Since the 4 November 2025 migration, DOT balances, staking and governance live on Polkadot Asset Hub instead of the relay chain, and that is where up-to-date wallets show your DOT. It is paid to the Polkadot address you enter, with no account. The ETH deposit confirms on Ethereum in about 2 to 5 minutes, and the DOT payout confirms in under a minute, so most swaps finish in 10 to 25 minutes. A new, empty Polkadot address is fine: an account becomes active once it holds at least the existential deposit, which the migration lowered to a small fraction of a DOT. ### Tips - Use the Polkadot-format address that begins with 1, from Nova Wallet, Talisman or SubWallet. The generic Substrate form of the same account, which begins with 5, is rejected. - Send native ETH on Ethereum mainnet from your own wallet, keep a little back for gas, and enter that 0x address as the refund address. - The DOT payout has no memo or tag field, so paste only the address. ### Can I buy DOT with ETH without KYC? Yes. A standard swap needs no account, email or ID. Paste your Polkadot address, check the floating rate and send the ETH. ### Can I stake the DOT as soon as it arrives? Yes. You can join a nomination pool or nominate validators from Nova Wallet, Talisman or SubWallet. Staked DOT has an unbonding period before it can be sent again, so leave out anything you may need soon. ## FAQ ### How long does it take to swap ETH to DOT on GhostSwap? Most ETH to DOT swaps are paid out within 10–25 minutes: the ETH deposit needs about 2–5 minutes to confirm on Ethereum, then the DOT is sent to your wallet, and Polkadot confirms the payout in under a minute. Busy networks can add a few minutes. ### How much is 1 ETH in DOT? At 3 Oct 2026, 13:50 UTC, 1 ETH swapped to about 2,201.58 DOT on GhostSwap, after the service fee. The minimum for this pair is about 0.012 ETH. The rate floats with the market until your ETH deposit confirms, so the exchange box shows the exact amount before you send. ### What are the fees for converting Ethereum to Polkadot? The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the DOT amount you see is what you receive. On top of that, the Ethereum network fee for your deposit is paid in ETH by your wallet. ### What wallet should I use to receive DOT? To receive Polkadot from your swap, we recommend using Nova Wallet, Talisman or SubWallet. Make sure your wallet supports the Polkadot network before starting the exchange. Double-check your DOT address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed. ### What format is the DOT address? Use a Polkadot address: it starts with 1. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand. ### Can I track my ETH to DOT 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 ETH payment on Etherscan (https://etherscan.io) and your incoming DOT on Subscan (https://polkadot.subscan.io). ### Is it safe to exchange ETH for DOT on GhostSwap? GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your ETH deposit is converted and the DOT is sent straight to the Polkadot address you enter, so check that address twice — Polkadot transfers cannot be reversed. ### How does a cross-chain ETH to DOT swap work? Ethereum lives on Ethereum and Polkadot on Polkadot, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your ETH on Ethereum and pays native DOT on Polkadot, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees. ### What happens if my ETH to DOT exchange fails? If a swap cannot be completed, the ETH is refunded to the Ethereum 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: DOT to ETH](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/dot-eth/) ([Markdown](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/dot-eth.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)
