DOT to ALGO: questions and answers
How do I swap DOT to ALGO without KYC?
Enter the DOT amount on this page, choose an offer, paste your ALGO address and send your DOT 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 ALGO is paid directly to your wallet.
What is the DOT to ALGO exchange rate?
At the last update, 1 DOT ≈ 9.2546 ALGO (the best of 4 offers for 200 DOT). Rates move with the market every few seconds, so use the calculator at the top of the page for the live rate on your exact amount.
What are the minimum and maximum for DOT to ALGO?
The minimum is about 2.33 DOT and the maximum about 727,000 DOT. 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 DOT to ALGO swap take?
Usually around 25 min. Most of that is waiting for your DOT deposit to confirm on Polkadot, which takes about 1-2 minutes. There is no verification step, so nothing else adds to the wait.
Is swapping DOT to ALGO anonymous?
AltoSwap does not know who you are (no account, no email, no identity checks) and the default route uses no-KYC exchanges. Both Polkadot and Algorand 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 ALGO address should I use?
Your ALGO is paid on Algorand. Use an address that is 58 characters long. If your wallet or exchange gave you a note (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 DOT to ALGO rate?
Everything. The exchange's spread, the Algorand 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 Polkadot network fee to send the deposit.
Can I swap ALGO back to DOT?
Yes. The reverse direction, ALGO to DOT, 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.
