Rainbow’s new contract RainbowRouter is now available on Ethereum Mainnet, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, Base, Zora, and BSC.
In this article, we’ll guide you through the process of swapping and/or bridging these tokens on either your Android or iOS devices along with the different resources at your disposal.
Instructions:
On the main screen, tap on the Swap button.
From here, you can either search for the token you’re looking to swap, or select from the tokens in your wallet.
You’ll then be brought to the swap screen where you can input the amount your looking to swap. Now, let’s select what you’re looking to swap to.
4. Next is the Receive screen where you can either search for the token, or again, select from the tokens in your wallet:
From this screen, you can also select which network you’d like to swap on. For the examples below, I’m swapping on Ethereum Mainnet.
Additionally on this screen, you can also choose to bridge your funds from one network to another. In this example, I’ve selected ETH on Arbitrum.
5. Once you select the receiving token, you’ll then be brought back to the main swap screen. There are a few things we can toggle and customize on this screen before reviewing to tailor your experience:
You can click ⬆️⬇️ Flip to switch the tokens for the swap.
You can click Settings which will allow further customizations:
Choose Swap Routes: By default, Rainbow chooses the cheapest route possible for your swap. If you prefer to specifically use either 0x or 1inch, you can also do that! For more information, check out our 🌈 Swap with Confidence with Rainbow article.
Toggle Flashbots: Flashbots protects your transactions from frontrunning and sandwich attacks, which might result in you getting a worse price or your transaction failing. For more information, check out our 🤖 Protecting Transactions with Flashbots article.
Edit the Slippage: Slippage occurs when the price of a swap changes during the time between you submitting your transaction and its confirmation. You can check out additional resources here.
You can also select the Defaults option at any time.
Once you have your settings confirmed, you’ll then be brought to your transaction review page. Here, you’ll receive all the necessary details including:
Minimum Received
Swapping Via
Rainbow Fee Breakdown

Next, tap and hold on the "Hold to Swap" button to authenticate the trade using your device's biometric or passcode.
After the transaction confirms, you will see the trade in your transaction history.
Return to history screen and wait for your balances to update. This may take a few minutes, and you can pull down to refresh!
⚠️ Anyone can create a token and name it whatever they want. Always be sure you are swapping for the token you actually want by using trusted lists or by checking the token's contract address and verifying it against the official source.
