Ethereum (ETH Optimism) → Polygon (POL)

Q: What rate does ETH Optimism to POL run at?

As of Oct 1, 2026 00:35 it is 1 ETH Optimism = 23,877.01 POL. The figure updates on its own, and the calculator always shows the current one. On the market that is around $2,672.70.

Q: What amounts does ETH Optimism → POL accept?

From 0.0374734 to 3,740 ETH Optimism per order. The floor is roughly $100.10.

Q: Why can I not swap less than 0.0374734 ETH Optimism?

The network fee and the handling do not depend on the amount. On a transfer below 0.0374734 ETH Optimism they eat a noticeable share of it, and the swap stops making sense for either side.

Q: 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 ETH Optimism, and the blockchain takes that one.

Q: How long does swapping ETH Optimism for POL take?

The clock starts with confirmations: as soon as Optimism 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. A block in Optimism closes in about 2 sec.

Q: 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.

Q: 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.

Q: Which network will POL arrive in?

Polygon arrives in its own Polygon PoS network — a plain POL address is all you need.

Q: 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.

Q: What did the ETH Optimism to POL rate do over the month?

Over the month, minus 6.59%: a low of 22,030.17, a high of 27,231.03, an average of 25,187.25 POL per 1 ETH Optimism.

Funds swap OP Mainnet (Optimism) for Polygon PoS, and what comes out is real POL, not a wrapper around it. There is no wallet to connect anywhere.

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

Current maths: 23,877.01 POL for every ETH Optimism, and 0.0000418813 ETH Optimism per POL in reverse. Over 24 hours ETH Optimism/POL came in at plus 4.64%. Over the week, minus 9.65%.

The weekly range ran from 21,890.7 to 26,772.77 POL, a spread of 22.3%. One order takes from 0.0374734 to 3,740 ETH Optimism. In dollars that is roughly $100.10.

Market capitalisation puts Ethereum at No. 2 ($326.15 B) and Polygon at No. 72 ($1.19 B). Over 90 days the daily moves of ETH and POL correlate at 0.58 (they travel alike).

How the ETH Optimism → POL exchange runs

Work out the amount in the calculator — orders start at 0.0374734 ETH Optimism.
Give a POL address on Polygon PoS and a contact for the order.
Send ETH Optimism on Optimism, exactly the amount the order shows.
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 ETH Optimism for POL

Check this before sending ETH Optimism

The address network is Polygon PoS. Sending through another network almost always means losing the transfer.
The transfer must not be smaller than 0.0374734 ETH Optimism.
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.

Why people take the ETH Optimism → 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 ETH and POL over 90 days link at 0.58 (they travel alike) — the weaker the link, the less a portfolio rests on one coin.
It works both waysThe POL → ETH Optimism direction is open as well — going back into ETH takes the same route and the same automation.

Common questions: ETH Optimism → POL

What rate does ETH Optimism to POL run at?

As of Oct 1, 2026 00:35 it is 1 ETH Optimism = 23,877.01 POL. The figure updates on its own, and the calculator always shows the current one. On the market that is around $2,672.70.

What amounts does ETH Optimism → POL accept?

From 0.0374734 to 3,740 ETH Optimism per order. The floor is roughly $100.10.

Why can I not swap less than 0.0374734 ETH Optimism?

The network fee and the handling do not depend on the amount. On a transfer below 0.0374734 ETH Optimism 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 ETH Optimism, and the blockchain takes that one.

How long does swapping ETH Optimism for POL take?

The clock starts with confirmations: as soon as Optimism 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. A block in Optimism closes in about 2 sec.

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.

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 ETH Optimism to POL rate do over the month?

Over the month, minus 6.59%: a low of 22,030.17, a high of 27,231.03, an average of 25,187.25 POL per 1 ETH Optimism.

Can I swap back, POL for ETH Optimism?

Yes, the reverse is open too: 1 POL = 0.0000418804 ETH Optimism. The link to switch sits under the calculator.
