How to Seamlessly Swap Runes Tokens

Runes Swap lets you seamlessly trade Runes tokens for Bitcoin (BTC) and vice versa. Read on to learn how Magic Eden’s Runes Swap feature upgrades your Runes trading experience—making swaps faster, simpler and smoother than ever.

What Are Runes Swaps?

While the Runes ecosystem offers a range of exciting tokens to trade and enough liquidity for whales to join in the fun, the overall trading experience isn’t as smooth as it could be. 

Well, that’s about to change, thanks to Magic Eden’s Runes Swaps.

Swapping Runes refers to converting Runes tokens to bitcoin and vice versa using a simple one-click trading experience. And that’s exactly what you can do on Magic Eden now.

Introducing Runes Swaps on Magic Eden

Magic Eden is already the home of Runes trading, thanks to our popular decentralized marketplace that lets you buy, sell and place bids for Runes tokens. 

Now, you’ll also be able to convert Runes to BTC and vice versa without having to scoop up lots or make bids and wait for them to be accepted.

Enter the swap size, a price tolerance, and hit swap. The price tolerance is the maximum price you want to accept (the default is set to 10%). That’s it! Magic Eden takes care of the rest by connecting you with the best offer on the market.

The simplified approach makes Runes trading approachable for new users, with a classic bid/ask orderbook. It also greatly simplifies large-scale purchases by eliminating the need to match and select multiple lots. 

But, if you prefer the old way of doing things, you can still list lots, sell directly into bids, or place new bids to buy.

What Do Runes Swaps Unlock for the Runes Trading Ecosystem? 

Magic Eden’s Runes Swaps have a positive impact on the Runes ecosystem by making Runes trading simpler and more accessible, allowing more people to take part in the growing market for meme coins on Bitcoin. 

But that’s not all. 

Runes Swaps also introduce more liquidity to the ecosystem, which leads to a healthier and more liquid market

Additionally, this feature is set to attract bigger players to the space by letting whales swap Runes in only a few clicks, with no need to combine lots to make the trades worthwhile.

This same improvement in usability will benefit all other users as well. If you don’t have to think about bids, lots, etc., and the number of clicks is lowered to a minimum, making it easier to trade Runes. 

The familiar user experience will also make anyone’s transition from other DeFi platforms and services that much smoother.

All of this makes Runes more accessible to everyone, regardless of previous experience. More users also mean more liquidity, more security and more usability for the ecosystem.
