How to exchange POL for XTZ safely and at a good rate
Exchanging POL for XTZ 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. Tezos (XTZ) is a smart contract blockchain that upgrades through holder votes, without hard forks.
Why swap POL for XTZ
Shifting between POL and XTZ is a normal part of managing a portfolio: you change your exposure without cashing out to fiat. With XTZ you get access to the apps, staking and tokens of the Tezos network.
Networks and addresses
| You send POL | You receive XTZ | |
|---|---|---|
| Network | Polygon PoS | Tezos |
| Address | “0x” + 40 characters | “tz1…”–“tz4…” |
| Network speed | a block comes every 2 seconds | a block comes every 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.
- Enter a regular “tz…” address, not a “KT1…” smart contract address.
- 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 Tezos, a block comes every few seconds. The whole POL to XTZ swap usually takes 5 to 30 minutes once your transfer is confirmed.
