# IST & PSM Forwarder

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Limited Developer Support**

All assets represented in this library are community built, which means limited support from the Agoric OpCo development team. Please use components, APIs, and front-ends with caution.  
{% endhint %}

## **Summary**

The IST & PSM Forwarder is a smart contract for interacting with Inter Protocol's Parity Stability Module (PSM) to exchange stable assets for IST. The contract:

1. Sends the IST received to the destination Agoric address received as an input
2. Trades that ERTP asset to the Agoric Parity Stability Module (PSM) in exchange for IST (assuming the PSM accepts this ERTP asset)
3. Receives an ERTP asset over an IBC transaction and a destination Agoric address as inputs

## **Details**

This contract will act as connective tissue to enable easier onboarding of IST from external stable tokens that are accepted by Inter Protocol's PSM (for example, Axelar\_USDC).
