### Through a MAYAChain UI (eg. Asgardex, THORWallet)

1. Connect/Create wallet.
2. Transfer from the ASSET you want to swap from (eg. ETH).
3. In the memo field substitute the format for the actual values. Example:

   * `SWAP:MAYA.CACAO:maya1x5979k5wqgq58f4864glr7w2rtgyuqqm6l2zhy`

   or you can abbreviate it to:

   * `=:MAYA.CACAO:maya1x5979k5wqgq58f4864glr7w2rtgyuqqm6l2zhy`
4. In the amount field, type the amount you wish to swap
