What you need to know

POL input identity and handling

POL (ex-MATIC) is classified as a governance or utility token for this route. POL uses a native asset on Polygon. The recorded Polygon representation uses 18 decimal places. Native POL can pay Polygon PoS gas, while a POL-labelled contract on another network uses that chain’s gas and token-transfer rules.

LINK output identity and receiving

Chainlink is classified as a governance or utility token for this route. LINK uses a network-specific contract asset on Polygon. The recorded Polygon representation uses 18 decimal places. LINK arrives as a network-specific contract balance. The wallet still needs the destination native asset before it can transfer or approve LINK later.

Polygon source execution

Polygon is a L1 EVM network in the Polygon ecosystem. POL pays source-side network gas on Polygon. EVM 0x account address A Polygon PoS source uses its validator/checkpoint system and POL gas; its token contracts and checkpoints are separate from Ethereum L1.

Mistakes specific to POL Polygon to LINK Polygon

Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Polygon; using a destination that is not valid for Polygon; running out of POL before the source transaction is submitted. A Polygon PoS source uses its validator/checkpoint system and POL gas; its token contracts and checkpoints are separate from Ethereum L1. Native POL can pay Polygon PoS gas, while a POL-labelled contract on another network uses that chain’s gas and token-transfer rules. A Polygon PoS receipt follows Polygon token contracts and checkpointed execution; later movement uses POL gas rather than Ethereum L1 gas. LINK arrives as a network-specific contract balance. The wallet still needs the destination native asset before it can transfer or approve LINK later.

POL source handling versus LINK receipt

Native POL can pay Polygon PoS gas, while a POL-labelled contract on another network uses that chain’s gas and token-transfer rules. LINK arrives as a network-specific contract balance. The wallet still needs the destination native asset before it can transfer or approve LINK later.

Private Route for POL → LINK

Polygon wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public. For this POL on Polygon to LINK on Polygon path, Private Route is intended to reduce the direct visible relationship between activity around the source-side EVM 0x account address and destination-side EVM 0x account address; it does not hide either chain's public records.

Swap POL on Polygon to LINK on Polygon FAQs

What exactly leaves Polygon as POL?

POL is listed as the native representation on Polygon; POL is used for network gas. A Polygon PoS source uses its validator/checkpoint system and POL gas; its token contracts and checkpoints are separate from Ethereum L1. Native POL can pay Polygon PoS gas, while a POL-labelled contract on another network uses that chain’s gas and token-transfer rules.

What exactly arrives on Polygon as LINK?

LINK is a contract representation on Polygon with 18 decimals at 0x53E0bca35eC356BD5ddDFebbD1Fc0fD03FaBad39. POL, not LINK, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. A Polygon PoS receipt follows Polygon token contracts and checkpointed execution; later movement uses POL gas rather than Ethereum L1 gas. LINK arrives as a network-specific contract balance. The wallet still needs the destination native asset before it can transfer or approve LINK later.

Why does the POL to LINK direction matter?

Native POL can pay Polygon PoS gas, while a POL-labelled contract on another network uses that chain’s gas and token-transfer rules. On receipt, LINK arrives as a network-specific contract balance. The wallet still needs the destination native asset before it can transfer or approve LINK later.

What changes between the source and destination asset roles?

POL is the deposited token input; LINK is the quoted token output. Source allowance or native-spend rules and destination wallet/representation checks are evaluated separately.

What should be matched before sending POL?

Native POL can pay Polygon PoS gas, while a POL-labelled contract on another network uses that chain’s gas and token-transfer rules. A Polygon PoS source uses its validator/checkpoint system and POL gas; its token contracts and checkpoints are separate from Ethereum L1. A Polygon PoS receipt follows Polygon token contracts and checkpointed execution; later movement uses POL gas rather than Ethereum L1 gas. LINK arrives as a network-specific contract balance. The wallet still needs the destination native asset before it can transfer or approve LINK later.

What funds the Polygon source transaction?

POL is the native gas asset for Polygon. A Polygon PoS source uses its validator/checkpoint system and POL gas; its token contracts and checkpoints are separate from Ethereum L1. POL is recorded as native on this source.

Can I swap POL on Polygon to LINK on Polygon without KYC?

Requirements are checked for the live POL Polygon to LINK Polygon quote. Verification requirements can depend on the provider, amount, jurisdiction, and current route. Sasquatch does not verify this route as universally no-KYC; check the live flow before continuing.
