DOT

What is Polkadot?

Polkadot (DOT) is a multi-chain protocol that connects different blockchains into a unified network, enabling them to communicate and share data securely. Founded by Ethereum co-founder Gavin Wood, Polkadot uses a unique relay chain architecture with specialized parachains that can be optimized for different use cases. DOT tokens are used for governance, staking, and bonding parachains to the network. Polkadot's vision of an interoperable blockchain ecosystem addresses one of crypto's biggest challenges — fragmented liquidity and isolated chains.

DRIFT

What is Drift?

Drift is a decentralized exchange (DEX) that focuses on perpetual futures trading. Built on Solana, it offers high-speed transactions with low fees. Drift aims to provide a user-friendly platform for advanced trading strategies.

DOT to DRIFT: questions and answers

Everything you need to know about exchanging DOT to DRIFT on GhostSwap.

How long does it take to swap DOT to DRIFT on GhostSwap?
Most DOT to DRIFT swaps are paid out within 5–15 minutes: the DOT deposit needs under a minute to confirm on Polkadot, then the DRIFT is sent to your wallet, and Solana confirms the payout in under a minute. Busy networks can add a few minutes.
Do I need KYC or an account to exchange DOT to DRIFT?
No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Solana address that should receive the DRIFT, send DOT from your own wallet, and the DRIFT goes straight to that address. No email, phone number or ID upload.
What are the fees for converting Polkadot to Drift?
The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the DRIFT 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 DRIFT?
To receive Drift from your swap, we recommend using Phantom, Solflare or a Ledger. Make sure your wallet supports the Solana (SPL token) network before starting the exchange. Double-check your DRIFT address before confirming, cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.
What format is the DRIFT address?
Use a Solana address: it is 32–44 letters and numbers with no 0x prefix. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand. Sending DRIFT to an address on another network can lose the coins.
Can I track my DOT to DRIFT 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 DRIFT on Solscan (https://solscan.io).
Is it safe to exchange DOT for DRIFT on GhostSwap?
GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your DOT deposit is converted and the DRIFT is sent straight to the Solana address you enter, so check that address twice, Solana transfers cannot be reversed.
How does a cross-chain DOT to DRIFT swap work?
Polkadot lives on Polkadot and Drift on Solana, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your DOT on Polkadot and pays native DRIFT on Solana, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees.
What happens if my DOT to DRIFT 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.
