Multi-Swap
The Multi-Swap instrument allows makers to post their intend for a token exchange. Taker can engage the issuance and complete the exchange.
The Multi-Swap instrument is similar to Swap but it allows multiple engagements to the same issuance. Maker defines the expected input token amount and output amount. When a taker engages with output token less than the expected output amount, the proportional amount of input token is swapped.
The image below shows the lifecycle of Multi-Swap issuance and engagement.

- When a multi-swap issuance is created and the input token is deposited, the multi-swap issuance becomes Engageable;
- When a taker engages the multi-swap issuance and deposits the output token
- If there is enough input token remaining, the multi-swap engagement is created and Complete with input token transferred to taker and output token transferred to maker
- If there is not enough input token remaining, the engagement transaction will fail
- If there is no input token left after this engagement, the multi-swap issuance is Complete
- When maker cancels an Engageable multi-swap issuance and there is no engagement, the multi-swap issuance becomes Cancelled and the deposited input token is returned;
- When the multi-swap issuance is due, the multi-swap is Complete and remaining input tokens are returned.
The multi-swap instrument is highly customizable. It defines a set of parameters which allows both Service providers and makers to customize the multi- instrument and its issuances.
The following parameters allow Service Provider to customize the multi-swap instrument. They are all defined in the multi-swap instrument contract.
