XLM

What is Stellar?

Stellar (XLM) is an open-source blockchain network designed for fast, low-cost cross-border payments and asset tokenization. Founded by Jed McCaleb (co-founder of Ripple), Stellar focuses on connecting financial institutions and making money transfers accessible to the unbanked. Transactions on Stellar settle in 3-5 seconds with fees under $0.01, making it one of the most efficient payment networks available. XLM is the native currency used for transaction fees and as a bridge between different currencies.

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.

How long does it take to swap XLM to DOT on GhostSwap?
Most XLM to DOT swaps are paid out within 5–15 minutes: the XLM deposit needs a few seconds to confirm on Stellar, 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 XLM in DOT?
1 XLM is worth about 0.158538 DOT at the market rate, before fees (market prices, 21 Oct 2026). GhostSwap's quote in the exchange box already includes the service fee and the DOT network fee. The rate floats with the market until your XLM deposit confirms, so the exchange box shows the exact amount before you send.
Do I need KYC or an account to exchange XLM to DOT?
No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Polkadot address that should receive the DOT, send XLM from your own wallet, and the DOT goes straight to that address. No email, phone number or ID upload.
What are the fees for converting Stellar 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 Stellar network fee for your deposit is paid in XLM 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 XLM 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 XLM payment on StellarExpert (https://stellar.expert) and your incoming DOT on Subscan (https://polkadot.subscan.io).
Is it safe to exchange XLM for DOT on GhostSwap?
GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your XLM 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 XLM to DOT swap work?
Stellar lives on Stellar and Polkadot on Polkadot, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your XLM on Stellar and pays native DOT on Polkadot, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees.
What happens if my XLM to DOT exchange fails?
If a swap cannot be completed, the XLM is refunded to the Stellar 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.
