MetaMask now integrates swapping directly into the send transaction flow, simplifying payments. This feature allows you to:
- Spend any token from your wallet while letting the recipient receive their preferred token.
- Avoid separate swaps—convert crypto during the transfer (e.g., send ETH even if the recipient requests DAI).
- Streamline approvals with a single confirmation, reducing steps.
Current Availability
- ✅ Supported: MetaMask Extension (all swap-enabled networks).
- 🔄 Coming Soon: Mobile app & Portfolio.

- Settling bills with airdropped tokens or memecoins.
- Tipping service providers via QR codes (e.g., stablecoins to a barista).
