### How to Swap Runes on Runeswap.com

Swapping $BTC for $RUNES (and vice versa) on Runeswap.com is designed to be simple, fast, and trustless. Follow these easy steps to make your first swap:

1. **Visit Runeswap.com:** Navigate to the official Runeswap.com website in your web browser.
2. **Connect Your Wallet:** In the top right corner (or similar prominent position), click the "Connect Wallet" button. Choose your preferred Bitcoin-compatible wallet from the options presented and approve the connection.
3. **Select Your Swap Pair:**
   * On the main swap interface, you'll see "You're selling" and "You're buying" sections.
   * Click on the asset next to "You're selling" (e.g., $BTC) to select the cryptocurrency you want to swap *from*.
   * Click on the asset next to "You're buying" (e.g., $RUNES) to select the cryptocurrency you want to swap *to*.
4. **Enter Swap Amount:**
   * In the "You're selling" field, enter the amount of the cryptocurrency you wish to swap.
   * The "You're buying" field will automatically update to show the estimated amount you will receive, taking into account liquidity and fees.
5. **Review Fees & Slippage:**
   * Below the swap amounts, you'll see the **Service Fee** (0.5%) clearly displayed.
   * Pay attention to any estimated slippage, especially for larger trades, though we aim for near-zero slippage on liquid pairs.
6. **Choose Network Fee (Optional but Recommended):**
   * On the **bottom left** of the interface, select your desired Bitcoin network fee setting: **Normal, High, or Turbo**. This influences how quickly your transaction will be confirmed by Bitcoin miners.
7. **Confirm Swap:**
   * Once you're satisfied with all the details, click the "Connect" button (this will change to "Swap" or "Confirm Swap" once your wallet is connected and you've entered amounts).
   * Your connected wallet will prompt you to review and approve the transaction. Carefully check the details in your wallet, including the amount and the network fee.
8. **Approve Transaction:**
   * Confirm the transaction in your wallet.
9. **Transaction Confirmation:**
   * Your swap transaction will now be sent to the Bitcoin network. You can track its progress on the "Transactions" tab (usually located next to "Swap" at the top) or by using a Bitcoin blockchain explorer with your transaction ID.
   * Once confirmed by the network, your $RUNES (or $BTC) will appear in your wallet!

That's it! You've successfully swapped assets on Runeswap.com.
