Swapping Dash for Polkadot: what you need to know
Exchanging DASH for DOT is useful when you rebalance a portfolio or want to move from one network to another without buying stablecoins in between. At ROVEN exchange the coins are swapped directly, and the rate is locked when you create the order.
Dash (DASH) is “digital cash” with masternodes and instant InstantSend payment locking. Polkadot (DOT) is Gavin Wood’s network that unites many parachain blockchains under shared security.
Why swap DASH for DOT
Shifting between DASH and DOT is a normal part of managing a portfolio: you change your exposure without cashing out to fiat. With DOT you get access to the apps, staking and tokens of the Polkadot network.
Networks and addresses
| You send DASH | You receive DOT | |
|---|---|---|
| Network | Dash | Polkadot |
| Address | “X…” or “7…” | starts with “1” |
| Network speed | InstantSend locks a payment within a couple of seconds | a block comes every 6 seconds |
| Memo / tag | Not needed | Not needed |
What to watch out for
- Send DASH on the Dash network only; CoinJoin isn’t needed for a swap.
- A new Polkadot address must receive at least 1 DOT, the account’s minimum balance.
- The rate is locked for 30 minutes: send DASH within that time and you’ll receive exactly the amount shown in the order.
How long the swap takes
Swap speed depends on both networks. On Dash, InstantSend locks a payment within a couple of seconds; on Polkadot, a block comes every 6 seconds. The whole DASH to DOT swap usually takes 5 to 30 minutes once your transfer is confirmed.
Right now ROVEN exchange swaps DASH for DOT at 1 DASH = 52.122302 DOT, with a minimum of 0.377358 DASH. Fill in the form above: no sign-up is needed, and you can track the order status online.
