Networks and wallets for POL to LDO
Polygon PoS (native POL)
For native POL, select Polygon PoS. A wallet may still display the old MATIC label on Polygon PoS, where native MATIC was upgraded automatically. Legacy ERC-20 MATIC on Ethereum requires a separate migration to become POL.
Ethereum mainnet (ERC-20 LDO)
Check for LDO under the Ethereum mainnet contract in your wallet. Receiving LDO gives you a governance token. An ETH staking balance uses a separate asset.
Check POL deposit and LDO payout availability separately. The live service needs to accept your source network and offer the destination network that your LDO wallet expects.
How to convert POL to LDO
- Check that a live provider quotes your POL deposit network and the LDO payout network you need.
- Compare the amount of LDO 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 POL transaction reference, then verify the LDO payout in your receiving wallet.
How to compare POL to LDO rates
For a rough pre-fee estimate, multiply the POL amount by the rate expressed in LDO per POL. Then compare the actual LDO payout for the same POL 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.
