Swap: [**https://app.usenest.xyz/trade/swap**](https://app.usenest.xyz/trade/swap)

**Quick checks**

* You’re on **HyperEVM**
* You have a little **HYPE for gas**
* You’re using the official app link (bookmark it)

**Steps**

1. Connect wallet
2. Select token in → token out
3. Start with a **small test swap**
4. **Approve** the input token (first time only)
5. Click **Swap** and confirm

{% hint style="info" %}
**If it fails -** Most common causes: no HYPE gas, approval didn’t go through, slippage too tight, or trade size too large → add gas, re-approve, slightly increase slippage, or reduce size.
{% endhint %}
