Your first swap, start to finish

Beginner 7 min read Jul 28, 2026

A swap is the moment YA actually enters your wallet. This walks through it once, slowly, so you know what every screen is asking before you sign anything.

Before you start

You need three things: a wallet that supports Danny Chain, a little DAN to pay the network fee, and the YA contract address so you can check you are buying the right token.

9,065YA holders

Those figures come from the Danny Explorer, which publishes chain and token data openly. The YA contract is 0xB8Ce109cf97b614b562A5E274C8Df22526f190A9 — anyone can look it up rather than take our word for it.

1. Open the wallet and check the network

Danny Wallet shows the active network at the top of the home screen. If it says anything other than Danny Chain, switch before you continue: a swap signed on the wrong network will either fail or send funds somewhere you did not intend.

2. Choose what you are paying with

In the swap screen, the top field is what leaves your wallet and the bottom field is what arrives. Tap the token selector on the bottom field and paste the YA contract address rather than searching by name — token names are not unique, contract addresses are.

Check the address twice. Compare the first four and last four characters against the address published on this site. Anyone can deploy a token called "YA".

3. Read the rate and the slippage

The wallet shows an exchange rate and a slippage tolerance, usually 0.5%, 1%, or 2%. Slippage is how far the price is allowed to move between the moment you sign and the moment the block is mined. Set it low and a volatile market may reject your trade; set it high and you may receive noticeably less than quoted.

For a pair with modest liquidity, 1% is a reasonable starting point. If the swap keeps failing, the honest fix is usually a smaller trade size rather than a higher slippage setting.

4. Sign, then verify

The signature is the point of no return — on-chain transactions cannot be reversed by us or by anyone. Once it confirms, the wallet shows the new YA balance, and the transaction appears on the explorer within a block or two.

On the explorer, a swap shows up with the method swapExactTokensForTokens and the pool labelled Danny LPs as the counterparty. That is the liquidity pool your trade was routed through — seeing it there is how you confirm the trade actually happened on-chain rather than only in an app.

If something goes wrong

  • Transaction failed, fee still charged. Normal. The network charged for the attempt. Nothing left your wallet apart from the fee.
  • Token does not appear. The balance is on-chain regardless. Add the contract address manually as a custom token.
  • Received less than quoted. The price moved within your slippage tolerance. Lower the tolerance or trade a smaller amount next time.
