Networks and wallets for DAI to POL
Ethereum mainnet (ERC-20 DAI)
Check that the deposit calls for DAI on Ethereum and that your wallet holds DAI itself. USDS has a separate contract and requires a conversion before it can be sent as DAI.
Polygon PoS (native POL)
Use a Polygon PoS account if you need POL for gas there. Ethereum ERC-20 POL has its own contract and remains on Ethereum even when your wallet displays the same address on both networks.
Use the exact DAI network when comparing quotes. The number of POL units a given deposit can buy changes with the market, so compare how much POL will arrive after fees.
How to convert DAI to POL
- Check that a live provider quotes your DAI deposit network and the POL payout network you need.
- Compare the amount of POL you would receive after fees, then confirm the receiving address and any memo or tag required for your payout.
- If you go ahead, follow the live order’s deposit instructions. Keep the order ID and the DAI transaction reference, then verify the POL payout in your receiving wallet.
How to compare DAI to POL rates
For a rough pre-fee estimate, multiply the DAI amount by the rate expressed in POL per DAI. Then compare the actual POL payout for the same DAI amount and network. Check whether the withdrawal fee comes out of what you send or is charged separately.
Orbit uses a $100 minimum. The estimate on this page uses reference market prices before fees. An executable quote, including any additional route limits, comes from a live settlement provider.
