BCH → POL: swap details at ROVEN exchange
Exchanging BCH for POL is useful when you rebalance a portfolio or want to move from one network to another without buying stablecoins in between. At ROVEN exchange the coins are swapped directly, and the rate is locked when you create the order.
Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is a 2017 fork of Bitcoin with bigger blocks and fees of a fraction of a cent. POL (formerly MATIC) is the coin of Polygon PoS, an Ethereum-compatible network with fees in cents.
Why swap BCH for POL
Shifting between BCH and POL is a normal part of managing a portfolio: you change your exposure without cashing out to fiat. With POL you get access to the apps, staking and tokens of the Polygon PoS network.
Networks and addresses
| You send BCH | You receive POL | |
|---|---|---|
| Network | Bitcoin Cash | Polygon PoS |
| Address | “q…” or “bitcoincash:q…” | “0x” + 40 characters |
| Network speed | a block comes roughly every 10 minutes | a block comes every 2 seconds |
| Memo / tag | Not needed | Not needed |
What to watch out for
- Don’t send BCH from a Bitcoin wallet or vice versa — they’re different networks.
- A Polygon address is the same as an Ethereum one; select the Polygon network in your wallet to see POL.
- The rate is locked for 30 minutes: send BCH within that time and you’ll receive exactly the amount shown in the order.
How long the swap takes
Swap speed depends on both networks. On Bitcoin Cash, a block comes roughly every 10 minutes; on Polygon PoS, a block comes every 2 seconds. The whole BCH to POL swap usually takes 5 to 30 minutes once your transfer is confirmed.
