Kryptos Swap & Bridge — User Guide

Updated today

What this feature is for

Swap and Bridge let you move and convert crypto without leaving Kryptos.

You use them when you want to:

  • Change one token into another

  • Move your assets to a different blockchain

  • Prepare funds for staking, DeFi, or lower fees on another network


1. Swap — Change one token to another

A swap converts one crypto asset into another without changing the blockchain.

Example: USDC → ETH on Ethereum

Your network stays Ethereum. Only the token changes.

Kryptos finds liquidity through protocols like LiFi and RocketX in the background.

When to use Swap

  • Converting stablecoins to other tokens

  • Entering or exiting a position

  • Rebalancing a portfolio

  • Getting a token needed for staking or DeFi
