POL Native Staking

Stake POL on Ethereum to Polygon validators

POL (formerly MATIC) staking on Ethereum mainnet, delegating to Polygon validators.

---

What this yield is

• Asset: POL (ERC-20 on Ethereum)
• Mechanism: Delegate POL to Polygon validators
• Rewards: Daily rewards, must be claimed manually (1 POL threshold)
• Unbonding: 2 days
• Minimum: 1 POL

POL staking occurs on the Ethereum network, not Polygon. Users can either buy POL on Ethereum or bridge their POL tokens from Polygon to Ethereum.

Pending actions

Action	Description
CLAIM_REWARDS	Claim rewards once they reach 1 POL threshold
WITHDRAW	After 2-day unbonding, withdraw unstaked balance

---

Operational notes

2-day unbonding

POL has a 2-day unbonding period. Plan exits accordingly.

1 POL reward threshold

The CLAIM_REWARDS pending action becomes available once rewards reach 1 POL. Rewards are auto-claimed when delegating more or unstaking.

Minimum unstake amount

The minimum amount to unstake is 1 POL. If your staked balance falls below 1 POL after unstaking, you cannot unstake the remainder — you would need to stake more first.

Validator selection

Use validators endpoint to check commission rates and performance.
