How to exchange POL for TON safely and at a good rate
To switch from Polygon to Toncoin 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. Toncoin (TON) is the coin of the TON blockchain, closely tied to Telegram and its built-in wallet.
Why swap POL for TON
Coins serve different purposes, and sometimes holding TON makes more sense — for faster transfers, staking or the TON ecosystem. With TON you get access to the apps, staking and tokens of the TON network.
Networks and addresses
| You send POL | You receive TON | |
|---|---|---|
| Network | Polygon PoS | TON |
| Address | “0x” + 40 characters | “UQ…” or “EQ…” |
| Network speed | a block comes every 2 seconds | a transfer confirms in a few seconds |
| Memo / tag | Not needed | Only for an exchange address |
What to watch out for
- Send POL on Polygon, not POL as an ERC20 token on Ethereum.
- A TON address starts with “UQ” or “EQ”; Tonkeeper or the wallet in Telegram both work.
- If you’re receiving TON to an exchange address, be sure to enter that exchange’s memo.
- 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 TON, a transfer confirms in a few seconds. The whole POL to TON swap usually takes 5 to 30 minutes once your transfer is confirmed.
The current rate is 1 POL = 0.061327 TON 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.
