What you need to know
Native DOT origin
DOT is recorded as native on Polkadot. Native status describes the ledger balance and gas behavior on that network, not every token carrying the ticker.
DOT forms away from the origin
Other routes can use provider-mapped representations. Each form needs its own address, wallet, and network check.

DOT recorded token precision
The contract representations currently share one recorded decimal format, but contract identity and network still require independent verification.
Receiving DOT without a network mismatch
Confirm the DOT network, contract or native label, and receiving address before using a route. Do not identify DOT solely by ticker; verify the asset and network representation. Native DOT and token representations on other networks are not interchangeable.
DOT route-support boundary
Sasquatch does not currently list a transaction route for Polkadot. Asset metadata is not proof of a live provider route.
DOT privacy and wallet linking
Approvals, token transfers, wallet reuse, amounts, timing, and later consolidation can remain visible. Private Route availability and identity requirements must be checked separately.
