POL to BTC (Lightning): questions and answers
How do I swap POL to BTC (Lightning) without KYC?
Enter the POL amount on this page, paste your BTC address and send your POL to the deposit address shown. AltoSwap has no accounts and asks for no identity documents, and it routes your swap through exchanges rated A for KYC, meaning providers that do not run identity checks. The BTC is paid directly to your wallet.
What is the POL to BTC (Lightning) exchange rate?
The rate moves with the market every few seconds and depends on the amount. The calculator at the top of this page requests live quotes from 20+ exchanges and shows the best current POL to BTC rate for the amount you enter.
What are the minimum and maximum for POL to BTC (Lightning)?
The minimum is about 35.8 POL and the maximum about 11,180,609 POL. Limits vary slightly between exchanges and follow market prices; the form tells you immediately if your amount is outside the range.
How long does a POL to BTC (Lightning) swap take?
Usually 5 to 30 minutes. Most of that is waiting for your POL deposit to confirm on Polygon PoS, which takes about 1-3 minutes. There is no verification step, so nothing else adds to the wait.
Is swapping POL to BTC (Lightning) anonymous?
AltoSwap does not know who you are (no account, no email, no identity checks) and the default route uses no-KYC exchanges. Both Polygon PoS and Lightning Network are public ledgers, though, so the transactions themselves are visible on-chain. For on-chain privacy, swap into a privacy coin such as Monero.
Which BTC address should I use?
Your BTC is paid on Lightning Network. Use an address that is a Lightning invoice (lnbc...). Always use an address in a wallet you control and double-check the first and last characters before sending.
What fees are included in the POL to BTC (Lightning) rate?
Everything. The exchange's spread, the Lightning Network network fee for the payout and any service commission are already inside the quoted rate, so the amount shown is what you receive: exactly on a fixed rate, approximately on a floating rate. You only pay your own Polygon PoS network fee to send the deposit.
Can I swap BTC (Lightning) back to POL?
Yes. The reverse direction, BTC (Lightning) to POL, works the same way and has its own page and live rate on AltoSwap. Each direction is quoted independently, so the two rates are not exact mirrors of each other.
