Swap

Trading one token for another via a DEX pool or aggregator route — the atomic unit of DeFi trading.

A swap is a single atomic trade: input token X, output token Y, priced by pool state or aggregator route. Failures roll back cleanly with no partial execution.

On Solana, swaps typically confirm in under a second. High priority fee and MEV-protected RPCs improve landing rate during congestion.
