You might want to send any DOT you own to your Metamask wallet. DOT does, however, have its own native blockchain called Polkadot, which cannot be added to your Metamask wallet.
The Binance-Peg DOT token, which is a native token of the Binance Smart Chain, is the sole option to add DOT to your Metamask wallet.
A guide on how to do that is provided below:
Can you hold Metamask on DOT?
The DOT token that is native to the Polkadot blockchain cannot be held on Metamask; only the Binance-Peg DOT token may. This is because you can add the Binance Smart Chain to Metamask even though it does not support the Polkadot network.
Instructions for adding Binance-Peg DOT to Metamask
For adding DOT to Metamask, follow these 4 steps:
Make sure you are utilizing the Binance Smart Chain by going to Metamask.
Then click “Import Custom Token” after choosing “Import Tokens.”
Copy the CoinMarketCap Binance Smart Chain contract
Make sure DOT is recognized again and choose “Add Custom Token”

Copy the CoinMarketCap Binance Smart Chain contract
You can visit the DOT page on CoinMarketCap to read the rest of this sentence.
Since CoinMarketCap is one of the most trustworthy websites for cryptocurrency information, I like to use them to get the contract address.
You must make sure the website from which you are getting the contract address is a reliable source.
The BSC contract with the DOT can be found in the section titled “Contracts.”
Make sure DOT is recognized again and choose “Add Custom Token”
You can paste the Contract Address into Metamask’s ‘Token Contract Address’ field after copying it.
You will need to validate importing DOT once more after choosing “Add Custom Token.”
You should be able to access DOT as one of your assets on the Binance Smart Chain if you have successfully imported it to your Metamask wallet.
Conclusion
You hold DOT that is on the Binance Smart Chain when you add it to Metamask (BEP20). Despite the fact that the native network of Polkadot and the Binance Smart Chain are distinct from one another, this enables you to send and receive DOT on the Binance Smart Chain.
