tokens for optimal price

Timing and Conditions

"Swap USDC for SOL when SOL drops below $80"
"Trade my SOL for USDC if it rises above $120"
"Execute swap only if slippage is under 0.5%"
"Swap tokens at the next market dip"

🚀 Swap Strategies

Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA)

"Set up weekly $100 SOL purchases"
"Buy SOL with $50 every Monday for 12 weeks"
"DCA into top 3 Solana tokens over 2 months"
"Gradually swap 1000 USDC to SOL over 4 weeks"

Benefits of DCA:

• Reduces impact of price volatility

• Eliminates need to time the market

• Builds positions gradually

• Reduces emotional trading decisions

Portfolio Rebalancing

"Rebalance to 60% SOL, 40% USDC"
"Adjust my portfolio to target allocation"
"Rebalance monthly to maintain 50-50 SOL-USDC"
"Return to baseline allocation after gains"

Profit Taking Strategies

"Take 25% profits when SOL rises 50%"
"Sell half my SOL if it doubles"
"Take profits in increments as price rises"
"Automatically book gains at resistance levels"

Risk Management Swaps

"Move to stablecoins if portfolio drops 20%"
"Emergency exit all positions to USDC"
"Reduce risk exposure during market volatility"
"Swap volatile tokens for stable assets"

🛡️ Safety and Risk Management

Pre-Swap Checks

DeTasker automatically verifies:

• Sufficient Balance: Ensures you have enough tokens

• Reasonable Slippage: Warns about high slippage trades

• Token Legitimacy: Checks for scam or rug pull tokens

• Liquidity Adequacy: Confirms sufficient DEX liquidity

Risk Warnings

High-Risk Scenarios:

⚠️ High Slippage Warning
This swap may experience 5.2% slippage due to:
- Large trade size relative to liquidity
- Volatile market conditions
- Limited liquidity pools

Recommendations:
- Split into smaller trades
- Wait for better market conditions
- Use limit orders instead

Continue? [Yes] [Modify] [Cancel]

Suspicious Token Alert:

🚨 Token Risk Alert
NEWTOKEN shows warning signs:
- Created less than 24 hours ago
- No verified audit
- Unusual trading patterns
- Very low liquidity

Proceed with extreme caution or avoid.

Best Practices

For Large Swaps:

• Start with a small test transaction

• Consider splitting into multiple smaller swaps

• Monitor market conditions before executing

• Use limit orders for very large amounts

For New Tokens:

• Research the token thoroughly

• Start with very small amounts

• Check audit reports and team credibility

• Be aware of potential rug pull risks

During High Volatility:

• Increase slippage tolerance

• Expect slower execution times

• Consider waiting for calmer markets

• Use smaller position sizes

📈 Optimizing Swap Performance

Timing Your Swaps

Best Times to Trade:

• High Volume Hours: UTC 12:00-20:00 (overlap of US and EU markets)

• Stable Market Conditions: Avoid major news events

• Good Network Conditions: Low Solana network congestion

Avoiding Bad Timing:

• Major market news or events

• Network congestion periods

• Low liquidity weekend hours

• High volatility after announcements

Fee Optimization

Minimizing Costs:

"Find the lowest fee route for my swap"
"Optimize for minimal total cost"
"Show me fee comparison across DEXs"
"What's the most cost-effective way to trade?"

Understanding Fee Structure:

• Platform Fee: 0.1% of trade value (DeTasker service fee)

• DEX Fees: 0.25-0.30% on most pools

• Network Fees: ~$0.001-0.01 per transaction

• Price Impact: Varies based on trade size and liquidity

Multi-Token Swaps

Complex Swapping Scenarios:

"Swap equal amounts to create 33% SOL, 33% RAY, 33% USDC portfolio"
"Convert all my altcoins to SOL and USDC"
"Rebalance multiple positions simultaneously"
"Swap my farming rewards back to base tokens"

🔧 Troubleshooting Common Issues

Transaction Failures

Insufficient Balance:

Error: Insufficient USDC balance
Available: 95.00 USDC
Required: 100.00 USDC + fees

Solutions:
- Reduce swap amount to 95 USDC
- Add more USDC to wallet
- Use percentage-based swap (90% of USDC)

High Slippage Rejection:

Transaction failed: Slippage exceeded tolerance
Expected: 1.220 SOL
Actual: 1.198 SOL (1.8% slippage)
Your limit: 1.0%

Solutions:
- Increase slippage tolerance
- Try smaller trade size
- Wait for better market conditions

Performance Issues

Slow Execution:

• Network congestion affecting all transactions

• Large trade size requiring complex routing

• High market volatility causing delays

Unexpected Results:

• Market moved significantly during execution

• MEV bot activity affecting prices

• Liquidity changes between quote and execution
