Which networks support DAI and NEAR on this route?

DAI is available on Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain, Polygon, Arbitrum, and Optimism. NEAR is available on the NEAR blockchain and BNB Smart Chain. Select the network where your DAI is located for sending, and choose your preferred NEAR receive network—they do not need to match, but BNB Smart Chain is a common crossover if you're moving between chains.

Why do traders swap DAI for NEAR?

DAI is a stablecoin useful for holding or transferring value without price volatility, while NEAR is a utility token for the NEAR blockchain. Users often exchange DAI for NEAR to stake on the NEAR network, pay for transactions, or participate in dApps within the ecosystem.

What should I verify before confirming the swap?

Confirm your NEAR receiving address is correct and belongs to you—funds sent to a wrong address cannot be recovered. Check that your DAI send network matches your actual holdings, and verify the NEAR receive network is one you can access with your wallet. The swap rates are shown before you confirm, so review them for any change if you've been preparing the transaction for a while.

Should I choose a fixed or floating rate for DAI to NEAR?

Most users pick a fixed rate for this route: it locks the amount of NEAR you receive when you create the order, so price movement while your DAI deposit confirms does not change the payout. A floating rate follows the market and can pay slightly more or less at execution time. You can choose either in the swap form before confirming.

How long does a DAI to NEAR exchange take?

Timing depends on how quickly your DAI deposit confirms on-chain, exchange processing, and NEAR network conditions. Congestion on either network can extend the wait, and the order page tracks each step while your swap runs.

Do I need an account to exchange DAI for NEAR?

No signup is required for standard swaps. Zest is non-custodial — you send DAI from your own wallet and receive NEAR at an address you control, with the rate shown before you confirm.

How to swap DAI for NEAR

1
Open the exchange widget and select DAI as the send currency and NEAR as the receive currency. The widget shows the live rate and the minimum amount for this pair.
2
Enter the amount of DAI you want to exchange and choose a fixed or floating rate.
3
Paste your NEAR wallet address into the recipient field and double-check it. Select the network your wallet supports -- the receive network must match where your address lives.
4
Click Exchange and send your DAI to the deposit address shown. Your NEAR arrives once the transaction confirms on-chain.

Before exchanging DAI → NEAR

Before you swap, select the network your DAI will be sent from—Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain, Polygon, Arbitrum, or Optimism—and confirm it matches where you hold your DAI. Next, choose the network where you want to receive NEAR: either the NEAR blockchain itself or BNB Smart Chain. Network selection affects settlement behavior and fees, so verify both your send network and receive network match your wallet setup. Double-check your NEAR receiving address for accuracy, as mismatches can result in lost funds. Once you confirm the swap, monitor the confirmation progress; different networks settle at different rates.
