**Anyswap Step-by-Step Overview — What You Need Before Starting**

Before executing a cross-chain transfer on [**Anyswap**](https://anyswap.uk/), make sure you have:

*   A supported wallet (MetaMask, Trust Wallet, Ledger)
    
*   Native gas on the origin chain
    
*   Enough liquidity for the chosen token
    
*   Correct slippage settings (see below)

### **Steps to connect**

1.  Open the Anyswap interface
    
2.  Click **Connect Wallet**
    
3.  Select MetaMask / Ledger / Trust Wallet
    
4.  Approve connection
    
5.  Confirm that the correct network is selected
    

If the wallet doesn’t connect properly, check:

[**Anyswap Supported Networks and Tokens**](https://anyswap.pro/blog/anyswap-supported-networks-and-tokens/)

### **Checklist before selecting a token**

*   Confirm network compatibility
    
*   Check liquidity (deep pairs offer better price impact)
    
*   Verify that the token supports bridging and not just swapping
    
*   Review slippage recommendations

**Anyswap Transfer Setup — Choosing Networks and Routes**
---------------------------------------------------------

Choosing the origin and destination chain is crucial for execution quality.  
Guides available:

*   [**Ethereum → Arbitrum**](https://anyswap.pro/blog/anyswap-bridge-ethereum-to-arbitrum/)
    
*   [**Ethereum → Polygon**](https://anyswap.pro/blog/anyswap-bridge-ethereum-to-polygon/)
    
*   [**Ethereum → BNB Chain**](https://anyswap.pro/blog/anyswap-bridge-ethereum-to-bnb-chain/)
    
*   [**Ethereum → Base**](https://anyswap.pro/blog/anyswap-bridge-ethereum-to-base/)

*   [**Ethereum → Optimism**](https://anyswap.pro/blog/anyswap-bridge-ethereum-to-optimism/)
    

The routing engine analyzes:

*   AMM depth
    
*   Gas price
    
*   Multi-hop and split-path conditions
    
*   Finality on both chains

**Anyswap Slippage Settings — Beginner and Pro Recommendations**
----------------------------------------------------------------

Slippage controls how sensitive your transfer is to price movements.  
Practical tuning guide:  
**Anyswap Slippage Tips**

### ✅ Beginner Settings

*   0.5–1% for deep assets
    
*   1–1.5% for mid-cap tokens
    
*   2%+ for volatile assets or thin pools
    

### ✅ Pro Settings

*   Use dynamic slippage based on multi-hop route data
    
*   Widen tolerance slightly on congested networks
    
*   Reduce tolerance during stable market conditions
    

* * *

**Anyswap Approvals — First-Time Token Authorization**
------------------------------------------------------

The first time you use a token, you must approve it — a blockchain-level requirement.  
This is **not a protocol fee**, but standard ERC-20 behavior.

### Notes:

*   Approval is one-time per token
    
*   Approval requires gas
    
*   Avoid high-gas periods on Ethereum

**Anyswap Execution — Submitting and Confirming the Transfer**
--------------------------------------------------------------

When you hit **Swap / Bridge**, Anyswap performs:

1.  on-chain initiation
    
2.  routing selection
    
3.  cross-chain validation
    
4.  destination-chain finalization
    

Execution transparency is guaranteed because all operations remain **non-custodial**.

**Anyswap Tracking — Monitoring Status and Confirmations**
----------------------------------------------------------

If you want to track your transaction:

### ✅ Primary tool:

[**Anyswap Transaction Tracking**](https://anyswap.pro/blog/anyswap-transaction-tracking/)

Use it to diagnose:

*   pending states
    
*   slow confirmations
    
*   chain congestion
    
*   finality thresholds
    

### ✅ If something is stuck:

Check:  
**Anyswap Common Errors**  
and  
[**Anyswap RPC Issues**](https://anyswap.pro/blog/anyswap-rpc-issues/)

**Anyswap Pro Tips — Maximizing Success and Lowering Costs**
------------------------------------------------------------

### ✅ Optimize gas

Run swaps during low-traffic windows (learn patterns in **Fees** section):  
[**Anyswap Fees**](https://anyswap.pro/blog/anyswap-fees/)

### ✅ Optimize slippage

Use conservative settings unless the asset is volatile.

### ✅ Avoid congested chains

Ethereum peak hours = higher cost + slower settlement.

### ✅ Always keep gas on the destination chain

Missing gas = execution delay.

### ✅ If unsure, start with small test transfers

Especially for multi-hop or volatile tokens.
