# How To Swap & Bridge Tokens
Follow the steps below to complete a trade on the ApeBond:
{% hint style="info" %}
We are swapping $BNB on the BNB chain to $QUICK on the Polygon
{% endhint %}
1\) Connect your wallet to ApeBond (for instructions, visit the [How to Connect Your Wallet](/apebond/products-and-features/wallets/how-to-connect-your-wallet.md) page).
2\) Click Swap in the nav bar
3\) Select the tokens you wish to trade by clicking on the token icons and selecting from the dropdown list.
If you are attempting to trade a token for the first time, you will need to approve the token contract within your wallet using the Enable button before trading.
4\) Select both the desired Chain and token.
For this example, we're selecting Polygon as the Chain and $QUICK as the token.
5\) Input the amount you wish to trade or receive. The platform will automatically calculate and display the corresponding amount for the other token.
6\) Expand the details section by clicking the triangle icon to view more information.
7\) Check the details to ensure the values are accurate
8\) Initiate the trade by clicking on “Bridge”.
Note: If you're swapping tokens on the same chain, this button will say "Swap" instead.
9\) Confirm the transaction in your wallet.
Once a trade is completed, you can click "View on explorer" to see your transaction details. If successful, the swap should be reflected in your wallet's token balances shortly after.
