ETH → DOT: swap details at ROVEN exchange
To switch from Ethereum to Polkadot you don’t need to sell for dollars first and then buy again. ROVEN exchange does it in one step: one order, one rate, one payout.
Ethereum (ETH) is the leading platform for smart contracts, DeFi and ERC20 tokens. Polkadot (DOT) is Gavin Wood’s network that unites many parachain blockchains under shared security.
Why swap ETH for DOT
Coins serve different purposes, and sometimes holding DOT makes more sense — for faster transfers, staking or the Polkadot ecosystem. With DOT you get access to the apps, staking and tokens of the Polkadot network.
Networks and addresses
| You send ETH | You receive DOT | |
|---|---|---|
| Network | Ethereum (ERC20) | Polkadot |
| Address | “0x” + 40 characters | starts with “1” |
| Network speed | a block comes every 12 seconds | a block comes every 6 seconds |
| Memo / tag | Not needed | Not needed |
What to watch out for
- Send ETH on Ethereum mainnet, not on Arbitrum, Base or other layer-2 networks.
- A new Polkadot address must receive at least 1 DOT, the account’s minimum balance.
- Send the exact amount from the order and do it within 30 minutes, while the locked rate is valid.
How long the swap takes
Swap speed depends on both networks. On Ethereum (ERC20), a block comes every 12 seconds; on Polkadot, a block comes every 6 seconds. The whole ETH to DOT swap usually takes 5 to 30 minutes once your transfer is confirmed.
The current rate is 1 ETH = 2 413.44 DOT and the minimum amount is 0.02 ETH. Create an order in the form above, and ROVEN exchange will send swap updates by email or Telegram.
