If you have ever looked at transaction costs or other events priced in microDOTs or miliDOTs and wondered how much that is, we've got the math for you!


UnitDefinitionEquivalentValue in DOT
microDOTOne millionth of 1 DOT1 ÷ 1,000,0000.000001 DOT
milliDOTOne thousandth of 1 DOT1 ÷ 1,0000.001 DOT


Below, you'll find two examples for each unit:


MicroDOT:



The transaction costs 890.7820 microDOT; multiply this by 0.000001, which equals 0.0008907820 DOT.



MilliDOT:
