Polygon Wrapper
Polygon Wrapper: turn POL into WPOL and back in one transaction. Wrapped POL is what pools and DeFi contracts hold.

- Connect your Polygon wallet
- Choose Wrap (POL to WPOL) or Unwrap (WPOL to POL)
- Enter the amount you want to convert
- Confirm the fee transaction and then the wrap transaction
- Your WPOL (or POL) is updated within seconds

For practical purposes yes: the network renamed MATIC to POL and older material still uses the previous name. If an interface asks for WMATIC, wrapped POL is what it means.
It deposits your POL into the wrapper contract, which issues you the same amount of WPOL, an ERC-20. Unwrapping returns the POL and burns the WPOL. The rate is one for one in both directions and there is no lock-up.
Because POL is the network currency and not a token: it has no transfer or approve function for a contract to call. Anything written against the ERC-20 standard needs WPOL instead, which is most of DeFi.
Yes, any amount at any time. The rest stays wrapped and usable.
The wrapper is one of the most used contracts on any EVM chain and does one thing: hold POL and issue WPOL against it. Your claim is the WPOL in your wallet, redeemable whenever you want.
A small fee shown before you sign, plus Polygon gas. The conversion never takes a cut: what goes in comes out.
POL, and the WMATIC you may still see
Polygon renamed its native currency from MATIC to POL, and the wrapped version followed. Older pools, documentation and interfaces still say WMATIC, and in most places the two refer to the same contract, so a pool listed against WMATIC is one you can enter with wrapped POL.
