## Wrap & UnWrap via Swap Router

Alternatively, the Swap Router provides a streamlined solution for converting available digital assets into desired wrapped assets, simplifying the entire process. Similarly, unwrapping is just as straightforward - wrapped assets can be traded directly for any available digital asset.

For example, consider John Doe, who notices that lYEL has an attractive APR. John has WETH in his wallet and wants to acquire lYEL. Instead of manually swapping WETH to YEL and then wrapping it into Potions, he can directly swap WETH to lYEL using the Swap Router on Yel Finance.&#x20;

By holding lYEL, John is essentially depositing into the vault, but in a more efficient manner, as he directly purchases a yield-bearing asset without the need for additional steps. This functionality reduces complexity, saving time while ensuring optimal user convenience.

If John later decides to unwrap lYEL back into WETH, he can do so effortlessly using the Swap Router in the same manner.
