DAI to XTZ at a glance
Because DAI is pegged to the US dollar, this swap is effectively buying Tezos at its dollar price, minus the spread, without opening an exchange account, passing verification or waiting for a withdrawal.
Your XTZ is paid on Tezos. Use an address that starts with tz1, tz2 or tz3. If your wallet or exchange gave you a memo, enter it as well; for a personal wallet it can usually be left empty.

DAI to XTZ: questions and answers
How do I swap DAI to XTZ without KYC?
Enter the DAI amount on this page, choose an offer, paste your XTZ address and send your DAI to the deposit address shown. AltoSwap has no accounts and asks for no identity documents, and by default it only shows exchanges rated A for KYC, meaning providers that do not run identity checks. The XTZ is paid directly to your wallet.
What is the DAI to XTZ exchange rate?
The rate moves with the market every few seconds and depends on the amount. The calculator at the top of this page requests live quotes from 20+ exchanges and shows the best current DAI to XTZ rate for the amount you enter.
What are the minimum and maximum for DAI to XTZ?
The minimum is about 6.91 DAI and the maximum about 2,158,258 DAI. Limits vary slightly between exchanges and follow market prices; the form tells you immediately if your amount is outside the range.
How long does a DAI to XTZ swap take?
Usually 5 to 30 minutes. Most of that is waiting for your DAI deposit to confirm on Ethereum, which takes about 2-5 minutes. There is no verification step, so nothing else adds to the wait.
Is swapping DAI to XTZ anonymous?
AltoSwap does not know who you are (no account, no email, no identity checks) and the default route uses no-KYC exchanges. Both Ethereum and Tezos are public ledgers, though, so the transactions themselves are visible on-chain. For on-chain privacy, swap into a privacy coin such as Monero.
Which XTZ address should I use?
Your XTZ is paid on Tezos. Use an address that starts with tz1, tz2 or tz3. If your wallet or exchange gave you a memo, enter it as well; for a personal wallet it can usually be left empty. Always use an address in a wallet you control and double-check the first and last characters before sending.
What fees are included in the DAI to XTZ rate?
Everything. The exchange's spread, the Tezos network fee for the payout and any service commission are already inside the quoted rate, so the amount shown is what you receive: exactly on a fixed rate, approximately on a floating rate. You only pay your own Ethereum network fee to send the deposit.
Can I swap XTZ back to DAI?
Yes. The reverse direction, XTZ to DAI, works the same way and has its own page and live rate on AltoSwap. Each direction is quoted independently, so the two rates are not exact mirrors of each other.
