Swapping Tokens
Swapping is the simplest way to trade on BeeZee: pick what you have, pick what you want, and the app handles the rest in a single click. It's the home page of the DEX, and for most people it's all they'll ever need.
Making a swap
Choose your "from" token — the one you're paying with. The picker is searchable and shows your balances, so you always know what you can spend.
Choose your "to" token — the one you want to receive.
Enter an amount. Type how much you want to spend, or use the Max button and the 25% / 50% / 75% / 100% shortcuts to spend part or all of your balance. You can also type the amount you'd like to receive, and the app works backwards to fill in the rest.
Confirm. Your wallet asks you to approve, and the swap settles on the blockchain — no middleman ever holds your funds.
Behind the scenes, your swap trades against liquidity pools — shared pots of two tokens that anyone can trade between. The app automatically finds the best path for your trade, and sometimes hops through several pools to get you a better result. When it does, you'll see a Trade Route showing the tokens it passed through along the way.
What you see before you confirm
Swapping is instant, but you're never trading blind. Before you approve, the app shows you:
The rate — how much of the "to" token you'll get for your "from" token.
Price impact — how much your own trade moves the price. Smaller is better; a large number usually means the pool is small relative to your trade.
The swap fee — the trading fee that goes to the pool.
A small taker fee — a flat 0.1 BZE for trades that fill immediately.
Max slippage
Prices can move in the moment between quoting your swap and settling it. The Max slippage setting is your safety net: if the price moves against you by more than you allow, the swap is cancelled instead of going through at a bad rate. Pick 0.5%, 1%, 2%, or set a custom value. Tighter protection is safer, but in a fast-moving or thinly traded market a very tight setting may cause swaps to fail — loosen it a little if that happens.
For example. Your book club runs on $PAGE. A member wants some to join in, so they open the DEX, choose BZE as the "from" token and $PAGE as the "to" token, tap 50%, and confirm. The app routes it through the $PAGE–BZE pool and their $PAGE lands in seconds — no need to hunt for a market or set a price.
When a swap can't go through
The app tells you plainly what's happening:
Insufficient balance — you don't have enough of the "from" token for the amount entered. Lower the amount or top up.
No route found — there's no pool (or chain of pools) connecting those two tokens yet. Try a different pair, or someone can create a pool for it in Token Factory.
