Hey everyone, Keenan here from the Helium Foundation again. Today's feature I wanted to talk about is the swap feature of the Helium Wallet App. So as you can see I've got my Solana Saga loaded here with the Helium app loaded.

0:13 - 0:27
And today we're going to do some swaps. So just a couple of quick notes before we move forward. So if my app looks a little bit different than yours, just make sure you go into the App Store or Google Play Store and make sure that you're refreshing there and seeing if there's an update for your app.

0:28 - 0:42
The second thing I wanted to mention is you need some $SOL in your wallet to perform any functions. That is the "gas" that makes things happen. To use that term incorrectly. But have a bit of SOL in there.

0:43 - 0:55
That's what things we'll use to operate. So today we're going to swap some tokens. So you'll see on the load of the app either this screen or it'll look like this. You have these three buttons deposit, swap and send.

0:56 - 1:12
So today we're going to click swap. And we're going to swap, let's say some $MOBILE for $HNT. All right, and conveniently that's what's loaded here. However, this is the input, the output. And if you want to change that, you would select what you would like to pay.

1:12 - 1:33
You can choose any of these tokens. So if you wanted to convert $IOT to $HNT, that's how you would do so. If you would like to convert $HNT to $IOT, that'll populate down here. Or $MOBILE or $SOL. Okay, so today we're going to pay mobile and we're going to receive $HNT.

1:34 - 1:45
So for the amount, we're going to click where it says zero mobile here, click in that little box and it'll pop up. It'll tell me my available balance right here. And we can input how much $MOBILE we want to swap.

1:46 - 1:58
You'll also see a max button up here. Anytime you go to swap a token, if you want to swap all of them, you can conveniently select that. It'll populate all of the tokens in your wallet and they'll be swapped to whichever currency you chose.

1:59 - 2:11
Okay, but today we're not going to do that. So we're just going to delete back to zero. And today, let's say we're going to do 1000 $MOBILE. Okay, so we're going to click 1000. We're going to click confirm.

2:12 - 2:27
And what's going to happen here is going to say, okay, you're paying 1000 $MOBILE. And for that 1000 $MOBILE, you will receive 0.3804293 HNT. So if that works for you, you're going to click swap tokens.

2:28 - 2:44
What's going to pop up here is the estimated changes. So this says we are sending in red 1000 MOBILE and receiving in green 0.38044841 HNT. This will be the network fees. If you're okay with that, you're going to click approve.

2:45 - 3:01
And that's going to say swapping tokens. So there we have it. Tokens are swapped. So we're going to click return to swaps. This brings us back to our main page. And you'll see the balance has decreased from mobile and increased for HNT.

3:02 - 3:17
And it's as simple as that. If you want to swap any other tokens, say in process, click swap, select a token, and that's how you do it. A second option is to click the globe icon down here at the bottom right.

3:18 - 3:31
You can click this link right here that says jup.ag. You're going to connect your wallet. And if that doesn't pop up, there's a little icon at the top right here that'll say connect. You're going to click that, click helium, it'll connect you.

3:32 - 3:52
And you're able to do the same thing here. So you're paying and you're receiving. So you can pay $HNT and receive $SOL or you can pay $HNT and receive a multitude of tokens. So $BONK, USDT, dog with hat, if you so choose to.

3:53 - 4:00
This is an extended option for swapping. So those are two methods of swapping. And it's as easy as that. If you have any questions, reach out anytime. All right, have a good one.
