the rate aggregates live order-book prices from major exchanges and refreshes every 30 seconds. it is a mid-market reference rate — the same feed crypt.pe uses to lock exact DOT amounts on merchant invoices — so it carries no hidden spread or markup.
Polkadot trades around the clock on global markets, so the INR value can drift between the moment you quote and the moment someone pays. crypt.pe invoices lock the DOT quantity for the quote window, so the payer always sends the exact amount you asked for — but the fiat-equivalent value of that DOT can still move with the market after it lands in your wallet. if you want your invoice value pinned to the dollar, price it in a stablecoin instead.
yes — create a tracked invoice on crypt.pe, enter the amount, and the exact DOT quantity is computed at that moment on Polkadot. the payer's wallet pre-fills it from the QR and the on-chain match marks it paid, with the fiat value recorded for bookkeeping.
no. this page only shows the live reference value — nothing is exchanged, no account is needed and no funds are touched. to actually sell DOT you would use an exchange; to get paid in DOT at exact fiat pricing, a crypt.pe payment page does it with 0% platform fees.
polkadot settles on its native network (Polkadot). there is no wrapped or bridged variant to worry about on crypt.pe — send from most wallets or exchanges that supports DOT withdrawals and the on-chain match confirms it.
