# Cross-Chain Swap
## Overview
Executes a cross-chain token swap — swapping a token on one chain for a different (or same) token on another chain. Delegates the full workflow to the `cross-chain-executor` agent, which handles quoting, route evaluation, safety checks, bridge monitoring, and destination confirmation.
## When to Use
Activate when the user asks:
- "Swap ETH on Arbitrum for USDC on Base"
- "Cross-chain swap"
- "Buy USDC on Optimism using ETH from mainnet"
- "Move my ETH from Ethereum to Arbitrum and convert to USDC"
- "Swap tokens across chains"
- "Exchange X on chain A for Y on chain B"
## Parameters
| Parameter | Required | Default | Description |
| ---------------- | -------- | ---------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| tokenIn | Yes | — | Input token symbol or address on source chain |
| tokenOut | Yes | — | Output token symbol or address on destination chain |
| amount | Yes | — | Amount to swap (human-readable, e.g., "1.5" or "1000") |
| sourceChain | Yes | — | Source chain name (e.g., "ethereum", "arbitrum") |
| destChain | Yes | — | Destination chain name (e.g., "base", "optimism") |
| slippage | No | auto | Slippage tolerance (e.g., "0.5" for 0.5%) |
| recipient | No | Same wallet| Recipient address on destination chain |
## Workflow
1. **Extract parameters** from the user's request. Identify:
- Which token they want to send and on which chain.
- Which token they want to receive and on which chain.
- The amount to swap.
- Resolve ambiguous chain references (e.g., "mainnet" = "ethereum").
2. **Validate inputs**:
- Verify both chains are supported via `mcp__uniswap__getSupportedChains`.
- Verify tokens exist on their respective chains via `mcp__uniswap__getTokenInfo`.
- If source and destination chain are the same: redirect to `execute-swap` skill instead.
3. **Delegate to cross-chain-executor**: Invoke `Task(subagent_type:cross-chain-executor)` with:
- tokenIn, tokenOut, amount, sourceChain, destChain, slippage, recipient.
- The agent handles the full 7-step workflow: quote, risk assessment, safety check, execution, bridge monitoring, confirmation, and reporting.
4. **Present results**: Format the execution report for the user, highlighting:
- Amounts sent and received.
- Total fees (gas + bridge).
- Settlement time.
- Any warnings from safety or risk checks.
## Output Format
```text
Cross-Chain Swap Complete
Source: 1.5 ETH on Ethereum
Destination: 2,850.25 USDC on Base
Fees: $3.50 (gas: $2.50, bridge: $1.00)
Settlement: 2 min 35 sec
Source Tx: 0xabc...123
Bridge ID: 0x789...abc
Dest Tx: 0xdef...456
Risk: LOW | Safety: APPROVED
```
## Important Notes
- Cross-chain swaps involve bridge operations that take time to settle (typically 1-10 minutes).
- The skill will monitor the bridge and report status updates during settlement.
- Bridge fees and slippage apply in addition to normal swap fees.
- If the bridge gets stuck, the executor will escalate with recovery instructions.
## Error Handling
| Error | User-Facing Message | Suggested Action |
| ---------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------ |
| Unsupported chain | "Chain [name] is not supported for cross-chain swaps." | Check supported chains |
| Same chain | "Source and destination are the same chain. Use a regular swap." | Use execute-swap skill |
| Safety veto | "This swap was blocked by safety checks: [reason]." | Reduce amount or check token |
| Risk veto | "Risk assessment vetoed: [reason]." | Choose a different route or amount |
| Bridge stuck | "Bridge settlement is taking longer than expected." | Wait or check order ID manually |
| Bridge failed | "Bridge operation failed. Funds should remain on source chain." | Check source wallet balance |
| Insufficient balance | "Not enough [token] on [chain] to execute this swap." | Check balance and reduce amount |
