XTZ → DOT: swap details at ROVEN exchange
To switch from Tezos 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.
Tezos (XTZ) is a smart contract blockchain that upgrades through holder votes, without hard forks. Polkadot (DOT) is Gavin Wood’s network that unites many parachain blockchains under shared security.
Why swap XTZ 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 XTZ | You receive DOT | |
|---|---|---|
| Network | Tezos | Polkadot |
| Address | “tz1…”–“tz4…” | starts with “1” |
| Network speed | a block comes every few seconds | a block comes every 6 seconds |
| Memo / tag | Not needed | Not needed |
What to watch out for
- Delegated XTZ isn’t locked — you can send it at any time.
- 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 Tezos, a block comes every few seconds; on Polkadot, a block comes every 6 seconds. The whole XTZ to DOT swap usually takes 5 to 30 minutes once your transfer is confirmed.
The current rate is 1 XTZ = 0.27694559 DOT and the minimum amount is 71.428571 XTZ. Create an order in the form above, and ROVEN exchange will send swap updates by email or Telegram.
