# Token Swaps

<figure><img src="/files/mNzjfrTO3v8euQgoc7Lz" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Decentralized exchange is where you can trade one Token for another. There will be thousands of Cryptocurrencies on the Core blockchain and using ShadowSwap Dex, you can discover and trade them with as little as one click and fast transaction execution.

To Trade a Token on the Decentralized Exchange, there must be Liquidity. The liquidity provided to the Exchange comes from Liquidity Providers ("LPs") who stake their tokens in "Pools". In exchange, they get LP (Liquidity Provider) tokens, which can also be staked to earn SHDW tokens in the "farm".

When you make a token swap (trade) on the exchange you will pay a 0.3% trading fee, which is broken down as follows:

**0.20%** - Paid to liquidity pools in the form of a trading fee for liquidity providers.

**0.05%** - Sent to the ShadowSwap Treasury.

**0.05% -** Sent towards SHDW buyback and burn.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://shadow-11.gitbook.io/shadowswap/products/exchange/token-swaps.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
