How we get the DOT/ZAR rate
We fetch CoinGecko simple/price for polkadot quoted in zar. Your output is amount × that spot. The 7-day chart uses market_chart for the same DOT/ZAR base and quote — not a South African Rand bank feed.
Server data for DOT/ZAR revalidates about every 60 seconds; the widget refreshes in the background while the tab is open. If live data drops briefly, retry — a cached value may still show.
Converted amount = input × mid-market DOT/ZAR rate (or the inverse after you swap). We never hardcode prices. Stablecoins such as USDT still use the mid-market index — not a guaranteed $1 redemption.
