Token Swap — Best DEX Trading on Cronos

WolfSwap's token swap is the fastest way to trade on Cronos blockchain. As the leading DEX aggregator, WolfSwap scans all Cronos decentralized exchanges — including VVS Finance, MM Finance, Ferro Protocol, Fulcrom, Obsidian, and CroDex — to find the best rate for every trade, automatically.

Whether you're swapping CRO for stablecoins, trading into DeFi tokens, or buying newly launched projects, WolfSwap handles the routing so you always get the most tokens for your money.


How to Swap Tokens on WolfSwap

Trading on WolfSwap follows a simple process:

  1. Connect your wallet — Click "Connect Wallet" and approve the connection from MetaMask, Rabby, or any EVM-compatible wallet
  2. Select your tokens — Choose the token you want to sell (PAY) and the token you want to buy (RECEIVE)
  3. Enter the amount — Type how much you want to trade. The USD value displays below each token field for reference
  4. Review the quote — WolfSwap shows you the rate, price impact, and estimated gas fee
  5. Confirm the swap — Click "Swap" and approve the transaction in your wallet. Your tokens arrive in seconds

Importing Custom Tokens

WolfSwap comes with a curated list of whitelisted tokens for quick access. If the token you're looking for isn't listed, you can import it manually:

  1. Click the token dropdown menu
  2. Paste the contract address in the search field
  3. Click "Import" to add the token

Always verify contract addresses from official sources before importing custom tokens. Use WolfSwap's AI Contract Scanner to check for risk indicators.

Slippage & Auto Slippage

Slippage is the difference between the expected price of a trade and the price at which it actually executes. This happens because market conditions can change between the moment you submit a trade and when it confirms on-chain.

WolfSwap features an Auto Slippage mode that dynamically calculates the optimal slippage tolerance for each trade. It factors in:

  • Current market volatility — Adjusts higher during volatile conditions to prevent failed transactions
  • Token liquidity depth — Accounts for how much liquidity is available for the pair
  • Trade size — Larger trades may need slightly more tolerance

Auto Slippage is the recommended setting for most users. It strikes the right balance between trade success and protection against unfavorable execution.

Manual Slippage

You can also set slippage manually. For example, setting slippage to 1% means your trade will only complete if the price doesn't move more than 1% before your transaction is finalized.

  • Low slippage (0.1–0.5%) — Best for stablecoin pairs like USDC/USDT where prices are predictable
  • Medium slippage (0.5–1%) — Good for major tokens like CRO, WETH, or WBTC
  • Higher slippage (1–5%) — May be needed for newer or low-liquidity tokens

Front-running warning: High slippage settings can expose your trade to MEV or "sandwich" bots that front-run your transaction, reducing the tokens you receive. Use Auto Slippage or Turbo Mode to minimize this risk.


Transaction Speed & Turbo Mode

Transaction speed controls the priority of your trade on the Cronos blockchain. Higher speed settings may slightly increase the gas fee used to prioritize your transaction.

Turbo Mode is WolfSwap's anti-MEV feature. When enabled, it helps protect your trade from sandwich bots and front-running by submitting the transaction in a way that makes it harder for bots to exploit.


Price Impact

Price impact measures how much your trade affects the market price of the token pair. It depends on:

  • Trade size — Larger trades relative to the pool's liquidity cause more impact
  • Liquidity depth — Pairs with deep liquidity absorb trades with minimal impact

WolfSwap minimizes price impact by splitting orders across multiple DEXs and routing through intermediary tokens when a direct path isn't optimal.

Price Refresh

  • Automatic refresh — Prices update every 5 seconds automatically
  • Manual refresh — Click the refresh icon at the top of the trade screen for an instant update

Swap Examples

Here are a few common trading scenarios on WolfSwap:

Example 1: Swapping CRO to USDC

You have 1,000 CRO and want to convert to a stablecoin. Select CRO as PAY, USDC as RECEIVE, enter 1000, and WolfSwap finds the best route — potentially splitting across VVS Finance and MM Finance for a better rate than either DEX alone.

Example 2: Buying $PACK with USDC

You want to buy $PACK tokens. Select USDC as PAY, $PACK as RECEIVE, enter your amount. WolfSwap routes through the deepest liquidity pool automatically. With Auto Slippage enabled, you don't need to worry about setting the right tolerance.

Example 3: Trading into a new token

You found a newly launched token and have its contract address. Import it via the token dropdown, paste the address, and click Import. Before trading, run the AI Contract Scanner to check for red flags. Set your amount and swap — WolfSwap handles the routing.


Tips for Better Trades

  • Use Auto Slippage — Let WolfSwap calculate the optimal tolerance for you
  • Check price impact — If it's above 5%, consider splitting into smaller trades
  • Enable Turbo Mode — Protects against MEV bots on larger trades
  • Trade during stable markets — Less volatility means better execution
  • Keep CRO in your wallet — You always need a small amount for gas fees
