# Hikari Swap Overview **HikariSwap** is a product released from Hikari Labs that allows project founders, whales, and everyone in between to execute trades in dark pools and lit markets to prevent unneccsary slippage on their transaction. The HikariSwap utilizes a **private OTC pool** that stores user tokens and trade orders together. Once a counterparty has been found - we automatically initiate a private transfer of the tokens without the use of a swap protocol. HikariSwap also utilizes **various execution algorithms** across swap protocols to strategically execute transactions on behalf of the user with little to no slippage. This means that the users will have a full range of tools at their disposal to trade their tokens whether they are looking to buy or sell safely. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
