The Polkadot ecosystem has had many newcomers in 2025 thanks in part to Kaito, GigaDOT, $WUD, DOT Bulls etc.



On Twitter, Telegram and Discord I often see newcomers ask how to do certain actions unique to Polkadot, such as mint vDOT, and cross-chain transfer DOT to Hydration to buy WUD.



I publicly asked for someone to create a guide on topics like these in return for a 200 DOT tip![Screenshot 2025-05-04 at 18.14.42.png](https://i.ibb.co/nMHTdCcv/mdx-Editor-ET-1746375731799.png)



NRL took me up on it and created this detailed guide on how to mint vDOT:

beneficiary.
