### Choose Your Access Point

Open [`husher.io`](https://www.husher.io/) in your browser, or start a chat with [`HusherOfficialBot`](https://t.me/HusherOfficialBot) on Telegram.

Both the Web and Telegram interfaces use the same dashboard, execution logic, and features.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Select Assets, Amount & Execution Preferences

Choose the assets and execution options for your swap.

1. **Select input asset**\
   Choose the asset you are sending (e.g. BTC, ETH, USDT).
2. **Select output asset**\
   Choose the asset you want to receive.
3. **Enter amount**\
   Specify how much you want to swap.
4. **Select execution provider (optional)**
   * **Default:** Husher (Best Rate) automatically routes across multiple exchanges to optimize price and liquidity.
   * Advanced users may manually select a specific exchange provider (e.g. Binance, KuCoin).

**Optional settings:**

* **Fixed Rate:** locks the quoted rate and execution conditions.
* **Private Exchange:** routes execution through privacy-enhancing paths.
* **Multi-Wallet Exchange Split:** distributes the output across multiple destination addresses.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Review the Quote

Husher displays a clear preview including:

* Estimated output amount
* Transparent fee (shown upfront)
* Selected order type (Float, Fixed, or Private)
* Expected execution timing
* Any relevant network notes

Rates are live. Review all details carefully before proceeding.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Send Your Input Funds

Husher provides a one-time deposit address generated by the execution provider.

Send funds from your wallet directly to this address.

**Important network rule**\
Always send funds on the correct network (e.g. BTC on Bitcoin, ETH on Ethereum).\
Sending on the wrong network may result in permanent loss.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Fixed-Rate Orders: Important Timing Rules**
{% endhint %}

**If you selected a Fixed-Rate order, the following rules apply:**

* Funds must be sent within 15 minutes of order creation
* Deposits after 15 minutes are automatically refunded
* Deposits below the required minimum cancel the order and are refunded
* Deposits above the required amount still return only the promised output amount
* The rate is locked, you receive the exact quoted amount, even if the market moves

These rules ensure price certainty and are a common cause of failed swaps if not followed.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Track & Receive

You can monitor progress directly in the web interface or Telegram Exchange.

Typical execution timing:

* Simple (Float) swaps: seconds to \~30 seconds
* Fixed-Rate swaps: similar timing once deposit confirms
* Private Mode swaps: longer due to privacy routing (typically several minutes)

Output assets are delivered directly to your wallet(s).\
Husher never holds funds.

### Confirm Receipt

Check your wallet to confirm the funds have arrived.\
Once received, your swap is complete.

Safety tip\
For your first swap, always start with a small test amount (e.g. $20 to $50 equivalent) before scaling up.
