Enter the POL address you are sending from, then confirm. 4. Send the POL to the one-time deposit address shown. 5. Receive CRO in your wallet and follow the status page with your swap ID. ## POL to CRO: from Polygon PoS to Cronos POS POL is the gas coin of Polygon PoS and is staked to secure that network; it replaced MATIC in 2024. CRO is the coin of the Cronos ecosystem linked to Crypto.com. On GhostSwap it is native CRO on Cronos POS, the Cosmos SDK chain once called Crypto.org Chain. This pair suits Polygon users who want CRO to stake with a Cronos POS validator or hold in Keplr or a Ledger, with no account. POL deposits on Polygon PoS usually confirm within about a minute, and Cronos POS adds a block about every five seconds, so most swaps finish in 5 to 15 minutes. The address formats are completely different. Your Polygon address starts with 0x, but the CRO payout needs a cro1 address. A Cronos EVM 0x address is rejected, even though CRO also exists on that chain. ### Tips - Paste a cro1 address from Keplr (switched to Cronos POS) or from a Ledger. MetaMask cannot give you one. - The Payment ID field is only for exchange deposit addresses that come with a memo. Leave it empty when the cro1 address is your own wallet. - Send POL on Polygon PoS from your own wallet, and use that 0x address as the refund address. POL held as a token on Ethereum is a separate coin in the list. ### Can I swap POL to CRO without KYC? Yes. A standard swap needs no account, email or ID. Enter your cro1 address, add a Payment ID only if an exchange gave you one, check the floating rate and send the POL. ### What if I leave out an exchange's Payment ID? The CRO still reaches the exchange's address, but the exchange may not credit it to your account, and getting it back depends on their support team. When you pay into an exchange account, always copy its Payment ID (memo) too. ## FAQ ### How long does it take to swap POL to CRO on GhostSwap? When you exchange Polygon to Cronos on GhostSwap, the process typically takes about a minute on Polygon PoS for your POL to confirm on the Polygon PoS network. Once confirmed, your Cronos is sent to your wallet and arrives within a few minutes on Cronos. Most POL to CRO swaps are paid out within 5–15 minutes after you send; network congestion can occasionally add time, and the status page shows each step. ### What are the fees for converting Polygon to Cronos? GhostSwap charges a small service fee that's already included in the exchange rate you see, there are no hidden fees. On top of that, Polygon PoS network fees are paid in POL. The swap box shows the estimated amount of CRO after fees before you send. The rate floats, so the final amount can differ slightly if the market moves before your deposit confirms. ### What wallet should I use to receive CRO? To receive Cronos from your swap, we recommend using Crypto.com DeFi Wallet or Trust Wallet. Make sure your wallet supports the Cronos network before starting the exchange. Double-check your CRO address before confirming, cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed. ### Can I track my POL to CRO 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 POL payment on PolygonScan (https://polygonscan.com) and your incoming CRO on the Cronos explorer. ### Is it safe to exchange POL for CRO on GhostSwap? Yes. GhostSwap is a non-custodial exchange, which means we never hold your funds or private keys. Your Polygon is converted and sent directly to your Cronos wallet address. Standard swaps need no account, email or ID, and all swaps run over encrypted connections. ### How does a cross-chain POL to CRO swap work? Polygon runs on the Polygon PoS network while Cronos runs on the Cronos network, they can't be sent directly to each other. GhostSwap handles the cross-chain conversion for you: you send POL to our temporary deposit address, we convert it, and send the equivalent CRO to your wallet. No bridge protocols or technical knowledge required. ### What happens if my POL to CRO exchange fails? In the rare case of a failed exchange, your POL is refunded to the address you entered as the sender address. If something looks stuck, contact support with your swap ID from the status page. Most problems are caused by sending a different amount than shown or using an address on the wrong network. ## Related - [Reverse: CRO to POL](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/cro-pol/) ([Markdown](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/cro-pol.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)
