Swap DOT to ADA in three steps without creating an account. You see an estimated amount before you send, the exchange runs automatically once your deposit confirms, and the ADA goes straight to the wallet address you enter.
Enter the amount of Polkadot AssetHub you want to swap in the widget above. It shows an estimate of the Cardano you will receive on the Cardano network at the current floating rate, with the payout network fee already taken into account.
Paste your ADA wallet address and check it twice, because blockchain transfers cannot be reversed. If the coin needs a memo or destination tag, a field for it appears. xswap.to never asks for your private keys.
Confirm the order and send your DOT to the one-time deposit address on the Polkadot Asset Hub network. Once the deposit confirms, the swap runs automatically and the ADA is sent to your wallet. The order page shows every stage.
Swapping Polkadot AssetHub (DOT) for Cardano (ADA) here takes one transfer from your wallet: no exchange account, no balance to deposit and no withdrawal queue. You choose the receiving address, and the ADA goes there once the swap completes.
Rates are floating, so the amount shown is an estimate that can shift slightly while your Polkadot AssetHub deposit confirms on Polkadot Asset Hub. The payout is sent on Cardano, so check that your Cardano address belongs to that network before you confirm.

1 DOT
≈
4.24706 ADA
At the latest hourly update, 1 DOT converts to about 4.24706 ADA. The figure comes from the floating rate and already allows for the payout network fee. Rates move, so the widget recalculates the estimate when you enter your own amount, and no account or registration is needed to swap.

The Polkadot (DOT) on this page is the BEP-20 token on BNB Smart Chain, so you send it from a 0x wallet and receive Cardano (ADA) as the native coin of the Cardano network, at an addr1 address you control. No account is needed. Someone holding BSC-based DOT from an exchange withdrawal might swap DOT to ADA to delegate ADA to a Cardano stake pool from their own wallet.
Being pegged rather than native, this DOT is separate from Polkadot's own coin, which appears as a selector option called Polkadot AssetHub. Its token contract is 0x7083609fce4d1d8dc0c979aab8c869ea2c873402, and moving it requires BNB for gas on BNB Smart Chain. Cardano runs the Ouroboros proof-of-stake protocol and uses Shelley addresses starting with addr1. The swap is cross-chain, and receiving ADA needs no memo or gas token.
Once you enter an amount, the widget gives a floating-rate estimate of the ADA payout with the Cardano network fee already removed. The rate applies when your DOT deposit confirms on BNB Smart Chain, so a market move before then can change the result slightly. BNB Smart Chain confirms token transfers quickly and Cardano adds a block roughly every 20 seconds, so under normal load the deposit confirmations and processing decide how long you wait. Each status change shows up on your order page, together with a transaction ID.

That will not work for this order, because it expects the BEP-20 DOT token on BNB Smart Chain, a pegged version that tracks DOT. That token moves with a 0x address and BNB gas like other BSC tokens. Native DOT is listed separately in the selector as Polkadot AssetHub, so pick that option if your coins are on Polkadot.
It is, because the DOT deposit is a BEP-20 token transfer on BNB Smart Chain and the network charges gas in BNB. A wallet holding DOT but no BNB cannot send the token. Keep a small BNB balance at the same 0x address before you create the order.
Use a Shelley-era address beginning with addr1, copied from a Cardano wallet such as Yoroi, Eternl, Lace or a hardware wallet. Check the first characters after pasting, since a 0x or Polkadot address will not work for ADA. Cardano payouts need no memo or tag.
Once ADA arrives in your own Cardano wallet, the wallet lets you delegate it to a stake pool while the coins stay under your control. Delegation happens in your wallet, not on xswap.to, which offers no staking. Pool choice and rewards are up to you, and nothing here is investment advice.
The estimate uses a floating rate, and the exchange itself happens after your BEP-20 DOT deposit confirms. Price changes in either asset during that window can raise or lower the ADA amount slightly. Cardano's network fee for sending the ADA was part of that estimate from the start.
Open your order page or the Track Order page to see the current status and copy the transaction ID. Check the DOT transfer on a BNB Smart Chain block explorer to confirm it reached the deposit address. If it is confirmed and the order still does not move, message @xswap_to on Telegram and paste the transaction ID.
