Token swapping lets you exchange one token for another directly on Shiga, across supported EVM networks. Swaps are fast, secure, and cost-efficient.
Key features
Multi-chain support — swap across Ethereum, Optimism, Base, and other supported networks.
Verification — secured with a one-time code via your authenticator app or email.
Real-time rates — dynamic, competitive pricing.
Gas fee optimization — smart estimation for cost-effective transactions.
Transaction tracking — real-time progress from start to finish.
Step-by-step
Open the Swap section after logging in to your Shiga account.
Select your source token (From): choose the token to swap (for example, USDT) and enter an amount, or click MAX to use your full balance.
Select your destination token (To): choose the token you want to receive.
(Optional) Send to another address: enable this if you're swapping to a different wallet.
Review the exchange rate and estimated fees before continuing. Note that cross-chain swaps may require bridging.
Authenticate: enter the 6-digit code sent to your email or authenticator app, then click Approve.
Tracking a cross-chain swap
For swaps that bridge between networks (for example, USDT on Base → USDT on Optimism), you'll see the progress move through these stages:
Confirmed in wallet (initial approval)
Confirmed on source chain (processing)
Bridged (moving across networks)
Sent to destination chain (finalizing)
Completed — funds arrive in your wallet
Once complete, the swapped amount is displayed, and you can click View On-chain to verify the transaction on a block explorer, or swap again instantly.
