POL to SOL: Swap Polygon POL for Native Solana, No KYC

People searching for a POL to SOL bridge usually want one thing: value that starts on Polygon to end up as SOL they can use on Solana. A bridge would hand you a wrapped token that still needs swapping. This pair skips that. POL goes in on Polygon PoS, native SOL comes out on Solana, and there is nothing to wrap, claim or unwrap.

The reasons vary. Some users are moving to Solana apps after time in Polygon DeFi or gaming. Others simply want SOL to cover fees in a new Phantom wallet. In both cases the SOL that arrives can pay Solana fees right away, so no second coin is needed on the receiving side.

For a wider look at how value crosses chains without a bridge, see the cross-chain swap guide.

POL is the gas coin of Polygon PoS, the network that used to run on MATIC. The deposit for this pair is POL on that network. POL also exists as a token on Ethereum mainnet, at the same kind of 0x address, and a wallet will happily send that version to the deposit address. It arrives on the wrong chain and is not seen as a deposit.

In MetaMask or Rabby, check that the network reads Polygon before you confirm. The fee for the transfer is paid in POL itself, so leave a little behind rather than sending the full balance.

Polygon PoS confirms the deposit in about a minute. Scansione poligonale shows it under your sending address, and the transaction hash there is what support asks for if you ever need help.

A Solana address is 32 to 44 letters and numbers, with no 0x prefix. Copy it from Phantom, Solflare or a Ledger and paste it whole. A Polygon 0x address in this field is the most common slip on the pair, since it is likely the last thing on your clipboard.

Phantom supports Polygon as well as Solana, so one app can cover both sides of this swap. Each network still has its own address inside it: use the Polygon one as the sender and the Solana one for the payout.

On the Solana side there is no memo to add and no token account to open. It goes straight to the main balance of the address you enter, even on a wallet that has never held anything. Solana confirms it in under a minute, and Solsca shows the payout under that address.

Both are native coins that pay their own fees, which keeps this pair simple. There is no token standard to check on either side and no extra gas coin to arrange. The only thing that really changes is the address family: an EVM-style 0x address on the way in, a Solana address on the way out. Keep that in mind and the rest of the setup is short.

The exchange box quotes the SOL you receive for the POL you enter, after fees, using aggregated liquidity from leading crypto markets. The reference rate beside it shows 1 POL in SOL at market prices before fees. The minimum and maximum for this pair are in the box as well.

The rate floats with the market until your POL deposit confirms on Polygon PoS. Since that takes about a minute, the window is short. After it, most swaps finish within minutes, and Solana adds its own quick confirmation to the payout.

A live status page follows each swap by its ID. Searches for SOL to POL are more common than this direction, and that route exists too: SOL a POL sends SOL from Solana and pays POL to a Polygon address.

The Polygon address you enter as the sender is your refund address. If a swap cannot be completed, the coins are refunded to the sender address you entered. Make it an address from your own MetaMask or Rabby wallet, on Polygon PoS.

A POL withdrawal straight from an exchange account comes from the exchange's shared wallet. A refund to that address may never be credited to you, so withdraw to your own wallet first and send from there.

If PolygonScan shows the POL confirmed and the status page has been idle for a long while, write to support@ghostswap.io with your swap ID and the Polygon transaction hash. Do not send the POL again while you wait. GhostSwap is a no-KYC crypto exchange, so no sign-up or ID is part of the swap or of support.
