Networks and wallets for DAI to LDO
Ethereum mainnet (ERC-20 DAI)
Check that the deposit calls for DAI on Ethereum and that your wallet holds DAI itself. USDS has a separate contract and requires a conversion before it can be sent as DAI.
Ethereum mainnet (ERC-20 LDO)
Check for LDO under the Ethereum mainnet contract in your wallet. Receiving LDO gives you a governance token. An ETH staking balance uses a separate asset.
Use the exact DAI network when comparing quotes. The number of LDO units a given deposit can buy changes with the market, so compare how much LDO will arrive after fees.
How to convert DAI to LDO
- Check that a live provider quotes your DAI deposit network and the LDO payout network you need.
- Compare the amount of LDO you would receive after fees, then confirm the receiving address and any memo or tag required for your payout.
- If you go ahead, follow the live order’s deposit instructions. Keep the order ID and the DAI transaction reference, then verify the LDO payout in your receiving wallet.
How to compare DAI to LDO rates
For a rough pre-fee estimate, multiply the DAI amount by the rate expressed in LDO per DAI. Then compare the actual LDO payout for the same DAI amount and network. Check whether the withdrawal fee comes out of what you send or is charged separately.
Orbit uses a $100 minimum. The estimate on this page uses reference market prices before fees. An executable quote, including any additional route limits, comes from a live settlement provider.
