Explore more use cases for xcDOT on Zenlink: X-Transfer, Bootstrapping, Farming and more!
With the launch of XCM, Polkadot introduced cross-chain functionality for all parachains for the first time, and now DOT tokens can be moved across chains from the Polkadot Relay Chain to the Moonbeam network and are accessible and usable as xcDOT.
Zenlink X-Transfer has integrated DOT(xcDOT) cross-chain transfer between Polkadot relaychain and Moonbeam network, It means that in addition to the utility options available on the Relay Chain like staking, governance, and bonding for parachain crowdloans, DOT tokens holders can now benefit from the extensive DeFi options on Moonbeam. In this article, we will introduce how users can use DOT to participate and benefit from DeFi activities on Zenlink, just follow us and read on.
Transfer DOT from Polkadot Relay Chain to Moonbeam network via X-Transfer
X-Transfer is an XCM utility feature of Zenlink, which integrates cross-chain and token transfer functions and will be a great convenience for the community. It supports transferring DOT or xcDOT between Polkadot Relay Chain and Moonbeam quickly and low cost.
Before making a cross-chain transfer, please make sure you have enough DOT balance on Polkadot Relay Chain for cross-chain transfer and set aside a small amount of DOT for cross-chain network fees. (Due to Polkadot’s dust account settings, you must keep the minimum amount 1.052 DOT in your Polkadot account)
For more information on how to use X-Transfer to transfer tokens please refer to this tutorial: https://wiki.zenlink.pro/zenlink-dex-dapp/x-transfer#how-to-use-x-transfer-to-transfer-tokens-between-parachains-or-between-relaychain-and-parachain
NOTE: This is a generic tutorial demo, you just need to select the token as “DOT” and choose the source chain and destination chain as “Polkadot” and “Moonbeam” respectively, other steps are the same.
