MATIC to POL: what changed and how to swap

On September 4, 2024, POL replaced MATIC as the gas and staking token of Polygon PoS, and MATIC on Polygon PoS became POL at 1:1 with nothing to do. MATIC on Ethereum stays MATIC until it is migrated or swapped. On xswap.to, the listing Polygon (Matic Mainnet) is the native Polygon PoS coin, which is POL today.

What changed in September 2024

Polygon upgraded the native token of Polygon PoS from MATIC to POL on September 4, 2024 (Polygon's announcement). Since then every transaction on Polygon PoS pays gas in POL, and POL is also the staking token.

• MATIC on Polygon PoS became POL automatically at 1:1, with nothing to do. Some wallets still show the old symbol, and Polygon's docs explain how to change it to POL in the network settings.
• MATIC on Ethereum, the ERC-20 token, did not change by itself. Polygon offers a 1:1 migration to POL on the Polygon Portal: you approve the upgrade contract, then confirm the migration, and pay Ethereum gas for both.

In September 2025 Polygon reported that 99% of the MATIC on its network had moved to POL, and that the Portal still offered the 1:1 migration (Polygon update). Its support page says there is currently no deadline, though the community could set one later, so check the Portal before you rely on it.

The MATIC and POL listings on xswap.to

The exchange listing keeps the old names, so read the network as well as the name.

Name in the swap form	Id	Network	What it is
Polygon (Matic Mainnet)	maticmainnet	Polygon PoS, native coin	The gas coin of Polygon PoS. It is POL today, though the listing still calls it MATIC.
Polygon (Matic)	matic	Ethereum, ERC-20	The old MATIC token, contract 0x7D1AfA7B718fb893dB30A3aBc0Cfc608AaCfeBB0
Polygon Ecosystem Token	pol	Ethereum, ERC-20	POL on Ethereum, contract 0x455e53CBB86018Ac2B8092FdCd39d8444aFFC3F6

All three can be sent and received. There is no separate listing named POL on Polygon PoS, because maticmainnet is that coin. The MATIC coin page covers the Polygon PoS coin, and the POL coin page covers POL on Ethereum.

Check which MATIC you hold

1. Open your wallet and look at the network the balance sits on.
2. If it is the network's own coin on Polygon PoS, you already hold POL, even if the wallet still says MATIC. Its listing here is maticmainnet.
3. If it is a token on Ethereum, compare its contract with the table: 0x7D1A...eBB0 is MATIC and 0x455e...C3F6 is POL. Etherscan shows the token behind any contract.
4. If it sits on an exchange account, the exchange decides how it converts and shows the balance, so ask its support.

Be wary of sites that offer to "migrate" or "claim" POL for you. Polygon's own migration runs on portal.polygon.technology, and a real migration never asks for your seed phrase. xswap.to never asks for one either.

How to swap MATIC or POL on xswap.to

1. Pick the coin you send by its listing name: Polygon (Matic Mainnet) for the coin on Polygon PoS, Polygon (Matic) for MATIC on Ethereum, Polygon Ecosystem Token for POL on Ethereum.
2. Pick the coin you receive. For gas on Polygon PoS, receive Polygon (Matic Mainnet). For POL on Ethereum, receive Polygon Ecosystem Token. Other listed coins, such as BTC or USDT, work too.
3. Enter the amount and your receiving address. Polygon PoS and Ethereum use the same 0x format, so for these coins the address does not tell the networks apart. The listing you pick decides where the payout goes.
4. Send the deposit on the network the order page names. A deposit on Ethereum needs ETH for gas, and a deposit on Polygon PoS needs POL.
5. Track the order on its page or at Track order.

Pair pages to start from: MATIC to POL (the Polygon PoS coin to POL on Ethereum), POL to MATIC (the other way), and BTC to MATIC or USDT to MATIC to get gas on Polygon PoS. To send old ERC-20 MATIC, change the coin you send to Polygon (Matic) in the form.

Portal migration or a swap?

If you hold MATIC on Ethereum and want POL on Ethereum, Polygon's Portal migration is the direct route: 1:1, and you pay only Ethereum gas. A swap here goes through a floating market rate and the fees in the tables below, so you would usually get back less than 1:1.

A swap fits when you want something the migration does not give in one step: POL on Polygon PoS rather than on Ethereum, a different coin such as BTC or USDT, or a move between POL on Ethereum and the Polygon PoS coin. The weekly fees for the two MATIC listings and for POL:

Addresses and gas on Polygon PoS and Ethereum

Both networks use the same 0x address format, and the same wallet usually has the same address on both. POL on Polygon PoS and POL on Ethereum are still separate balances, even at the same address, so check the network in your wallet before you send and on the order page before you confirm.

Gas on Polygon PoS is paid in POL, and gas on Ethereum in ETH (ethereum.org). If you receive the Polygon PoS coin through maticmainnet, you get the gas coin itself and can move it right away. If you receive POL on Ethereum, you need ETH in that wallet before you can move it. The Polygon PoS network page lists the other coins and tokens on that network.
