# Quickstart

### What you’ll need

* A crypto wallet (works with major Solana wallets like Phantom/Solflare; hardware wallets via supported wallet apps).
* The token you want to swap **from**.
* A small buffer above the minimum amount (to cover route/network/liquidity fees included in the quote).

> **Tip:** If it’s your first time, try a small test swap.

### Step-By-Step Guide

1. **Open Quantum Swap**\
   Verify you’re on the official app link.
2. **Connect wallet**\
   Click **Connect** and approve in your wallet.
3. **Choose tokens**
   * **From:** the token you hold
   * **To:** the token you want to receive
4. **Enter amount**\
   The quote updates in real time with price, route, and all fees (no native gas token needed).\
   **Note:** Fees are abstracted into the route/quote—you don’t need to pre-fund native gas tokens.
5. **Recipient address**\
   Enter the recipient address wallet, can be your own wallet or somone else.
6. **Review & confirm**
   * Check minimum received & slippage
   * Check estimated time\
     Click **Swap** and approve in your wallet.
7. **Receive tokens**\
   You’ll see status updates. Tokens arrive in your wallet when the transaction finalizes.

> **Tip:** Cross-chain routes can involve multiple steps. Keep the dApp open until you see “Completed”.
