♻️ Swap Page

The swap page is your primary trading interface on Lightbeam, offering multiple order types to suit different trading strategies. Direct Link: https://lightbeam.finance/swap

​

Getting Started

​

Token Selection

Begin by selecting the token pair you want to trade. If you navigated here from a Token Page by clicking ‘Buy’ or ‘Sell’, your token will already be pre-selected. By default, selecting a token creates a buy order for that trading pair. You can easily switch between buy and sell orders using the double arrow toggle button.

​

Trading Options

Lightbeam offers three distinct trading methods, each designed for different trading strategies and experience levels:

1. Swap - Instant market orders
2. Limit - Custom price orders
3. Liquidity - Automated liquidity provision

​

Swap (Market Orders)

Simple Swap is the fastest way to execute trades on Lightbeam. This option functions like a market order, executing immediately at the best available price. How it works:

• Enter either the amount you want to send or receive
• The form automatically calculates the other amount based on current market prices
• Review the trade details before confirming
• Your order executes instantly against existing orders in the book

​

Limit Orders

Limit orders give you precise control over your trade execution price. Unlike market orders, limit orders may not execute immediately as they require matching with another trader’s order at your specified price. Setting up a Limit Order:

1. Choose your amounts - Enter the quantity you want to trade
2. Set your price - The current market price is pre-filled, but you can:
   • Enter a custom price manually
   • Use quick adjustment buttons (±1%, ±5%, ±10%) to modify the market price
3. Review calculations - Verify all amounts and totals are correct
4. Place your order - Double-check everything before submitting

Price Helper Buttons:

• For buy orders: Buttons add percentage above market price (faster execution)
• For sell orders: Buttons subtract percentage below market price (faster execution)

Order Execution: Once you’re satisfied with your order details, click ‘Place Order’ and confirm the transaction in your Keeta wallet. Your limit order will be added to the order book and remain active until:

• It gets matched with a compatible order
• You manually cancel it
• It expires (if you set an expiration)

​

Liquidity Provision

Lightbeam’s Automatic Liquidity system enables you to provide concentrated liquidity for any trading pair, earning fees from trades while contributing to market depth and efficiency. This advanced feature allows you to:

• Earn trading fees from other users’ transactions
• Provide targeted liquidity at specific price ranges
• Contribute to overall market stability and tightness
