How to swap IOT, MOBILE and HNT using Jup.ag

How to swap IOT, MOBILE and HNT using Jup.ag

Before we begin:

You need to have the Black Helium wallet and some Solana tokens Solana to execute the transactions. If you don't have Solana yet or not enough, you can convert some HNT to Solana following this guide: https://www.heliumdeploy.io/blog/how-to-swap-hnt-to-sol-for-staking-and-other-transactions

 

Now that you've got enough SOL for the transactions, let's talk explain Jup.ag first.

Jup.ag (Jupiter Aggregator) is a DeFi platform that combines multiple DEXs (Decentralized Exchange) to find the best route for your selected swap. It will try to find the swapping route that gets you the most worth out of your tokens. Now that we know how Jup.ag works, let's get swappin'!

In this example we're going to swap 100 IOT for some HNT. Instead of IOT you could also swap MOBILE for HNT but also the other way around (so HNT of IOT/MOBILE).

Step 1: Open the black Helium Wallet app.

Step 10: Search for HNT (or any other token you wish to swap to) and tap it to select.

Step 11: Jup.ag will now find the best swap rate for you and show the routes it will take. By default the best route is selected. If you wish you can select another route but we recommend using the one provided as best by Jup.ag.

Once the best route is selected press Swap.

Step 12: Tap Approve to approve the swap.

Congratulations! You've successfully swapped your tokens using Jup.ag! You can verify that the transaction was successful by returning to the homepage of the Helium Wallet. You can do this by either closing the app and reopening it or exiting the globe icon.

Tap the lightning bolt.

If go back to the homepage of the Helium Wallet you will also notice that your HNT balance has increased. This increase should reflect the amount of the swap you made.
