How to exchange DOT for POL safely and at a good rate
To switch from Polkadot 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.
Polkadot (DOT) is Gavin Wood’s network that unites many parachain blockchains under shared security. POL (formerly MATIC) is the coin of Polygon PoS, an Ethereum-compatible network with fees in cents.
Why swap DOT 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 DOT | You receive POL | |
|---|---|---|
| Network | Polkadot | Polygon PoS |
| Address | starts with “1” | “0x” + 40 characters |
| Network speed | a block comes every 6 seconds | a block comes every 2 seconds |
| Memo / tag | Not needed | Not needed |
What to watch out for
- Staked DOT doesn’t unlock instantly — send only your free balance.
- A Polygon address is the same as an Ethereum one; select the Polygon network in your wallet to see POL.
- 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 Polkadot, a block comes every 6 seconds; on Polygon PoS, a block comes every 2 seconds. The whole DOT to POL swap usually takes 5 to 30 minutes once your transfer is confirmed.
The current rate is 1 DOT = 10.760732 POL and the minimum amount is 20 DOT. Create an order in the form above, and ROVEN exchange will send swap updates by email or Telegram.
