How can I swap cryptocurrencies using the token page?

Updated over 3 weeks ago

You can use OpenSea to buy your favorite NFTs and swap for many tokens.

OpenSea enables users to access a wide array of token swaps using our platform via Relay. While OpenSea itself doesn’t handle these transactions, our interface connects users to this third-party service.

These tokens include native blockchain tokens, governance tokens, game currencies, memecoins, and co‑branded NFT collection tokens.

It’s important to understand the difference between NFTs and fungible tokens:

  • NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens): Unique, indivisible digital assets

  • Fungible Tokens: Divisible and exchangeable for equal value, like bitcoin (BTC)

How do I access token swaps using OpenSea?

To complete a swap, you'll need some of the native gas token for the chain you're swapping from. As an example, to swap from Berachain to Ethereum, you'll need some $BERA in your wallet. You’ll also need some existing funds in your wallet. Learn more in our Help Center guide about how to add funds.

For information specific to cross-chain swapping between an EVM chain and Solana, learn more here.

  1. Search for the ticker of the token you’d like to obtain (for example, $MFER) in the OpenSea search bar, or navigate to the corresponding NFT collection’s tokens tab. Newly created tokens are discoverable by searching the contract address, but may not otherwise appear in search or on the Stats page.

    Alternatively, you can also use the swap functionality in your wallet sidebar on OpenSea to swap.

  2. Select the token you’d like to send (“Sell”) and the amount.

  3. Select the token you want to receive (“Buy”). Toggle the icons at the top of the interface to browse tokens on different blockchain.

  4. After you select your desired token, the estimated amount you’ll receive populates automatically, based on the best pricing currently available. You’ll also see the effective exchange rate. For EVM swaps, the exchange rate accounts for fees. For Solana swaps, fees are additive and not accounted for in the exchange rate. Gas is not included in the exchange rate.

  5. Carefully review the details of your swap, including the token you’re sending, the blockchain and token you’re receiving, and the amounts of each. Select the dropdown to view additional information, including, the OpenSea fee, gas fee, the provider’s bridge fee, if applicable, the estimated completion time for your swap, and the max slippage.

  6. If you wish to proceed with the transaction, click Swap. You must sign the transaction in your connected wallet to submit it to the blockchain for confirmation.

How can I swap between an EVM chain and Solana?

If you’re swapping cross-chain from an EVM chain to Solana, you’ll need to enter a Solana recipient wallet address within the swap interface (or, if you’re swapping from Solana to an EVM chain, you’ll need to enter an EVM address).

In the Designation wallet field, select a wallet that you’ve recently used on OpenSea, or click Add Wallet to add a new recipient wallet address. Keep in mind that funds sent to the wrong address cannot be recovered.

What information can I find on the token page?

At this time, token creators don’t have the ability to customize their token page. We hope to offer this functionality in the future.

From the token page, you can access the following pieces of basic information about the token you’re interested in:

  • Smart contract address and its blockchain explorer link

  • Link to social media page and website, if applicable

  • Chain

  • Market cap: the total value of the token in circulation, and the percent change in market cap for the specified time period

  • FDV: “Fully diluted value.” The current token price multiplied by the total supply of tokens (not just those in circulation)

  • Volume: trading volume for specified time period

  • Price: percent change in price of the token for specified time period

You can view price data for a specified time period (all-time, 1 year, 30 days, 7 days, 1 day).
