User guide
Your first live swap
A short path for traders: wallet → trustline → quote → slippage → confirm. For the full annotated write-up, see the repository guide.
Step 1
Connect your wallet
Use Freighter or xBull. Match the network badge in the footer (Testnet vs Mainnet) before you trade.
Step 2
Fund and reserve XLM
Keep enough XLM for network fees and Stellar base reserves. On testnet, Friendbot can fund a new account.
Step 3
Add a trustline if needed
Non-XLM receive assets usually need a trustline. Approve the trustline transaction in your wallet when prompted.
Step 4
Pick a pair and enter a small amount
Choose pay/receive assets, enter a modest size for your first live swap, and wait for the best-route quote.
Step 5
Set slippage and review the route
Start near 0.5% slippage unless markets are moving quickly. Read high-impact warnings before confirming.
Step 6
Confirm in your wallet
Review amounts in the wallet prompt, sign, then track status in the app. StellarRoute never holds your keys.
