How to Use the MetaMask Wallet Swap Feature

MetaMask, a product of Ethereum software company ConsenSys, has recently launched the swap functionality for its users.

This feature allows the wallet’s users to swap different cryptocurrency assets directly through the MetaMask interface. The swap feature will be released first for the Firefox browser extension. The platform is also planning to embed this feature shortly for other browser extensions and MetaMask mobile.

To provide the best exchange rate along with the lowest network fees, the platform combines multiple decentralized exchange aggregators, professional market makers, and individual DEXs like Uniswap, AirSwap, 0x API, 1inch exchange, Paraswap, Totle, and dex.ag. Now users can easily see the best available price without navigating these decentralized liquidity sources.
