How to Purchase Polkadot (DOT) using AirSwap (AST)

To buy Polkadot using AirSwap, first, find a cryptocurrency exchange that supports the DOT/AST trading pair. Create an account, verify your identity, and deposit your AST into your exchange wallet. Locate the DOT/AST pair on the trading platform and place an order to exchange your AirSwap for Polkadot. If the DOT/AST pair is unavailable, you can first exchange AirSwap for a stablecoin like Tether (USDT) or a fiat currency, then trade that for Polkadot. Be mindful of potential exchange fees, which vary by platform and can affect the total cost of your transaction. In Germany, it’s also important to consider the tax implications of your trades, as capital gains tax may apply to your profits from cryptocurrency transactions.
