How bridging to Polkadot works
A cross-chain bridge coordinates an event on a source network with an event on Polkadot. Designs can lock and mint, burn and mint, or use liquidity on both networks. Each model has different custody, smart-contract, token and recovery assumptions.
Your options for bridging to Polkadot
Polkadot is in the TorrentSwap catalog, but no protocol currently returns a live quote for it, so the selector shows it as unavailable. Until that changes, consult official Polkadot documentation for supported transfer methods and verify the URL, networks, token contract, custody model and recovery process independently.
Before you bridge to Polkadot
DOT stays listed in the catalog, but no protocol returns a live quote for it right now. The selector shows it as unavailable instead of guessing.
Staying safe when you bridge
Verify the exact URL, source and destination networks, asset contract and destination address. Do not assume that a correctly formatted address supports the selected token, or that an unsupported transfer can be recovered. Never share a seed phrase, private key or wallet password.
Networks TorrentSwap does serve
Live routes currently cover 17 networks: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Arbitrum, Base, Optimism, Polygon, BNB Chain, Avalanche, Tron, Dogecoin, Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash, Dash, Zcash, NEAR and Cardano. If one of them works for you, the bridge pages for those networks have a live swap box.
