# Step-by-step swap guide

> Initiate and complete a swapXFG atomic swap.

Flow is the same idea across pairs; endpoints and chain daemons differ.

## Prerequisites

* Synced `fuegod`
* SwapDaemon configured for the pair
* Counterparty chain node/RPC as required
* XFG (or counterparty asset) funded
* A counterparty online on the same offer/protocol

## Initiate

Via TUI / RPC (names vary):

```
initiate <counterparty> <amount> <ASSET>
```

Save the **swap ID**.

## Monitor

```bash theme={null}
curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:28080/getswapstatus \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"swap_id": "YOUR_SWAP_ID"}'
```

```bash theme={null}
curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:28080/listswaps \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{}'
```

## States (adaptor path sketch)

```
keys exchanged → escrow funded → presigs ready
  → counterparty locked → secret revealed
  → success  OR  refunded
```

On success, the **2% protocol fee** (1% initiation + 1% claim) is taken and routed **69% CD / 11% Bonus / 20% Treasury**.

## Counterparty disappears

Wait for timelock → [refund](/features/atomic-swaps/fees-and-timeouts). Do not double-spend manual recoveries outside the daemon state machine.
