† On THORSwap and possibly other front-ends, it is possible to swap from asset X to Y with only the native chain for X connected. Simply enable the Custom Recipient Address feature in the Swap UI cog wheel, then manually enter the destination address for asset Y. (If you don't use this feature, then THORSwap automatically populates the recipient address for you, as long as you connect chains for both asset X and asset Y simultaneously. This can pose a problem for hardware wallets like Ledger, hence the aforementioned feature.)
‡ Transaction cost when claiming varies per native chain. For example, it's known that for BTC, a minimum of 0.00012 BTC is required. Other chains are more difficult to calculate. Please refer to gas trackers for whatever chain your asset is on, or simply try claiming and see if you get an insufficient balance error. Additionally, THORChain has minimum threshold amounts that must be met as well.
"Native chain" means whatever chain an asset lives on. Some examples:
