Swap DOT to ADA

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

Polkadot (Mainnet) to Cardano

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

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

Address and network checks

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

Sending 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.

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

Receiving 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. This listed ADA/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 DOT on Mainnet. The refund is sent in DOT on Mainnet; verify that your refund wallet supports this exact asset and network.
