Below are three methods available to swap tokens for tokens:
Consider the token’s decimal places when determining input and output values.Input and output amounts passed to the solidity function should all be in the token’s smallest unit. For the SAUCE token, which has 6 decimal places, an input of 123.45 SAUCE should be entered as 123450000 (123.45 multiplied by 10^6).
Granting an spender allowance to the router contract is required when the input token is not native HBAR for security reasons enforced at the native code layer . Ensure that the allowance amount is in token’s smallest unit.
Ensure that the “to” account has the output token id associated prior to executing the swap. Failure to do so will result in a TOKEN_NOT_ASSOCIATED_TO_ACCOUNT error.

Swap Exact Tokens for Tokens

Swap an exact amount of tokens for a minimum token amount. Solidity function name: swapExactTokensForTokens
Parameter NameDescription
uint amountInThe exact input token amount in its smallest unit
uint amountOutMinThe minimum token amount to receive in its smallest unit
address[] calldata pathAn ordered list of token EVM addresses
address toEVM address for the token recipient
uint deadlineDeadline in unix seconds
Set the minimum output token amount (amountOutMin) with caution.A high minimum might lead to a swap failure due to insufficient liquidity or rapid price movements. Conversely, setting the minimum too low can expose you to significant slippage, potentially resulting in a financial loss as you might receive far fewer tokens than expected.

Swap Tokens for Exact Tokens

Swap a maximum amount of tokens to receive an exact tokens amount. Solidity function name: swapTokensForExactTokens
Parameter nameDescription
uint amountOutThe exact output amount to receive in its smallest unit
uint amountInMaxThe maximum allowed input amount in its smallest unit
address[] calldata pathAn ordered list of token EVM addresses
address toEVM address for the token recipient
uint deadlineDeadline in unix seconds
Set the maximum input token amount (amountInMax) with caution.A low maximum might lead to a swap failure if the required liquidity surpasses this limit or due to rapid price movements. Conversely, setting it too high can expose you to significant slippage, potentially leading to a financial loss as you might spend far more tokens than expected.

Swap Exact Tokens for Tokens Supporting Custom Fees

Swap an exact amount of tokens for a minimum HBAR amount, supporting HTS tokens with custom fees on token transfer. Solidity function name: swapExactTokensForTokensSupportingFeeOnTransferTokens
Parameter NameDescription
uint amountInThe input token amount in its smallest unit
uint amountOutMinThe minimum token amount to receive in its smallest unit
address[] calldata pathAn ordered list of token EVM addresses
address toEVM address for the token recipient
uint deadlineDeadline in unix seconds
Set the minimum output token amount (amountOutMin) with caution.A high minimum might lead to a swap failure due to insufficient liquidity or rapid price movements. Conversely, setting the minimum too low can expose you to significant slippage, potentially resulting in a financial loss as you might receive far fewer tokens than expected.
