# No Wallet Connect

> Swap without needing to connect your wallet, using a manual deposit address.

## **What is a No Wallet Connect Swap?**

A No Wallet Connect Swap allows you to exchange assets without connecting a browser wallet or signing digital messages.

Instead of a standard "Connect Wallet" flow, you are provided with a unique, ***one-time Deposit Address***. You simply send your tokens to that address from any source (hardware wallet, exchange, or mobile app), and the protocol handles the rest.

<Info>
  **Core Features:**

  * **Secure:** No "Approve" or "Sign" transactions are required. Wallet connections are often cited as the most common security risk
  * **Middle-Ground Privacy:** Offers higher privacy than a standard on-chain swap by breaking the direct contract link, though it provides less anonymity than a Private Swap.
  * **Efficiency:** Faster execution than Private Swaps due to a streamlined, single-leg routing process.
</Info>

## **How it Works**

The process moves from your source wallet through an off-chain liquidity layer to your destination wallet:

1. **Initiate:** Request a swap from any token, any chain, and receive a temporary deposit address.
2. **Deposit:** Manually send **Token A** from your source chain to the provided address.
3. **Exchange:** Once received, the funds are routed through an exchange partner where **Token A** is converted to **Token B**.
4. **Delivery:** **Token B** is sent directly to your designated receiver wallet on the target chain.

<Tip>
  From an external perspective, observers can see the incoming and outgoing transfers, but there is no on-chain contract interaction or wallet signature tying the two movements directly to your personal wallet.
