If you are choosing options 2 or 3, please check for that token before transfer any tokens. If Hippo does not support the token you'd like to transfer, you'll have to transfer another token instead.

Step 2: Swap using Hippo

is an aggregator that finds you the cheapest way to swap from one token to another.

In their swap, select the token you loaded in Step 1 as the "Pay" token.

Then, select "tAPT" as the "Receive" token.

Hippo will show a preview of the swap. Confirm the swap.

Step 3: Use or hold your tAPT!
