About Polkadot (DOT)

Layer-1 blockchain

Polkadot (DOT) is a Layer-1 blockchain — a base network with its own consensus, validators, and native coin (DOT) used to pay fees and secure the chain. Developers build applications directly on it, and DOT is the asset that powers the whole ecosystem.

How does Polkadot work?

The Polkadot network is maintained by a distributed set of participants who validate transactions and add them to the blockchain. DOT is required to pay for transactions and, on many networks, to stake and help secure the chain in exchange for rewards.

What is DOT used for?

DOT pays network fees, can often be staked for yield, and serves as the core unit of value across apps built on Polkadot. Demand for DOT tends to track activity and adoption on the network itself.

  2. Choose which crypto you're paying with.
  3. SwapRocket compares every connected exchange and surfaces the best rate.

How a DOT swap works

Enter the amount you want to exchange, pick the asset on the other side, and SwapRocket queries every connected exchange partner at once. You choose an offer, paste the wallet address that should receive the funds, and send DOT to the deposit address shown. The partner executes the trade and pays out to your address — SwapRocket never holds your coins, and there is no account to create before you start.

Choosing a rate for DOT

Three offers are presented for every DOT exchange. The best rate returns the largest amount for the size you entered. The fastest route favours the partner with the shortest expected settlement time, which matters when the market is moving. The fixed rate locks the quoted amount for the duration of the order, so what you are shown is what arrives, at the cost of a slightly smaller payout. Floating offers can move with the market between deposit and settlement.

Networks and addresses for DOT

Polkadot settles on Polkadot. Always send from and to an address on that network: a deposit sent over a different chain cannot be recovered by the exchange partner. When an asset exists on several chains, pick the matching network in the widget before copying the deposit address, and send a small test amount first if you are unsure.
