Networks and wallets for WBTC to DOT
Ethereum mainnet (ERC-20 WBTC)
Select WBTC on Ethereum if that is what the deposit requests. Confirm that your wallet holds WBTC, since native BTC and other wrapped Bitcoin tokens use different withdrawal instructions.
Polkadot Hub (Asset Hub, native DOT)
For a Hub payout, select Polkadot Hub or Asset Hub in your wallet or exchange. Check its minimum credit and, for a new self-custody account, the chain’s minimum balance for keeping the account active.
Check WBTC deposit and DOT payout availability separately. The live service needs to accept your source network and offer the destination network that your DOT wallet expects.
How to convert WBTC to DOT
- Check that a live provider quotes your WBTC deposit network and the DOT payout network you need.
- Compare the amount of DOT 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 WBTC transaction reference, then verify the DOT payout in your receiving wallet.
How to compare WBTC to DOT rates
For a rough pre-fee estimate, multiply the WBTC amount by the rate expressed in DOT per WBTC. Then compare the actual DOT payout for the same WBTC 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.
