# Initiate Swap Request

Once the base wallet is connected, you can proceed to initiate the Swap request:<br>

* Choose the swap pair by indicating your preferred base asset and quote asset.
* Specify your swap amount denominated in the base asset.

Fill in the recipient address manually or connect your recipient wallet and click on ‘Use My Wallet’, which will automatically insert your recipient address. Double-check to ensure all details are correct before proceeding.

The Swap is configured with default slippage settings. If you wish to adjust this, click on the icon at the top right corner of the Swap window and specify your custom settings.

Details of the Swap (e.g., Minimum output amount, allowed slippage, protocol fee, etc.) are listed in the ‘Swap details’ drop-down menu.

Once everything is correct, proceed by clicking on the Review button, which will bring you to a summary of your Swap.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.optimex.com/optimex-revolutionizing-bitcoin-finance/optimex-swap/user-guide/initiate-swap-request.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
