How to exchange POL for ETH safely and at a good rate
Exchanging POL for ETH 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.
POL (formerly MATIC) is the coin of Polygon PoS, an Ethereum-compatible network with fees in cents. Ethereum (ETH) is the leading platform for smart contracts, DeFi and ERC20 tokens.
Why swap POL for ETH
Shifting between POL and ETH is a normal part of managing a portfolio: you change your exposure without cashing out to fiat. With ETH you get access to the apps, staking and tokens of the Ethereum (ERC20) network.
Networks and addresses
| You send POL | You receive ETH | |
|---|---|---|
| Network | Polygon PoS | Ethereum (ERC20) |
| Address | “0x” + 40 characters | “0x” + 40 characters |
| Network speed | a block comes every 2 seconds | a block comes every 12 seconds |
| Memo / tag | Not needed | Not needed |
What to watch out for
- Send POL on Polygon, not POL as an ERC20 token on Ethereum.
- An ETH address starts with “0x”; BNB Smart Chain and Polygon use the same format, so check your wallet’s network.
- The rate is locked for 30 minutes: send POL 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 Polygon PoS, a block comes every 2 seconds; on Ethereum (ERC20), a block comes every 12 seconds. The whole POL to ETH swap usually takes 5 to 30 minutes once your transfer is confirmed.
Right now ROVEN exchange swaps POL for ETH at 1 ETH = 22 928.02 POL, with a minimum of 222.222222 POL. Fill in the form above: no sign-up is needed, and you can track the order status online.
