Preliminary figure: the final amount is locked in the order.

Current maths: 96.7712 POL for every AVAX, and 0.0103337 AVAX per POL in reverse. Over 24 hours AVAX/POL came in at plus 5.78%. Over the week, minus 5.64%.

The weekly range ran from 88.5954 to 102.7326 POL, a spread of 15.96%. One order takes from 8.8116 to 888,000 AVAX. In dollars that is roughly $99.22.

Market capitalisation puts Avalanche at No. 26 ($4.99 B) and Polygon at No. 71 ($1.24 B). Over 90 days the daily moves of AVAX and POL correlate at 0.61 (they travel alike).

How the AVAX → POL exchange runs

  1. Work out the amount in the calculator — orders start at 8.8116 AVAX.
  2. Give a POL address on Polygon PoS and a contact for the order.
  3. Send AVAX on Avalanche C-Chain, exactly the amount the order shows.
  4. Nothing else is needed from you: as soon as the network confirms the transfer, the robot sends Polygon to your address. The order page shows the status.

Swap AVAX for POL

Check this before sending AVAX

  • The address network is Polygon PoS. Sending through another network almost always means losing the transfer.
  • The transfer must not be smaller than 8.8116 AVAX.
  • Copy the address in full, then check its first and last characters once it is pasted.
  • Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, BNB Smart Chain and Polygon addresses look the same (0x…) — make sure the wallet is switched to Polygon PoS.
  • Send exactly the amount stated in the order: the automation matches your payment against it, and any difference sends the order back for recalculation.

How an exchange differs from an ordinary bridge

VelorexOrdinary bridge
What arrives at the addressthe Polygon PoS network's own coin, POLUsually a wrapper such as WBTC, which then has to be exchanged for something
Wallet connection and signaturesWe do without them: the payout goes to the address from the orderMandatory: the wallet is connected, contract transactions are signed
Is a Polygon PoS coin needed for feesNot required to receiveAs a rule yes, otherwise the funds cannot be claimed or moved on
When it arrivesAs soon as Avalanche C-Chain gathers confirmations; the status is shown on the order pageSet by the bridge itself and by the load on both networks

Why people take the AVAX → POL route

  • Fuel for Polygon PoSWithout Polygon you cannot pay for a transfer or a contract call in Polygon PoS — the coin is needed for anything that happens in that ecosystem.
  • Different basketsDaily moves of AVAX and POL over 90 days link at 0.61 (they travel alike) — the weaker the link, the less a portfolio rests on one coin.
  • It works both waysThe POL → AVAX direction is open as well — going back into AVAX takes the same route and the same automation.

Common questions: AVAX → POL

What rate does AVAX to POL run at?
As of Sep 30, 2026 08:25 it is 1 AVAX = 96.7712 POL. The figure updates on its own, and the calculator always shows the current one. On the market that is around $11.28.
What amounts does AVAX → POL accept?
From 8.8116 to 888,000 AVAX per order. The floor is roughly $99.22.
Why can I not swap less than 8.8116 AVAX?
The network fee and the handling do not depend on the amount. On a transfer below 8.8116 AVAX they eat a noticeable share of it, and the swap stops making sense for either side.
Is anything charged on top of the rate?
No. The payout is already worked out at the rate in the calculator. Separately you pay only the network fee for sending AVAX, and the blockchain takes that one.
How long does swapping AVAX for POL take?
The clock starts with confirmations: as soon as Avalanche C-Chain confirms your transfer, the order goes out for payout with no operator involved. After that the timing is set by how busy the network is — which is the difference between quick and instant.
Will real POL be credited, or a wrapper?
Real. POL is the Polygon PoS network's own coin, and transfers inside it are paid for with the same coin.
Is POL needed to receive POL?
No: fees in Polygon PoS are charged in the same POL, so there is no second coin to hold.
Which network will POL arrive in?
Polygon arrives in its own Polygon PoS network — a plain POL address is all you need.
What happens if the rate moves while I am paying?
Nothing: the rate is locked in the order and holds for as long as the order is alive. It is recalculated only if the payment arrives late or for a different amount — so send the exact sum, and send it promptly.
What did the AVAX to POL rate do over the month?
Over the month, plus 41.03%: a low of 68.4827, a high of 103.8739, an average of 84.1556 POL per 1 AVAX.
Can I swap back, POL for AVAX?
Yes, the reverse is open too: 1 POL = 0.0103334 AVAX. The link to switch sits under the calculator.
