A crypto swap exchanges one token for another directly from your wallet. Step Exchange compares routes across decentralized exchanges and bridges, so you can swap on one network (ETH to USDT on Ethereum) or across networks (USDT on Tron to ETH on Arbitrum) in a single flow. You stay in control of your funds throughout.
Why Swap on Step Exchange
Fast, well-priced, and you never hand over your coins. Step Exchange asks a routing engine for quotes from many decentralized exchanges, bridges and intent solvers at once, puts them against each other and gives you the route that returns the most. You sign it in your own wallet, and on most routes the tokens are quoted to arrive in seconds.
- Speed: in our live checks, same-network swaps and most cross-chain routes between Ethereum, BNB Chain, Base, Polygon and Solana were quoted at 1-30 seconds; routes to or from Tron at about 20-100 seconds. Native bitcoin is slower, because it waits for block confirmations.
- Rates: the router compares every available route for your exact amount, including price impact, gas and fees, so the quote you see is the best one it found, not one exchange’s price.
- Fee: one flat 0.7% service fee, shown in the quote. No spread hidden in the rate, no deposit fee, no withdrawal fee, no subscription.
- Freedom: no account, no sign-up, use the self-custodial wallet you already have. Swap from 60+ networks to 60+ networks, including Bitcoin, Solana and Tron.
| Step Exchange | Centralized exchange | A single DEX | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Account or sign-up | None | Required, usually with ID checks | None |
| Who holds your funds | You, until you sign | The exchange, after deposit | You |
| Routes compared | Many DEXs and bridges in one quote | The exchange’s own order book | That DEX’s pools only |
| Different network in one step | Yes, 60+ networks | Deposit, trade, then withdraw | Usually no |
| Fees you see | Route fees, gas, 0.7% service fee, all before you confirm | Trading fee plus withdrawal fee | Pool fee plus gas |
When we are not the best choice: for very large trades, compare our quote with splitting the amount, because price impact grows with size. If you want to cash out to a bank card, you need a centralized exchange anyway. Each pair page shows live quotes so you can compare before you swap.

Before You Swap
- Gas: keep a little of the network’s native token.
- Slippage: low tolerance for liquid pairs; see what is slippage in crypto.
- Token check: select tokens in the widget rather than pasting unknown addresses.
