Ethereum (ETH Optimism) → Polygon (POL)
Value moves from OP Mainnet (Optimism) to Polygon PoS, and what lands is native POL, not a wrapper. Nothing to connect anywhere.
Rate as of Nov 1, 2026 02:39
- Payout network
- Polygon PoS
- 24 hours
- +5.12%
The direction runs at 24,630.55 POL per ETH Optimism, or 0.0000406 ETH Optimism per POL. Market over 24 hours: ETH Optimism against POL plus 5.12%. The week added minus 6.96%.
The weekly corridor ran from 23,604.57 to 26,446.16 POL, a spread of 12.04%.
By market cap Ethereum sits 2th ($276.03 B) and Polygon 75th ($980.62 M). Daily moves of ETH and POL over 90 days line up at 0.54 (they travel alike).
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 basketsDaily moves of ETH and POL over 90 days line up at 0.54 (they travel alike) — the looser the link, the less a portfolio depends on one 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 | ≈ $0.00054 |
| 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 |
