Swaps

Create a swap

Create a token swap. A swap exchanges one stablecoin for another between a source wallet and a destination wallet (owned by a user or an external wallet).

The source and destination currency must be different. Provide exactly one of source.amount or destination.amount — the other side is derived from the quote. Provide exactly one of destination.walletId or destination.externalWalletId.

Depending on the pricing model, the swap may be created directly or returned in an OPEN_QUOTE state that must be accepted before execution.
