Polygon (POL) → Ethereum (ETH Optimism)

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

As of Sep 30, 2026 15:30 it is 1 POL = 0.0000430792 ETH Optimism. The figure updates on its own, and the calculator always shows the current one. On the market that is around $0.116016.

Q: What amounts does POL → ETH Optimism accept?

From 854.7292 to 86,400,000 POL per order. The floor is roughly $98.97.

Q: Why can I not swap less than 854.7292 POL?

The network fee and the handling do not depend on the amount. On a transfer below 854.7292 POL 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 POL, and the blockchain takes that one.

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

The clock starts with confirmations: as soon as Polygon PoS 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 Polygon PoS closes in about 2 sec.

Q: Will real ETH be credited, or a wrapper?

Real. ETH Optimism is the OP Mainnet (Optimism) network's own coin, and transfers inside it are paid for with the same coin.

Q: Is ETH needed to receive ETH Optimism?

No: fees in OP Mainnet (Optimism) are charged in the same ETH Optimism, so there is no second coin to hold.

Q: Which network will ETH Optimism arrive in?

The payout goes out on Optimism. Check that the receiving wallet supports that network.

Q: Which network is cheaper for receiving ETH?

Usually ETH BEP20, ETH Arbitrum, ETH Optimism works out cheaper. Still, the network is picked by what the recipient accepts, not by the fee.

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.

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

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

The direction is holding at 0.0000430792 ETH Optimism per 1 POL (23,213.06 POL per 1 ETH Optimism). Over 24 hours POL/ETH Optimism came in at plus 1.05%. Over the week, plus 8.2%.

The weekly range ran from 0.0000375868 to 0.0000460617 ETH Optimism, a spread of 22.55%. One order takes from 854.7292 to 86,400,000 POL. In dollars that is roughly $98.97.

The robot sends the payout in the Optimism network, so the address has to belong to that network — a transfer to another one will not arrive. Market capitalisation puts Polygon at No. 71 ($1.23 B) and Ethereum at No. 2 ($328.71 B). Over 90 days the daily moves of POL and ETH correlate at 0.58 (they travel alike).

Which network ETH arrives in

The same ETH goes out in several networks. Each has its own rate and its own floor, and the fee is charged by the network itself.

How the POL → ETH Optimism exchange runs

Work out the amount in the calculator — orders start at 854.7292 POL.
Give a ETH address on Optimism and a contact for the order.
Send POL on Polygon PoS, exactly the amount the order shows.
Nothing else is needed from you: as soon as the network confirms the transfer, the robot sends Ethereum to your address. The order page shows the status.

Swap POL for ETH Optimism

Check this before sending POL

The address network is Optimism. Sending through another network almost always means losing the transfer.
The transfer must not be smaller than 854.7292 POL.
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 OP Mainnet (Optimism).
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 POL → ETH Optimism route

Fuel for OptimismWithout Ethereum you cannot pay for a transfer or a contract call in Optimism — the coin is needed for anything that happens in that ecosystem.
Different basketsDaily moves of POL and ETH 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 ETH Optimism → POL direction is open as well — going back into POL takes the same route and the same automation.

Common questions: POL → ETH Optimism

What rate does POL to ETH Optimism run at?

As of Sep 30, 2026 15:30 it is 1 POL = 0.0000430792 ETH Optimism. The figure updates on its own, and the calculator always shows the current one. On the market that is around $0.116016.
