How to Purchase Polkadot (DOT) using Aluna (ALN)

To buy Polkadot using Aluna, first, find a cryptocurrency exchange that supports the DOT/ALN trading pair. Create an account, verify your identity, and deposit your ALN into your exchange wallet. Locate the DOT/ALN pair on the trading platform and place an order to exchange your Aluna for Polkadot. If the DOT/ALN pair is unavailable, you can first exchange Aluna 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.
