Common Questions About Swapping DOT to BTC

Can I send DOT directly from a crypto exchange?

Yes. The exchange must support DOT withdrawals on Polkadot. Select Polkadot as the withdrawal network and send the funds to the deposit address generated for the swap.

What Bitcoin address should I enter?

Enter a Bitcoin address you control for receiving native BTC on the Bitcoin network.

What happens after I send DOT?

After Polkadot confirms the deposit, the swap executes and delivers native BTC on the Bitcoin network to your receive address.

How do I know when the swap is complete?

The swap status will show when the exchange is complete. Once the destination asset has been sent, you can also view the transaction directly on the destination blockchain explorer.

Send DOT to the deposit address

In a real swap, DOT is sent to the generated deposit address on the Polkadot network. This guide simulates the deposit step and does not move funds.

Wait for confirmation and execution

After the deposit is recognized, the swap moves through confirmation and execution until BTC is delivered. This guide simulates these status updates.

Receive BTC

When the swap completes, BTC reaches your receive address. This guide shows the same completion stage without sending real funds.
