How to exchange POL for LTC safely and at a good rate
Exchanging POL for LTC 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. Litecoin (LTC) is one of the oldest Bitcoin forks, with blocks four times faster and low fees.
Why swap POL for LTC
Shifting between POL and LTC is a normal part of managing a portfolio: you change your exposure without cashing out to fiat. Litecoin was built for fast, cheap transfers, which makes it handy for payments.
Networks and addresses
| You send POL | You receive LTC | |
|---|---|---|
| Network | Polygon PoS | Litecoin |
| Address | “0x” + 40 characters | “ltc1…”, “L…” or “M…” |
| Network speed | a block comes every 2 seconds | a block comes roughly every 2.5 minutes |
| Memo / tag | Not needed | Not needed |
What to watch out for
- Send POL on Polygon, not POL as an ERC20 token on Ethereum.
- A Litecoin address starts with “ltc1”, “L” or “M”; it’s best to avoid legacy “3…” addresses.
- 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 Litecoin, a block comes roughly every 2.5 minutes. The whole POL to LTC swap usually takes 5 to 30 minutes once your transfer is confirmed.
Right now ROVEN exchange swaps POL for LTC at 1 LTC = 557.452331 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.
