Convert

Swap between assets you already hold — without opening a trade page, without a contract address. Use this when you bought the wrong asset on the onramp, or want to park a position in USDC before re-entering.

Where to find it

Header → Deposit → Convert tab.

The Convert tab sits alongside Deposit, Withdraw, and Buy in the same modal.

What it does

A simple two-sided swap:

  1. Pick the asset you're swapping from (e.g., SOL)
  2. Pick the asset you're swapping to (e.g., USDC)
  3. Enter the amount
  4. Confirm

The swap executes against Solana DEX liquidity, using the same routing backbone as a normal trade. You'll see the quote, price impact, and the amount you'll receive before you confirm.

Supported pairs

Convert is primarily for utility swaps on Solana:

  • SOL ↔ USDC
  • SOL ↔ USDT
  • USDC ↔ USDT
  • Plus common large-cap Solana assets

If the pair you want isn't in Convert, open the token's trade page and swap there — the full spot flow supports any tradeable token on Solana.

When to use Convert vs. Trade

SituationUse
"I bought USDC on the ramp, need SOL to trade"Convert
"I want to exit to stables before tonight"Convert (SOL → USDC)
"I want to buy a specific memecoin"Trade page — Your first trade
"I want a limit order"Trade page (Convert is market-only)

Convert is market-only and meant for known stable-ish pairs. For memecoin trading with slippage / priority fee control, use the trade page.

Fees

  • Platform fee — same Interstate trading fee as a normal swap. See Fees.
  • DEX fee — paid to the underlying pool (built into the quote).
  • Network fee — Solana priority fee, small.

No flat "convert" fee. The quote shown is what you get.

Slippage and priority fee

Convert uses sensible defaults for stable-ish pairs. For very large amounts, price impact may exceed defaults — the quote shows expected impact before you confirm. If it's too high, split into smaller swaps or use the trade page with custom slippage.

MEV protection

Same caveat as normal trading: MEV protection only applies to imported local wallets. Turnkey wallets (the default for email / Google signup) route through standard RPC regardless of setting. See MEV protection.

For large stable-pair conversions where a sandwich is possible, import a local wallet first. See Wallet import & export.

Multi-wallet

Convert operates on the currently selected wallet in the header switcher. To convert from a different wallet, switch first. See Managing multiple wallets.

Monad

Convert is Solana-side. To swap on Monad, use the trade page for any Monad token — the same buy/sell flow lets you swap from MON into any Monad ERC-20. See Trading on Monad.
