Swap ADA to DOT

Exchange ADA from Cardano into DOT on Polkadot. The provider waits for the ADA deposit before arranging the DOT payout on the destination network. Track those as separate transactions rather than using a sending-chain confirmation as proof of receipt.

Cardano to Polkadot (Mainnet)

You send: CardanoADA · Mainnet
You receive: Polkadot (Mainnet)DOT · Mainnet

Enter your amount to check live availability for ADA on Mainnet → DOT on Mainnet. A provider quote is required before you can create a swap.

Address and network checks

Use the order’s Cardano deposit address for ADA, and your own Polkadot receiving address for DOT. Keep the refund address on Cardano; the payout address is not automatically a valid refund destination.

Sending ADA

Choose Cardano using the Mainnet option shown in this directory. Follow the selected provider’s exact deposit instructions before sending. Use a Cardano payment/receiving address from your wallet. A staking reward address is used for a different purpose and should not be substituted for a regular receiving address.

For a standard self-custody transfer on Cardano, allow for network fees in ADA in addition to the amount you send. Wallet sponsorship and exchange withdrawal charges can differ; check the sending wallet’s final fee.

Receiving DOT

Choose Polkadot using the Mainnet option shown in this directory. Follow the selected provider’s exact deposit instructions before sending. The provider labels this entry Mainnet. Check the exact DOT deposit network shown in the final order and in your wallet; do not infer support for every parachain or transfer route from the DOT ticker. This listed DOT/Mainnet option has no separate memo field. If your destination requires additional instructions that this form cannot supply, choose another compatible destination before creating an order.

Refund address for this pair

Enter a refund address that accepts ADA on Mainnet. The refund is sent in ADA on Mainnet; verify that your refund wallet supports this exact asset and network.
