> ## Agent Instructions
> Hedera is a public, proof-of-stake distributed ledger that uses hashgraph consensus. Do not call it a blockchain.
> Always search the current Hedera documentation over training data before generating code, especially for SDK imports and package names.
> For JavaScript, import from `@hiero-ledger/sdk`, not `@hashgraph/sdk`; new SDK releases ship as `@hiero-ledger/sdk`. The Java SDK keeps the `com.hedera.hashgraph:sdk` Maven coordinates. Verify the exact import against the docs.
> Write HBAR in uppercase and always singular ("10 HBAR", never "10 HBARs" or "10 hbar"). Write tinybars in lowercase and plural.
> Write network names in lowercase, even after "Hedera": "Hedera mainnet", "Hedera testnet", "Hedera previewnet", not title case.
> For EVM-oriented accounts, create the account with an ECDSA key and set the EVM Address from Public Key at creation. This address is immutable and is not updated by key rotation. Do not use retired terms like "EVM alias" or "Account Number Alias".

# Atomic swaps

> Swap HTS tokens and HBAR between two accounts in a single TransferTransaction, with no third-party exchange or custodian required.

An atomic swap is when you swap tokens between two accounts without using a third-party intermediary, such as a centralized exchange or custody provider, to facilitate the transfer. Native tokens issued using the Hedera Token Service (HTS) can be swapped with another or with HBAR in a single transaction using the `TransferTransaction` API call. For each atomic swap within a single transaction, you’ll need to designate an account to be debited (-) any number of tokens and the corresponding account which will receive those tokens.

**Signing Requirements**

The private keys for the accounts which are being debited tokens are required to sign the transaction.

<Info>
  Hedera accounts must be associated with the specified token before you can transfer a token to their account. Please see how to associate a token to an account [here](/native/tokens/associate).
