What is ORCA used for in swaps?
ORCA appears in routes where users want to move into, out of, or across the defi asset bucket without relying on a custodial exchange flow.
This hub surfaces the supported networks, the strongest send and receive routes, and the intent patterns that show how ORCA is actually used inside the broader route graph.
ORCA route overview
ORCA route pages are strongest when they explain why this asset appears in certain send and receive flows, which networks support it best, and which related routes users commonly choose next. This hub is designed to surface those patterns rather than show a flat list of links.
Supported networks
Each supported network changes cost, compatibility, and wallet expectations. Use the right rail for the wallet or ecosystem you plan to use next.
Popular ways to swap from ORCA
Altcoins into Bitcoin
Routes that rotate a non-Bitcoin asset into BTC as a more conservative destination.
Altcoins into stablecoins
Routes that exit a volatile asset into ORCA for a more stable landing asset.
Between ecosystem assets
Routes that move between ecosystems without using ORCA as a stable stop in the middle.
Useful when the user wants to switch ecosystems or rebalance from ORCA into ETH while keeping the send and receive flow wallet-native.
Between ecosystem assetsUseful when the user wants to switch ecosystems or rebalance from ORCA into TON while keeping the send and receive flow wallet-native.
Popular ways to receive ORCA
Stablecoins into other ecosystems
Routes that push ORCA into another chain or app ecosystem without stopping in a custodial exchange account.
Useful when the user wants to deploy stablecoin value into native ORCA on Solana for activity in the destination ecosystem.

FAQ
What role does ORCA play in swap routes?
ORCA can appear as a send asset, a receive asset, or both depending on whether users are entering its ecosystem, leaving it, or rotating through it as part of a broader route.
Do I need a dedicated ORCA wallet before swapping?
Yes. The destination wallet or address format still needs to match the selected receive network, so the receiving setup should be ready before the route is created.
How do network choices change ORCA swaps?
Network choice changes wallet compatibility, transfer cost, and sometimes memo requirements. That is why this hub highlights the supported network rails rather than treating every ORCA route as interchangeable.
Can I use ORCA in non-custodial swaps without creating an exchange account?
That is the core idea of these routes: the builder sets the pair and network context first, then the shift page handles deposit instructions and status tracking without turning the flow into a custodial exchange workflow.
