Shifting between ZEC and POL is a normal part of managing a portfolio: you change your exposure without cashing out to fiat. With POL you get access to the apps, staking and tokens of the Polygon PoS network.
Networks and addresses
| You send ZEC | You receive POL | |
|---|---|---|
| Network | Zcash | Polygon PoS |
| Address | “t1…” or “t3…” | “0x” + 40 characters |
| Network speed | a block comes roughly every 75 seconds | a block comes every 2 seconds |
| Memo / tag | Not needed | Not needed |
What to watch out for
- Send ZEC from a transparent address, or move it out of the shielded pool in advance.
- A Polygon address is the same as an Ethereum one; select the Polygon network in your wallet to see POL.
- The rate is locked for 30 minutes: send ZEC within that time and you’ll receive exactly the amount shown in the order.
How long the swap takes
