2. **Token Selection**: Select the tokens you wish to exchange (input and output tokens).&#x20;

   * **Importing a custom token**: Can't find your token in the default list? Simply input the contract address of the token you're eyeing in the search field to import it.

3. **Swap Specifications:** Specify the amount you wish to exchange. The platform will automatically show the expected amount you'll receive, factoring in current market conditions and liquidity pool depth.

   * **Alternative Approach:** You can instead specify the amount of output tokens you'd like to receive.
   * **Adjust Slippage (o*****ptional)*****:** If desired, tap Transaction Settings (gear icon) and adjust the slippage tolerance.

4. **Token Approval (if required):** If it's the first time you are trading a particular token on Kodiak, you will need to approve the token to be swapped on our router. Click on the `Allow Kodiak to use your [  ]` button and confirm the token approval in your wallet.
