What AVAX representation leaves Avalanche?
AVAX is listed as the native representation on Avalanche; AVAX is used for network gas. An Avalanche source route uses C-Chain Snowman execution and AVAX gas; X-Chain or P-Chain balances are not valid C-Chain deposits. On Avalanche C-Chain, native AVAX funds both the transfer value and gas; on another chain, an AVAX-labelled contract behaves as a token input instead.
What AVAX representation arrives on Polygon?
AVAX is a contract representation on Polygon with 18 decimals at 0x2C89bbc92BD86F8075d1DEcc58C7F4E0107f286b. POL, not AVAX, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. A Polygon PoS receipt follows Polygon token contracts and checkpointed execution; later movement uses POL gas rather than Ethereum L1 gas. Native Avalanche receipt belongs on C-Chain and can fund later gas; an AVAX token on another chain remains a contract balance.
Does the same AVAX ticker guarantee the same ledger form?
No. This bridge keeps the asset intent while moving between a native AVAX and a AVAX contract token. Match the source and output details in the live quote.
Which gas balances matter for this bridge?
An Avalanche source route uses C-Chain Snowman execution and AVAX gas; X-Chain or P-Chain balances are not valid C-Chain deposits. A Polygon PoS receipt follows Polygon token contracts and checkpointed execution; later movement uses POL gas rather than Ethereum L1 gas. The bridge output does not automatically fund every later gas need.
What destination address should be used?
EVM 0x account address Do not substitute a Avalanche address merely because a wallet displays both networks.
What wrong-direction mistake can prevent delivery?
Sending on a network other than Avalanche, selecting a representation not listed by the quote, or entering an address invalid for Polygon can prevent normal detection or receipt.
Can I bridge AVAX from Avalanche to Polygon without KYC?
Requirements are checked for the live AVAX Avalanche to Polygon quote. Verification requirements can depend on the provider, amount, jurisdiction, and current route. Sasquatch does not verify this route as universally no-KYC; check the live flow before continuing.
