Swapping Polygon for Solana: what you need to know
Exchanging POL for SOL 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. Solana (SOL) is a high-speed blockchain with sub-cent fees, popular in DeFi and NFTs.
Why swap POL for SOL
Shifting between POL and SOL is a normal part of managing a portfolio: you change your exposure without cashing out to fiat. With SOL you get access to the apps, staking and tokens of the Solana network.
Networks and addresses
| You send POL | You receive SOL | |
|---|---|---|
| Network | Polygon PoS | Solana |
| Address | “0x” + 40 characters | 32–44 base58 characters |
| Network speed | a block comes every 2 seconds | a transfer confirms in a few seconds |
| Memo / tag | Not needed | Not needed |
What to watch out for
- Send POL on Polygon, not POL as an ERC20 token on Ethereum.
- Phantom, Solflare or any Solana wallet works for receiving SOL.
- 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 Solana, a transfer confirms in a few seconds. The whole POL to SOL swap usually takes 5 to 30 minutes once your transfer is confirmed.
Right now ROVEN exchange swaps POL for SOL at 1 SOL = 959.081522 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.
