Who takes the ETH Optimism → POL route
- Fuel for Polygon PoSWithout Polygon nothing moves in Polygon PoS — every transfer and every contract call is paid in it.
- Different basketsHolding part of the amount in Polygon loosens a portfolio's dependence on a single coin.
- A road both waysThe POL → ETH Optimism direction is open too, so going back into ETH takes the same route.

How the ETH Optimism → POL order runs
- Work out the amount in the calculator and press the exchange button.
- Enter a POL address in Polygon PoS and a way to reach you.
- Send ETH Optimism in Optimism for exactly the amount stated in the order.
- Once the network confirms your transfer, Polygon leaves for your address. The order page tracks every step.
Check this before sending ETH Optimism
- The address network is Polygon PoS. Sending through another network usually means losing the transfer.
- Copy the address whole, then compare the first and last characters after pasting.
- Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, BNB Smart Chain and Polygon all use the same address shape (0x…). Make sure the wallet is switched to Polygon PoS.
- Coins go through an AML check: a flagged transfer can be held until the check is finished.
OP Mainnet (Optimism) against Polygon PoS
| OP Mainnet (Optimism) | Polygon PoS | |
|---|---|---|
| Network type | L2, optimistic rollup | Sidechain with checkpoints in Ethereum |
| Fees are paid in | ETH | POL |
| Fee level | ≈ < $0.0001 | ≈ $0.00055 |
| 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 POL in Polygon PoS | Usually a wrapper like WBTC, which then has to be swapped |
| 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 Polygon PoS | Not needed to receive | Often needed, or the funds cannot be claimed or moved on |
| Timing | After confirmations in OP Mainnet (Optimism); 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 |

Common questions: ETH Optimism → POL
What rate does ETH Optimism to POL run at?
As of Sep 16, 2026 23:43 it is 1 ETH Optimism = 25,954.98 POL. The figure recalculates on its own, and the calculator always shows the fresh one. In dollars that is around $2,406.31.
What else is taken on top of the rate?
The payout is already calculated at the rate in the calculator. On top of it you only pay the network fee for sending ETH Optimism, and that one goes to the blockchain, not to us.
How long does ETH Optimism to POL take?
The clock starts with confirmations: the order goes into work once Optimism confirms your transfer. After that it comes down to how busy the network is. A block in Optimism closes in about 2 sec.
Which network will POL arrive in?
Polygon leaves in its own Polygon PoS network — a plain POL address is all you need.
What if the rate moves while I am paying?
The rate is pinned to the order and does not move while the order is alive. It can be recalculated if the payment arrives late or for a different amount — so send the exact sum, and send it promptly.
Will native POL arrive, or a wrapper?
Native. POL is the network's own coin in Polygon PoS, and its fees are paid in it too.
Do I need POL to receive POL?
No. Fees in Polygon PoS are paid in POL, so no separate coin is needed.
Can I go back, POL to ETH Optimism?
Yes, the reverse direction is open: 1 POL = 0.0000387221 ETH Optimism. The link sits right under the calculator.
