DOT arbitrage explained

Right now Polkadot (DOT) trades on 11 venues we scan: 11 perpetual markets, 7 spot markets and 0 DEX pools. The lowest ask is on Variational perp at $1.12 and the highest bid on Bitget spot at $1.12.

The widest DOT perpetual spread is between Variational and MEXC: long DOT on Variational at $1.12 and short on MEXC at $1.12 for +0.03% gross, or -0.13% after the 0.16% two-leg fee model. No transfer is needed: both positions stay on their exchanges until the prices converge. The funding difference on this pair is -0.105% per day, which the position pays while it is open.

For a spot–perpetual (cash-and-carry) trade, the best DOT route is to buy spot on OKX and short the perpetual on MEXC: -0.08% gross, -0.28% net, with -0.087% a day of funding on the short leg.

Spot–spot DOT arbitrage (buy on OKX, withdraw, deposit and sell on Bitget) shows +0.08% gross right now. It only works if withdrawals on the buying exchange and deposits on the selling exchange are open, so check the D/W dots before moving coins.

Small DOT gaps usually disappear after fees, slippage and funding. Look at the Net column, the executable Depth and the spread history before trading: a gap that has been open for days is a different trade from a one-minute spike.

How do I arbitrage DOT without transferring coins?

Use two perpetual contracts: go long DOT on the cheaper exchange (Variational now) and short it on the more expensive one (MEXC), then close both legs when the spread converges. The coins never move between exchanges.
