Networks and wallets for DOT to BTC
Polkadot Hub (Asset Hub, native DOT)
Check the chain named in the deposit instructions. Native DOT on Polkadot Hub, also called Asset Hub, is held on a different chain from DOT on the Relay Chain, even if the address looks the same.
Bitcoin mainnet
Generate a Bitcoin mainnet receive address in your wallet. Check that the service supports your wallet’s address format and its required payout minimum.
Check DOT deposit and BTC payout availability separately. The live service needs to accept your source network and offer the destination network that your BTC wallet expects.
How to convert DOT to BTC
- Check that a live provider quotes your DOT deposit network and the BTC payout network you need.
- Compare the amount of BTC 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 DOT transaction reference, then verify the BTC payout in your receiving wallet.
How to compare DOT to BTC rates
For a rough pre-fee estimate, multiply the DOT amount by the rate expressed in BTC per DOT. Then compare the actual BTC payout for the same DOT 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.
