# How to Trade

Once you have connected your wallet to [app.9inch.io](https://app.9inch.io/swap) you can swap/trade between any tokens that have [liquidity](/9inch-gitbook/tips-tricks-and-guides/beginners-guide-to-defi/how-to-add-remove-liquidity.md) on 9inch. If you have not yet connected your wallet, see guide [here](/9inch-gitbook/tips-tricks-and-guides/beginners-guide-to-defi/connect-your-wallet-to-9inch.md).

To trade, you need ERC20 or PRC20 tokens. Check guide [here](/9inch-gitbook/tips-tricks-and-guides/beginners-guide-to-defi/get-erc20-prc20-tokens.md).

Your wallet will ask you to review the transaction and gas fees. If everything is ok you can confirm it on the wallet.

Depending on the congestion of the blockchain, the swap will take anywhere from 10 seconds to 9 inches. Don't forget to add the new token to your wallet's active tokens list. You can do this easily by pressing the corresponding button **\[Add XXX to Wallet]** while you wait for the blockchain to complete the transaction. After a while you will see the tokens in your wallet.
