# How to trade Wownero using Atomic Swaps
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can perform atomic swaps between Wownero and a few other chains using a software called BasicSwap. It runs on your computer and connects to other participants where you can place and accept bids. Funds go directly into your wallets without any middle-man, completely decentralized.

## Installation
|
|
|
|
|
|
The official documentation can be found here: https://academy.particl.io/en/latest/basicswap-guides/basicswapguides_installation.html
|
|
|
|
|
|
A community member named ofrnxmr runs a scripted installation which is the best way to use it. Follow the instructions here: https://github.com/nahuhh/basicswap-bash/releases

|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
|
|
Run basicswapdex and open your browser to [http://127.0.0.1:12700/offers](http://127.0.0.1:12700/offers) - you should see any active offers for the coins you have enabled.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Go to the Wallets paged and make sure they’re all synced up - you might have to wait a bit.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Copy the address or subaddress of the wallet and send funds. When the transfer is confirmed on that network you will be able to participate in atomic swaps.
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can perform atomic swaps with Wownero and any SegWit capable chains, which will always be your intermediary; there are no direct atomic swaps from Wownero to Monero for example.

| Swap Route Examples |
|
|
|
| ----------------------------- |
|
|
|
| Wownero -> Particl -> Monero |
|
|
|
| Monero -> Particl -> Wownero |
|
|
|
| Wownero -> Litecoin -> Monero |
|
|
|
| Monero -> Litecoin -> Wownero |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Look for offers that suit your criteria (the coin you have, the coin you want, and a market rate you are comfortable with) or place your own offer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Set your bid, wait for it to get filled, then wait for the swap to happen. The swap itself is a combination of cryptographic shenanigans with signatures and lock times - I don’t know all of the intracacies but I do know it is trustless and completely peer to peer.
