A token swap is the exchange of one type of cryptocurrency token for another, often occurring on decentralized or centralized exchanges. This process permits users to trade assets within a single transaction without converting to fiat currency as an intermediary. It facilitates portfolio rebalancing, participation in new protocols, or conversion to a preferred asset. Token swaps are fundamental to the liquidity and functionality of the digital asset market.
