Most wallets send you to an external DEX to trade. LOBSTR doesn't. 🦞

@StellarOrg and the XRP Ledger both have exchanges built directly into the protocol, and LOBSTR is a wallet on both, meaning two native DEXes plus cross-chain routes, all in one app.

Here's how it works 👇

@xrpl_commons 1️⃣ The DEX Is the Chain

Stellar and XRPL are two of the few blockchains where the decentralized exchange is part of the network itself, not a dApp on top.

Every wallet on either chain trades against the same shared orderbook, and LOBSTR puts both built-in DEXes in the same app.

2️⃣ How LOBSTR Routes Your Swap

Every Stellar swap hits two liquidity sources: Stellar Classic orderbook + AMM, and Aquarius AMM pools, and LOBSTR picks the better rate.

For trades over $20 where the regular route underperforms, Smart Swap splits the order into smaller paths.

3️⃣ Swap vs Trade, Two Interfaces

LOBSTR gives you two ways to trade, depending on what you need.

- Swap: quick exchange at the current best rate, one asset in, another out, instant.
- Trade: full DEX with limit orders, depth charts, and the live orderbook for active trading.

4️⃣ How to Swap an Asset

1. Tap "Swap" in the side menu, Home, or any asset's detail page
2. Pick what you're swapping FROM and TO
3. Enter the amount
4. Review the rate and slippage
5. Confirm

Settles on-chain in seconds, with the new asset in your wallet.

5️⃣ Going Cross-Chain

For assets outside Stellar and XRPL, BTC, ETH, USDT, and 400+ others, LOBSTR's mobile app offers cross-chain swaps powered by Changelly.

Find them under Deposit → Buy & Exchange.

You have a 3-hour window to send your funds after starting a swap.

6️⃣ The Exchange Is Already in Your Pocket

Trading inside your wallet means full self-custody, faster settlement, and no bridges between apps, across two networks, and beyond.

The swap tab is right there in the side menu.
