What to know about Polkadot

Polkadot is a relay chain that secures a set of connected chains called parachains, with six-second blocks and deterministic finality usually within a minute. In 2025 everyday balances and transfers moved from the relay chain to the Asset Hub system chain, and that is the network the provider uses for DOT (listed as STATEMINT, Asset Hub's original name). Every Polkadot account has an existential deposit: if a balance drops below it, the account is removed and the remainder is lost, so wallets warn before letting you go under it. Polkadot addresses use the SS58 format and start with 1; the same key shown with a different prefix belongs to Kusama or a parachain.

Wallets for this network: Nova Wallet, Talisman, SubWallet, Polkadot.js, Ledger

DOT mistakes that cost money

  • Copying the address in a parachain or Kusama format. The key may be yours, but the provider pays to the Polkadot (1…) form; switch the wallet to Polkadot before copying.

  • Leaving a balance just below the existential deposit after a swap. The account is reaped and the dust is lost.

  • Trying to swap DOT that is staked or in a nomination pool. It must be unbonded first, and the wallet shows the date when it becomes transferable.

DOT: questions and answers

Why does the network say Asset Hub or STATEMINT?

Polkadot moved balances to its Asset Hub system chain. Wallets such as Nova and Talisman show it as Polkadot DOT; paste the Polkadot address your wallet gives.

Can I receive DOT on BNB Smart Chain?

BEP20 DOT is a wrapped token. The provider lists it, but normal swaps pay out native DOT on Asset Hub.
