Why exchange Bitcoin (BTC) to Polkadot (DOT)?
Exchange BTC for DOT and the Polkadot goes to an address you control. No account to open, no balance left with us.
The BTC/DOT exchange rate, the network fee and the swap fee are shown before you send a single BTC. The DOT amount quoted is the DOT amount you get.
Nothing is asked of you beyond a Polkadot address. Send the exact BTC figure shown on your swap page, including every decimal place — a rounded amount needs manual review and takes longer.
Sending Bitcoin
Bitcoin is the original proof-of-work cryptocurrency and the most widely held digital asset; its ledger is fully public.
Bitcoin blocks arrive about 10 minutes, so a deposit usually confirms in 10–30 minutes.
Your BTC deposit is verified on the Bitcoin network before the swap proceeds — typically 10–30 minutes after you send.
You can fund the deposit from any Bitcoin wallet or exchange; the sending address type does not matter.
Receiving Polkadot
Polkadot is a network of interconnected chains secured by a shared relay chain; DOT is its native asset.
Your Polkadot goes to the address you give, and only that address. Accepted formats: Polkadot addresses start with 1.
The payout is sent once your deposit is confirmed. Polkadot blocks arrive about 6 seconds, so it is usually spendable within minutes of being sent.

Bitcoin (BTC) to Polkadot (DOT) FAQ
- What does the BTC to DOT rate mean?
- It is how much Polkadot (DOT) you receive for each Bitcoin (BTC) you send, taken from live market prices at the moment you ask for a quote. The rate moves with the market, so you have 60 minutes to accept a quote and create the swap; the widget refreshes it automatically if you take longer. Funding the swap once it exists has its own separate deadline, shown on your swap page.
- How do I convert BTC to DOT?
- Enter the amount of BTC in the widget, choose DOT as what you receive, and give a Polkadot address. You are shown a deposit address and an exact BTC amount; send that amount and the DOT is paid to your address once the deposit confirms. No account is needed at any step.
- What are the fees to exchange BTC for DOT?
- Two, both shown in the quote before you send: a swap fee of 0.5% of the amount, and a network-fee charge for the Polkadot payout transaction. There is nothing added afterwards — the DOT amount in the quote is the DOT amount that arrives.
- What is the minimum BTC/DOT exchange amount?
- $100 worth, shown in the widget as an amount of BTC at the current rate. There is no maximum imposed by the site beyond available Polkadot liquidity, and no verification at any size.
- Do I need an ID to swap BTC to DOT?
- No. There is no KYC, no account and no email required. A swap is identified by its link, which shows its status without logging in. Creating an account is optional and only keeps your swap history in one place.
- How long do BTC to DOT swaps take?
- Bitcoin deposits usually confirm in 10–30 minutes, after which the deposit is verified on-chain. Swap times vary by asset and by how quickly its network confirms. Your swap status page shows the current stage throughout the process.
- Which Polkadot address should I give?
- Any address in a format Polkadot accepts: Polkadot addresses start with 1.
- What happens if my BTC deposit is late or the swap expires?
- There are two separate deadlines. The quote itself is held for 60 minutes — that is how long you have to accept the price and create the swap. Once the swap exists you get a separate funding window, shown on your swap page, to send the BTC. If your deposit arrives after that window closes, the status page shows Expired and the swap moves to Review required; it is then completed at the current rate or refunded to your refund address. Nothing is lost by being late — a late deposit just needs review before it is processed.
- Can I swap DOT back to BTC?
- Yes — every pair works in both directions. The DOT to BTC page is linked below.
