1. 01
   Get a DOT to BCH quote

   Enter how much Polkadot you want to convert. You see the live DOT to BCH rate, both fees and the exact Bitcoin Cash you will receive before you commit.

2. 02
   Send your Polkadot

   You get a Polkadot (DOT) deposit address and an exact amount. Send it from any Polkadot wallet — scanning the QR code fills in both where your wallet supports it.

3. 03
   Receive Bitcoin Cash (BCH)

   Once the DOT deposit confirms on-chain, Bitcoin Cash is sent to the Bitcoin Cash address you gave. Track it on the swap’s status page, no login needed.

What does the DOT to BCH rate mean?

It is how much Bitcoin Cash (BCH) you receive for each Polkadot (DOT) 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 DOT to BCH?

Enter the amount of DOT in the widget, choose BCH as what you receive, and give a Bitcoin Cash address. You are shown a deposit address and an exact DOT amount; send that amount and the BCH is paid to your address once the deposit confirms. No account is needed at any step.

What are the fees to exchange DOT for BCH?

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 Bitcoin Cash payout transaction. There is nothing added afterwards — the BCH amount in the quote is the BCH amount that arrives.

What is the minimum DOT/BCH exchange amount?

$100 worth, shown in the widget as an amount of DOT at the current rate. There is no maximum imposed by the site beyond available Bitcoin Cash liquidity, and no verification at any size.

Do I need an ID to swap DOT to BCH?

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 DOT to BCH swaps take?

Polkadot deposits usually confirm in a few 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 Bitcoin Cash address should I give?

Any address in a format Bitcoin Cash accepts: CashAddr format (q… or bitcoincash:q…) is standard; some wallets still show legacy 1… addresses.

What happens if my DOT 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 DOT. 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 BCH back to DOT?

Yes — every pair works in both directions. The BCH to DOT page is linked below.

• How on-chain deposit confirmations actually work

  What a confirmation is, why "6 confirmations" means nothing on Ethereum or Solana, and why a transaction being visible is not the same as it being safe to act on.
