POL → DOT: swap details at ROVEN exchange
To switch from Polygon to Polkadot 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.
POL (formerly MATIC) is the coin of Polygon PoS, an Ethereum-compatible network with fees in cents. Polkadot (DOT) is Gavin Wood’s network that unites many parachain blockchains under shared security.
Why swap POL for DOT
Coins serve different purposes, and sometimes holding DOT makes more sense — for faster transfers, staking or the Polkadot ecosystem. With DOT you get access to the apps, staking and tokens of the Polkadot network.
Networks and addresses
| You send POL | You receive DOT | |
|---|---|---|
| Network | Polygon PoS | Polkadot |
| Address | “0x” + 40 characters | starts with “1” |
| Network speed | a block comes every 2 seconds | a block comes every 6 seconds |
| Memo / tag | Not needed | Not needed |
What to watch out for
- Send POL on Polygon, not POL as an ERC20 token on Ethereum.
- A new Polkadot address must receive at least 1 DOT, the account’s minimum balance.
- 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 Polygon PoS, a block comes every 2 seconds; on Polkadot, a block comes every 6 seconds. The whole POL to DOT swap usually takes 5 to 30 minutes once your transfer is confirmed.
The current rate is 1 POL = 0.10261756 DOT and the minimum amount is 222.222222 POL. Create an order in the form above, and ROVEN exchange will send swap updates by email or Telegram.
