on a DEX?
Cross-chain the dot to Moonbeam and use Stellaswap Beamswap Or braindex aggregator
I heard you can also swap on moonbeam app too, is this correct?
Nop, you can use to Cross-chain the assets https://apps.moonbeam.network/moonbeam/xcm
where do you currently hold DOT?
on Moonbeam chain or Polkadot?
you need to XCM DOT to Moonbeam, and then you can swap xcDOT to GLMR on braindex.io here’s a guide on how to XCM DOT from Polkadot to Moonbeam: https://youtu.be/ueZ1-SOcGi8?si=EF3DWpQu-i9l83jh
Is braindex the only one or is that the one you recommend?
nope, you can use stellaswap and beamswap as well
Do they all have the same amount of liquidity or trading volume?
nope, but braindex.io - is an aggregator that finds the best route
How did you find braindex I didn't see it listed on downtown moonbeam website?
it’s a project from Moonbeam Accelerator: https://youtu.be/BXFSwjAVcyA?si=TQ-NGERnyWc9WNv5
haha, yes, it's an amazing aggregator
When you make a swap on Braindex what fee do you pay in? Dot, xc Dot or glmr?
you pay for gas with GLMR
If I swap 1000 xcDOT for DOT will I get close to a 1000 DOT?
wydm by swap xcDOT for DOT? xcDOT is a native DOT on Moonbeam
if you cross-chain DOT from Polkadot to Moonbeam or vice versa, you will get the same amount of tokens in the destination chain
How does that work? They both have pools of liquidity?
by cross-chain, do you mean the XCM feature on Moonbeam dApp?
When I use the parachain bridge on moonbeam and go from xcDOT to DOT on DOT network how is it 1:1? If I did one million xcDOT to DOT it would just do it?
nope, XCM is a native cross-chain communication format, so it's a feature of Polkadot that allows native communication with the entire dotsama ecosystem in a fully secure manner
yeah, ofc, the conversion from xcDOT to DOT is indeed 1:1. this is because xcDOT is a native representation of the original DOT being held in Moonbeam's sovereign account on Polkadot. when you transfer xcDOT back to DOT, the XCM message execution burns the number of xcDOT returned to Polkadot. once burned, the remnant part of the message is sent to Moonbeam via the relay chain. Moonbeam will locally execute the XCM message's, and transfer DOT (the same amount of burned xcDOT) from the target parachain sovereign account to the specified address
So the sovereign account of moonbeam has a balance of xcDOT sitting in a wallet?
no, the sovereign account of Moonbeam on Polkadot holds the original DOT tokens. when you transfer DOT to Moonbeam, the XCM message execution on Polkadot transfers the amount of DOT to Moonbeam's sovereign account on Polkadot. then, Moonbeam mints the same amount of xcDOT so, the xcDOT tokens exist on the Moonbeam network, while the corresponding DOT tokens are held in Moonbeam's sovereign account on Polkadot. when you convert xcDOT back to DOT, the xcDOT tokens are burned on Moonbeam and the corresponding DOT tokens are released from the sovereign account on Polkadot
Wow. You're a genius
haha, happy to help, matey
