# Streaming Swaps

Streaming Swaps break a swap into smaller parts for execution, making large trades more viable.

If you're making a **larger swap**, Thorwallet will automatically choose the **best route** to maximize your output

* For large swaps, the app may automatically use a **streaming swap**, which helps reduce slippage and improve results.
* You can tap on the **“Routes” or “Paths”** option to:
  * View details about the selected route
  * Compare alternative paths
  * Manually switch routes based on your preference

> 💡 By default, the app picks the most efficient route for your swap.

By using Streaming Swaps, users will incur very low slippage fees for larger swaps, though the process may be time-consuming. Depending on the swap size and selected parameters (e.g., number of sub-swaps, block swap interval), it could take a few hours for the swap to complete.
