# What is a swap? How does it work?

A **swap** enables direct cryptocurrency exchange within your wallet. **MyTonWallet** supports two types of swaps:

* **On-chain swaps** within the same blockchain
* **Cross-chain swaps** between different blockchains

## :link: On-Chain Swaps

Exchange tokens within a single blockchain network (e.g., **TON**) through a fully **decentralized** process.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Example:** Convert **TON** to **MY**, **HMSTR**, **STON**, or other supported tokens directly in your wallet.
{% endhint %}

## :currency\_exchange: Cross-Chain Swaps

Transfer assets between different blockchain networks, including **TON**, **TRON**, and others.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Example:** Convert **TON** to **BTC** without using an exchange. Simply provide a BTC wallet address, and the swap is processed through our trusted partner, [**Changelly**](https://changelly.com).
{% endhint %}
