In shortTo swap Polkadot (DOT) to Pirate Chain (ARRR) without KYC, enter the amount, paste your ARRR address and send your DOT to the one-time deposit address. AltoSwap compares 20+ exchanges for this pair, keeps the no-KYC ones by default and routes your swap to the offer that pays the most ARRR. No account, email or ID is needed.
Rates come from live exchange quotes and refresh automatically. Page content reviewed by the AltoSwap team on . How we produce and check these pages.
Pirate Chain is a privacy coin, which makes DOT to ARRR one of the most common privacy swaps. The exchange receives a public DOT transaction and pays you ARRR; from then on, what you do with that ARRR is shielded by Pirate Chain's own protocol rather than by any promise from an intermediary.
Your ARRR is paid on Pirate Chain. Use an address that is a shielded address starting with zs. If your wallet or exchange gave you a memo, enter it as well; for a personal wallet it can usually be left empty.
Type how much DOT you want to swap (minimum about 2.33 DOT). The ARRR you will receive updates live.
The best no-KYC rate is already chosen for you. The form shows what you receive, how long it usually takes and the KYC rating of the route.
Paste the Pirate Chain address where you want to be paid, plus a memo if you were given one. A refund address for your DOT is optional but recommended.
Send the exact amount to the deposit address on Polkadot. After it confirms (about 1-2 minutes), the ARRR is sent to your address.

Enter the DOT amount on this page, paste your ARRR address and send your DOT to the deposit address shown. AltoSwap has no accounts and asks for no identity documents, and it routes your swap through exchanges rated A for KYC, meaning providers that do not run identity checks. The ARRR is paid directly to your wallet.
The rate moves with the market every few seconds and depends on the amount. The calculator at the top of this page requests live quotes from 20+ exchanges and shows the best current DOT to ARRR rate for the amount you enter.
The minimum is about 2.33 DOT and the maximum about 727,000 DOT. Limits vary slightly between exchanges and follow market prices; the form tells you immediately if your amount is outside the range.
Usually 5 to 30 minutes. Most of that is waiting for your DOT deposit to confirm on Polkadot, which takes about 1-2 minutes. There is no verification step, so nothing else adds to the wait.
AltoSwap does not know who you are (no account, no email, no identity checks) and the default route uses no-KYC exchanges. Your DOT deposit is a public transaction on Polkadot, but once you hold ARRR its transactions hide sender, receiver and amount by design.
Your ARRR is paid on Pirate Chain. Use an address that is a shielded address starting with zs. If your wallet or exchange gave you a memo, enter it as well; for a personal wallet it can usually be left empty. Always use an address in a wallet you control and double-check the first and last characters before sending.
Everything. The exchange's spread, the Pirate Chain network fee for the payout and any service commission are already inside the quoted rate, so the amount shown is what you receive: exactly on a fixed rate, approximately on a floating rate. You only pay your own Polkadot network fee to send the deposit.
Yes. The reverse direction, ARRR to DOT, works the same way and has its own page and live rate on AltoSwap. Each direction is quoted independently, so the two rates are not exact mirrors of each other.
