How much DOT you can buy will depend on your account limit, with higher purchases requiring increasing/different KYC levels. The minimum amount you can purchase is $20.
Only you can determine whether buying DOT is worth it, and you should remember that purchasing any cryptocurrency carries certain risks. Some factors that others may consider when deciding whether to make a purchase are the token's price, market cap, supply, as well as your individual risk appetite. MoonPay cannot offer you investment advice and cannot tell you whether any cryptocurrency is worth buying. Always remember to do your own research before making any purchase!
No one can decide the perfect time to buy cryptocurrency. If you want to buy Polkadot, you can do so via a one-time purchase, or through a recurring buy order. Recurring crypto purchases allow you to gain DOT price exposure over time, helping to limit the risk of volatility through dollar-cost averaging principles.
Polkadot (DOT) can be used as a cryptocurrency. DOT can also be used to participate in the Polkadot network through governance, staking, and bonding. Through governance, DOT holders have voting rights for decisions regarding network fees and blockchain upgrades.
Staking allows users to earn rewards by serving as validators and nominators. Bonding allows DOT tokens to be used within the network to connect disparate blockchains and take advantage of their functionality.
