## Polkadot to Ethereum: sending DOT from Asset Hub

DOT to ETH turns Polkadot into native Ether on Ethereum mainnet, for Ethereum apps or a move between ecosystems. You receive real ETH at your own 0x address, not a wrapped or bridged token, and there is no account or ID.

Since the Asset Hub migration on 4 November 2025, DOT balances live on Polkadot Asset Hub, and GhostSwap expects the deposit to come from there. The DOT confirms in under a minute, and the ETH payout takes about 2–5 minutes to confirm on Ethereum.

### Tips

- Ethereum addresses start with 0x followed by 40 hex characters. The ETH is paid on mainnet, not on Arbitrum, Base or another layer 2.
- Send DOT from an up-to-date Nova Wallet, Talisman or SubWallet on Polkadot Asset Hub, and enter that address (it starts with 1) as the refund address.
- The payout is ETH itself, so the receiving wallet can pay its own gas straight away. No extra top-up is needed.

### Can I swap DOT to ETH without an account?

Yes. GhostSwap needs no account, email or ID for a standard swap. Paste your Ethereum address, check the floating rate and send DOT from Asset Hub.

### Which network should I send DOT on?

Polkadot Asset Hub. Balances moved there from the relay chain in the November 2025 migration, and updated wallets show your DOT there. Your address still starts with 1.

## FAQ

### How long does it take to swap DOT to ETH on GhostSwap?

Most DOT to ETH swaps are paid out within 5–15 minutes: the DOT deposit needs under a minute to confirm on Polkadot, then the ETH is sent to your wallet, and Ethereum confirms the payout in about 2–5 minutes.

### How much is 1 DOT in ETH?

1 DOT is worth about 0.000434 ETH 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 ETH network fee. The minimum for this pair is about 28 DOT. The Polkadot network fee for sending the DOT is paid separately, in DOT. The rate floats with the market until your DOT deposit confirms.

### Can I send DOT straight to my ETH address?

No. DOT moves on Polkadot and ETH on Ethereum, so DOT can only be sent to a Polkadot address. To swap, send the DOT to the one-time deposit address GhostSwap shows, and the ETH is paid to the Ethereum address you enter, with no bridge or wrapped token.

### What wallet and address do I need to receive ETH?

Use an Ethereum address from a wallet you control, such as MetaMask, Rabby or a Ledger. The address starts with 0x followed by 40 hexadecimal characters. GhostSwap never holds your funds: the ETH is sent straight to the address you enter.

### What happens if my DOT to ETH exchange fails?

If a swap cannot be completed, the DOT is refunded to the Polkadot address you entered as the sender address.
