| Polygon PoS | 1 USDT Polygon = 1.0001 USDT Optimism | — | |
| Polygon PoS | 1 POL = 0.0000395058 ETH Optimism | 2,093.58 POL | |

Polygon PoS against OP Mainnet (Optimism)
| Polygon PoS | OP Mainnet (Optimism) | |
|---|---|---|
| Network type | Sidechain with checkpoints in Ethereum | L2, optimistic rollup |
| Fees are paid in | POL | ETH |
| Fee level | low | low |
| Speed | fast | fast |
| Block | ~2 sec | ~2 sec |
| Address shape | 0x… | 0x… |
| Memo or tag | not needed | not needed |
| Ethereum-style address (0x…) | yes | yes |
| Official withdrawal to Ethereum | — | ≈ 7 days (challenge period) |
Fee and speed levels are comparative: both move with how busy the network is.
How this differs from a classic bridge
| RubyCash | Classic bridge | |
|---|---|---|
| What lands at your address | Native ETH or ordinary OP Mainnet (Optimism) tokens | Depends: in some networks it is the bridged version of the token |
| Wallet and signatures | Not needed: the coins go to the address from the order | Needed: connect the wallet and sign contract transactions |
| A coin for fees in OP Mainnet (Optimism) | Not needed to receive | Often needed, or the funds cannot be claimed or moved on |
| Timing | After confirmations in Polygon PoS; the order page tracks it | Depends on the bridge and the load of both networks |
| Who holds the funds meanwhile | RubyCash for the life of the order, with an AML check | The bridge contract or its validators |
Moving from Polygon PoS to OP Mainnet (Optimism), step by step
- Pick a route in the table above and work out the amount in the calculator on its page.
- Enter your own address in OP Mainnet (Optimism) (0x…).
- Send the coins in Polygon PoS to the address from the order, for exactly the amount stated.
- Once Polygon PoS confirms the transfer, the coins leave for your address in OP Mainnet (Optimism). The order page tracks every step.
Check this before sending to OP Mainnet (Optimism)
- The receiving address has to belong to OP Mainnet (Optimism) (0x…).
- Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, BNB Smart Chain and Polygon all use the same address shape (0x…). Make sure the wallet is switched to OP Mainnet (Optimism).
- Send the coins in Polygon PoS only: a transfer through another network never reaches the order.
- Coins go through an AML check: a flagged transfer can be held until the check is finished.
Common questions: Polygon PoS → OP Mainnet (Optimism)
How do I get coins from Polygon PoS into OP Mainnet (Optimism)?
Through an exchange order: you send coins in Polygon PoS and USDC, USDT and ETH arrive at your address in OP Mainnet (Optimism). No bridge contracts, no wallet to connect, no wrappers.
What can be moved from Polygon PoS into OP Mainnet (Optimism)?
Right now: USDC, USDT and ETH. Rates and floors are in the table above.
How long does the move from Polygon PoS to OP Mainnet (Optimism) take?
First the confirmations in Polygon PoS, then the send into OP Mainnet (Optimism). After that it comes down to how busy the networks are. A block in Polygon PoS closes in about 2 sec.
What pays the fees in OP Mainnet (Optimism)?
The ETH coin. You do not need it to receive funds — only later, when you decide to move them on.
Which address does OP Mainnet (Optimism) need?
An address in OP Mainnet (Optimism): 0x… A plain Ethereum-style address (0x…) works, but the wallet has to be switched to OP Mainnet (Optimism).
