Most ALGO to POL swaps are paid out within 5–15 minutes: the ALGO deposit needs under a minute to confirm on Algorand, then the POL is sent to your wallet, and Polygon PoS confirms the payout in about a minute. Busy networks can add a few minutes. ### How much is 1 ALGO in POL? 1 ALGO is worth about 1.2174 POL at the market rate, before fees (market prices, 8 Oct 2026). GhostSwap's quote in the exchange box already includes the service fee and the POL network fee. The rate floats with the market until your ALGO deposit confirms, so the exchange box shows the exact amount before you send. ### Do I need KYC or an account to exchange ALGO to POL? No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Polygon PoS address that should receive the POL, send ALGO from your own wallet, and the POL goes straight to that address. No email, phone number or ID upload. ### What are the fees for converting Algorand to Polygon? The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the POL amount you see is what you receive. On top of that, the Algorand network fee for your deposit is paid in ALGO by your wallet. ### What wallet should I use to receive POL? To receive Polygon from your swap, we recommend using MetaMask or Rabby. Make sure your wallet supports the Polygon PoS network before starting the exchange. Double-check your POL address before confirming, cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed. ### What format is the POL address? Use a Polygon PoS address: it starts with 0x followed by 40 hexadecimal characters. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand. ### Can I track my ALGO to POL swap? Yes. After initiating your swap, GhostSwap provides a transaction status page where you can monitor progress in real-time. You can also track your ALGO payment on Allo (https://allo.info) and your incoming POL on PolygonScan (https://polygonscan.com). ### Is it safe to exchange ALGO for POL on GhostSwap? GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your ALGO deposit is converted and the POL is sent straight to the Polygon PoS address you enter, so check that address twice, Polygon PoS transfers cannot be reversed. ### How does a cross-chain ALGO to POL swap work? Algorand lives on Algorand and Polygon on Polygon PoS, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your ALGO on Algorand and pays native POL on Polygon PoS, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees. ### What happens if my ALGO to POL exchange fails? If a swap cannot be completed, the ALGO is refunded to the Algorand address you entered as the sender address. If something looks stuck, contact support with your swap ID from the status page. Most problems come from sending a different amount than shown or using an address on the wrong network. ## Related - [Reverse: POL to ALGO](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/pol-algo/) ([Markdown](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/pol-algo.md)) - [All GhostSwap pairs](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/) - [How to exchange](https://ghostswap.io/how-to-exchange/) - [Site guide for AI assistants](https://ghostswap.io/llms.txt)
