Wrapping and Unwrapping Native Tokens

Sometimes, users may want to swap a wrapped native token into the actual native token, a process known as "unwrapping." Conversely, converting a native token into its wrapped version is called "wrapping." Essentially, these are the same token, but wrapping the native token transforms it into an ERC-20 token, which provides additional functionality not supported by native tokens, such as integration with smart contracts or DeFi protocols.

In our API, we cannot facilitate these swaps, as they are not real trades. There are no quotes involved, and the conversion is always a 1:1 ratio since it's the same underlying asset. We recommend that integrators handle this directly in their UI and utilize the chain’s native wrap/unwrap methods (for EVM networks) to perform the conversion.
