Swapping crypto on Raydium using your Phantom Wallet is a simple process. Here's a step-by-step guide:
Steps to Swap Crypto on Raydium with Phantom Wallet
1. Connect Your Phantom Wallet
- Go to Raydium.io.
- Click "Connect Wallet" in the top-right corner.
- Select Phantom Wallet from the list.
- Approve the connection in your Phantom Wallet pop-up.
2. Select Tokens to Swap
- In the swap interface, choose the input token (the one you're selling) and the output token (the one you're buying).
- You can search for tokens by name or paste their contract address.
3. Enter Swap Amount
- Input the amount you want to swap.
- Raydium will automatically show the estimated output amount and price impact.
4. Review & Confirm Swap
- Check the exchange rate, fees, and slippage tolerance (default is 0.5%, adjust if needed).
- Click "Swap".
- Approve the transaction in your Phantom Wallet (may require two approvals: one for token access and one for the swap).
5. Wait for Confirmation
- The transaction will be processed on the Solana blockchain.
- Once confirmed, the swapped tokens will appear in your Phantom Wallet.
Troubleshooting Tips
- "Insufficient SOL for Fees" → Ensure you have at least 0.01-0.02 SOL for transaction fees.
- Token Not Showing? → Manually add the token contract address in Raydium.
- Transaction Stuck? → Increase slippage (try 1-2%) or check Solana network status.
