Atomic Wallet & DOT: A Brief Overview
Swap. You can buy and sell your DOT for crypto in the Swap tab in our app. Check our guide here for more info.
Buy crypto. You can buy DOT in the Buy crypto tab. For step-by-step instructions on how to do that, see our guide here.
Staking. DOT is unavailable for staking in Atomic Wallet at this time.
How do I withdraw the 1 DOT still remaining on my address?
Your DOT account is only active when it holds a minimum amount, currently set at 1 DOT on Polkadot. This minimum amount is called the Existential Deposit. The Existential Deposit ensures that accounts with very small balances or empty accounts do not 'bloat' the blockchain state. This limit helps the network maintain high performance and reduce fees. If your balance goes lower than 1, your account will get deactivated. You can always bring it back by sending at least 1 DOT to your address.
Unfortunately, at this time, the remaining 1 DOT cannot be withdrawn directly from Atomic Wallet. Please contact our support team at support@atomicwallet.io for detailed guidance on how to withdraw your remaining 1 DOT.
Does Atomic Wallet support batch transactions?
Yes. You can send a DOT batch transaction to your Atomic Wallet from any exchange (for example, Binance).
