ATOM → POL: swap details at ROVEN exchange
To switch from Cosmos Hub to Polygon you don’t need to sell for dollars first and then buy again. ROVEN exchange does it in one step: one order, one rate, one payout.
Cosmos (ATOM) is the coin of the Cosmos Hub, the centre of an ecosystem of interconnected blockchains. POL (formerly MATIC) is the coin of Polygon PoS, an Ethereum-compatible network with fees in cents.
Why swap ATOM for POL
Coins serve different purposes, and sometimes holding POL makes more sense — for faster transfers, staking or the Polygon PoS ecosystem. With POL you get access to the apps, staking and tokens of the Polygon PoS network.
Networks and addresses
| You send ATOM | You receive POL | |
|---|---|---|
| Network | Cosmos Hub | Polygon PoS |
| Address | “cosmos1…” | “0x” + 40 characters |
| Network speed | a block comes every 6 seconds | a block comes every 2 seconds |
| Memo / tag | Required, from the order | Not needed |
What to watch out for
- When sending ATOM, paste the memo from the order; staked coins take 21 days to unbond.
- A Polygon address is the same as an Ethereum one; select the Polygon network in your wallet to see POL.
- When sending ATOM, include the memo from the order, or the payment will have to be traced manually.
- Send the exact amount from the order and do it within 30 minutes, while the locked rate is valid.
How long the swap takes
Swap speed depends on both networks. On Cosmos Hub, a block comes every 6 seconds; on Polygon PoS, a block comes every 2 seconds. The whole ATOM to POL swap usually takes 5 to 30 minutes once your transfer is confirmed.
The current rate is 1 ATOM = 17.149513 POL and the minimum amount is 12.5 ATOM. Create an order in the form above, and ROVEN exchange will send swap updates by email or Telegram.
