Which AVAX network should I choose when receiving after swapping from DOT?

Avalanche supports C-Chain, X-Chain, and BNB Smart Chain, and each uses a different address format. C-Chain is the most widely used for DeFi and smart contracts, while X-Chain is native to Avalanche's asset transfers. Check that your wallet or destination platform supports the specific network you select before confirming the swap.

Can I send DOT from BNB Smart Chain and receive AVAX on C-Chain?

Yes, DOT on BNB Smart Chain and AVAX on C-Chain are both supported networks on this route. What matters is that the address you provide matches the destination network exactly — sending AVAX to an X-Chain address when you selected C-Chain, for example, can result in funds being unreachable. Confirm the network on both sides before finalizing.

Should I choose a fixed or floating rate for DOT to AVAX?

Most users pick a fixed rate for this route: it locks the amount of AVAX you receive when you create the order, so price movement while your DOT 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 DOT to AVAX exchange take?

Timing depends on how quickly your DOT deposit confirms on-chain, exchange processing, and AVAX 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 DOT for AVAX?

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

Swapping DOT for AVAX is a common move for users shifting exposure from Polkadot's substrate-based ecosystem toward Avalanche's smart-contract platform. Both assets are available across multiple networks, including BNB Smart Chain, so selecting the correct network on each side is essential before initiating the swap. Zest lets you confirm the rate and network details before any funds move, with no signup required.

How to swap DOT for AVAX

1
Open the exchange widget and select DOT as the send currency and AVAX as the receive currency. The widget shows the live rate and the minimum amount for this pair.
2
Enter the amount of DOT you want to exchange and choose a fixed or floating rate.
3
Paste your AVAX 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 DOT to the deposit address shown. Your AVAX arrives once the transaction confirms on-chain.

Before exchanging DOT → AVAX

Before confirming a DOT to AVAX swap, verify which network you are sending DOT from — options include BNB Smart Chain and AssetHub — and make sure your receiving wallet supports the AVAX network you select, whether that is C-Chain, X-Chain, or BNB Smart Chain. Network choice affects both fees and settlement time, so mismatching send and receive networks can result in inaccessible funds. Neither DOT nor AVAX requires a memo or destination tag on any supported network for this route. Double-check that your destination address is correct and compatible with the chosen AVAX network before you confirm, as non-custodial swaps cannot be reversed once broadcast.
