Why exchange Polkadot (DOT) to Algorand (ALGO)?
Exchange DOT for ALGO and the Algorand goes to an address you control. No account to open, no balance left with us.
The DOT/ALGO exchange rate, the network fee and the swap fee are shown before you send a single DOT. The ALGO amount quoted is the ALGO amount you get.
Nothing is asked of you beyond a Algorand address. Send the exact DOT figure shown on your swap page, including every decimal place — a rounded amount needs manual review and takes longer.
Sending Polkadot
Polkadot is a network of interconnected chains secured by a shared relay chain; DOT is its native asset.
Polkadot blocks arrive about 6 seconds, so a deposit usually confirms in a few minutes.
Your DOT deposit is verified on the Polkadot network before the swap proceeds — typically a few minutes after you send.

Algorand is a pure proof-of-stake layer-1 with instant finality and low fees.
Your Algorand goes to the address you give, and only that address. Accepted formats: 58 base32 characters (uppercase letters and digits).
The payout is sent once your deposit is confirmed. Algorand blocks arrive under 3 seconds, with instant finality, so it is usually spendable within minutes of being sent.

Polkadot (DOT) to Algorand (ALGO) FAQ
- What does the DOT to ALGO rate mean?
- It is how much Algorand (ALGO) you receive for each Polkadot (DOT) you send, taken from live market prices at the moment you ask for a quote. The rate moves with the market, so you have 90 seconds to accept a quote and create the swap; the widget refreshes it automatically if you take longer. Funding the swap once it exists has its own separate deadline, shown on your swap page.
- How do I convert DOT to ALGO?
- Enter the amount of DOT in the widget, choose ALGO as what you receive, and give a Algorand address. You are shown a deposit address and an exact DOT amount; send that amount and the ALGO is paid to your address once the deposit confirms. No account is needed at any step.
- What are the fees to exchange DOT for ALGO?
- Two, both shown in the quote before you send: a swap fee of 0.5% of the amount, and a network-fee charge for the Algorand payout transaction. There is nothing added afterwards — the ALGO amount in the quote is the ALGO amount that arrives.
- What is the minimum DOT/ALGO exchange amount?
- $100 worth, shown in the widget as an amount of DOT at the current rate. There is no maximum imposed by the site beyond available Algorand liquidity, and no verification at any size.
- Do I need an ID to swap DOT to ALGO?
- No. There is no KYC, no account and no email required. A swap is identified by its link, which shows its status without logging in. Creating an account is optional and only keeps your swap history in one place.
- How long do DOT to ALGO swaps take?
- Polkadot deposits usually confirm in a few minutes, after which the deposit is verified on-chain. Swap times vary by asset and by how quickly its network confirms. Your swap status page shows the current stage throughout the process.
- Which Algorand address should I give?
- Any address in a format Algorand accepts: 58 base32 characters (uppercase letters and digits).
- What happens if my DOT deposit is late or the swap expires?
- There are two separate deadlines. The quote itself is held for 90 seconds — that is how long you have to accept the price and create the swap. Once the swap exists you get a separate funding window, shown on your swap page, to send the DOT. If your deposit arrives after that window closes, the status page shows Expired and the swap moves to Review required; it is then completed at the current rate or refunded to your refund address. Nothing is lost by being late — a late deposit just needs review before it is processed.
- Can I swap ALGO back to DOT?
- Yes — every pair works in both directions. The ALGO to DOT page is linked below.
