1. Navigate to Swap using the tabs at the of the app, then connect [your wallet](https://makiso.gitbook.io/maki/getting-started/spl-wallet).
2. Next, select from the drop-down the tokens you want to swap. For this example, we'll be swapping **From** SOL **To** USDC.&#x20;

3. Enter the amount of tokens you wish to swap. Finally, click Swap!&#x20;
4. Shortly after the transaction is confirmed you should be able to see your new balance, although this can sometimes take a few seconds to refresh.&#x20;

&#x20;      You have now done your first swap on Maki. Now let's get swapping!

{% hint style="warning" %}
Pay close attention to Price Impact and remember to check 'Minimum Received' when executing large swaps or when swapping in a low liquidity pool.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

**Minimum Received** is the least amount of tokens a user will receive on a trade.&#x20;

**Price Impact** is the difference between the market price and the estimated execution price based on the size of the trade.&#x20;

**Slippage Tolerance** is the maximum difference between a user's estimated price and execution price. You can access this parameter both by clicking "settings" on the navigation tab and "more information" on the swap interface.
