Most DOT to ARB swaps are paid out within 5–15 minutes: the DOT deposit needs under a minute to confirm on Polkadot, then the ARB is sent to your wallet, and Arbitrum One confirms the payout in about a minute. Busy networks can add a few minutes. ### How much is 1 DOT in ARB? 1 DOT is worth about 6.0082 ARB at the market rate, before fees (market prices, 8 Oct 2026). GhostSwap's quote in the exchange box already includes the service fee and the ARB network fee. The rate floats with the market until your DOT deposit confirms, so the exchange box shows the exact amount before you send. ### Do I need KYC or an account to exchange DOT to ARB? No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Arbitrum One address that should receive the ARB, send DOT from your own wallet, and the ARB goes straight to that address. No email, phone number or ID upload. ### What are the fees for converting Polkadot to Arbitrum? The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the ARB amount you see is what you receive. On top of that, the Polkadot network fee for your deposit is paid in DOT by your wallet. ### What wallet should I use to receive ARB? To receive Arbitrum from your swap, we recommend using MetaMask or Rabby. Make sure your wallet supports the Arbitrum One (Ethereum layer 2) network before starting the exchange. Double-check your ARB address before confirming, cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed. ### What format is the ARB address? Use an Arbitrum One address: it starts with 0x followed by 40 hexadecimal characters. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand. Sending ARB to an address on another network can lose the coins. ### Can I track my DOT to ARB swap? Yes. After initiating your swap, GhostSwap provides a transaction status page where you can monitor progress in real-time. You can also track your DOT payment on Subscan (https://polkadot.subscan.io) and your incoming ARB on Arbiscan (https://arbiscan.io). ### Is it safe to exchange DOT for ARB on GhostSwap? GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your DOT deposit is converted and the ARB is sent straight to the Arbitrum One address you enter, so check that address twice, Arbitrum One transfers cannot be reversed. ### How does a cross-chain DOT to ARB swap work? Polkadot lives on Polkadot and Arbitrum on Arbitrum One, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your DOT on Polkadot and pays native ARB on Arbitrum One, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees. ### What happens if my DOT to ARB exchange fails? If a swap cannot be completed, the DOT is refunded to the Polkadot address you entered as the sender address. If something looks stuck, contact support with your swap ID from the status page. Most problems come from sending a different amount than shown or using an address on the wrong network. ## Related - [Reverse: ARB to DOT](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/arb-dot/) ([Markdown](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/arb-dot.md)) - [All GhostSwap pairs](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/) - [How to exchange](https://ghostswap.io/how-to-exchange/) - [Site guide for AI assistants](https://ghostswap.io/llms.txt)
