Market Orders (Swaps)
The fastest way to trade. Go to the Swap page, select your token pair, enter an amount, and confirm. XRPL.to's router checks both the order book and AMM pools to give you the best available price.
Market orders execute immediately at the current price. Best for small to medium trades where speed matters more than exact price.
Limit Orders
Set a specific price and wait for the market to come to you. On the token detail page, use the order book interface to place a buy or sell order at your target price. Your order sits on the ledger until it gets filled or you cancel it.
Limit orders are ideal for larger trades and for setting up buy targets. Read the limit orders guide for detailed instructions.
