Buy POL in Australia
POL powers Polygon's scaling of Ethereum: transactions on Polygon POS pay their fees in POL, and validators stake it to keep the network secure. The point of all that machinery is letting apps run cheaper and faster than on Ethereum's base layer. Digital Surge handles the buying end in Australian dollars, and a verified account can order in minutes.

About POL
POL is the native token of Polygon POS, the proof-of-stake network at the heart of Polygon's Ethereum-scaling stack. Transactions on Polygon POS pay their fees in POL, and validators stake it to help secure and validate the network, earning rewards for doing so.
The token was formerly known as MATIC. The project launched in 2017 as Matic Network, founded by four software engineers, was rebranded Polygon in February 2021, and swapped every MATIC for POL one for one when the migration went live on 4 September 2024. Polygon POS runs a two-layer design, Heimdall and Bor, and is EVM-compatible, so existing Ethereum wallets and apps run on it directly.
Our Polygon guide has more on the founders, the validator layers and the AggLayer.

FAQ
Buying POL: FAQs
What's the least POL I can pick up?
POL orders on Digital Surge go through from $1 AUD, so the real decision is how many Australian dollars to put in. Enter a dollar figure in AUD and the screen shows the POL it buys before you confirm.
How much time does a POL order need?
Seconds, once your account is funded: you confirm the quote and the POL is credited to your balance. New customers spend most of their time on the one-off identity check, and an AUD deposit by PayID barely registers, so the order itself is the quick part.
Can I sell or swap POL on Digital Surge?
Yes. Selling returns your POL to Australian dollars at the current market rate, while a swap exchanges it for another Digital Surge coin in one move. The AUD then waits in your balance for withdrawal to the Australian bank account linked to your profile.
What network do I choose when withdrawing POL?
Withdrawals from Digital Surge settle on Polygon POS, so set the receiving wallet to that network before you copy an address across. Polygon POS is EVM-compatible, which lets most Ethereum wallets hold POL once you add the network to them.
Who created Polygon?
Polygon began in 2017 as Matic Network, founded by four software engineers: Jaynti Kanani, Sandeep Nailwal, Anurag Arjun and Mihailo Bjelic. The project was rebranded Polygon in February 2021, and its token was later upgraded from MATIC to POL when the migration went live in September 2024.
Where do I track POL against the Australian dollar?
This page carries all three tools: a live AUD quote at the top, a price history chart beneath it, and a two-way converter for exact amounts. Check the live figure again when you actually order, since the market keeps moving in AUD after you close the tab.
