How the Sasquatch deposit route works

1. Select the source

Choose the BNB asset and Polygon network you currently hold.

2. Review the route

Check the estimated output, fees, timing, and Arbitrum destination network.

3. Create the order

Open the live route and follow the exact deposit instructions.

4. Track delivery

Use the receipt and status page until the destination funds arrive.

What you need to know

BNB source representation

BNB is classified as a native asset for this route. BNB uses a network-specific contract asset on Polygon. The recorded Polygon representation uses 18 decimal places. Native BNB can fund value and BSC gas, while tokenized BNB requires the source chain’s gas asset and contract handling.

From Polygon L1 into Arbitrum L2

Polygon source execution occurs on L1, while Arbitrum delivery occurs on a separate L2 ledger that settles to ethereum. POL pays source gas and ETH is the destination gas asset; identical-looking wallet addresses do not merge the balances or transaction histories.

BNB destination representation

BNB is classified as a native asset for this route. BNB uses a network-specific contract asset on Arbitrum. The recorded Arbitrum representation uses 18 decimal places. Native BSC receipt can fund BNB gas, while externally bridged BNB arrives as a representation that needs the destination chain’s gas token.

Arbitrum receipt-side execution

Arbitrum is a L2 EVM network in the Ethereum ecosystem. ETH pays destination-side network gas on Arbitrum. EVM 0x account address An Arbitrum receipt appears on the Nitro L2 ledger under an Arbitrum token contract or native ETH balance; later spending needs Arbitrum ETH while L1 settlement continues separately.

Polygon deposit-side execution

Polygon is a L1 EVM network in the Polygon ecosystem. POL pays source-side network gas on Polygon. EVM 0x account address A Polygon PoS source uses its validator/checkpoint system and POL gas; its token contracts and checkpoints are separate from Ethereum L1.

Polygon to Arbitrum bridge mistakes

Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Polygon; using a destination that is not valid for Arbitrum; running out of POL before the source transaction is submitted. A Polygon PoS source uses its validator/checkpoint system and POL gas; its token contracts and checkpoints are separate from Ethereum L1. Native BNB can fund value and BSC gas, while tokenized BNB requires the source chain’s gas asset and contract handling. An Arbitrum receipt appears on the Nitro L2 ledger under an Arbitrum token contract or native ETH balance; later spending needs Arbitrum ETH while L1 settlement continues separately. Native BSC receipt can fund BNB gas, while externally bridged BNB arrives as a representation that needs the destination chain’s gas token.

Private Route for BNB → BNB

Polygon wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public, and Arbitrum wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public. For this BNB on Polygon to BNB on Arbitrum path, Private Route is intended to reduce the direct visible relationship between activity around the source-side EVM 0x account address and destination-side EVM 0x account address; it does not hide either chain's public records.

Polygon to Arbitrum FAQs

What BNB representation leaves Polygon?

BNB is a contract representation on Polygon with 18 decimals at 0x5c4b7CCBF908E64F32e12c6650ec0C96d717f03F. POL, not BNB, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. A Polygon PoS source uses its validator/checkpoint system and POL gas; its token contracts and checkpoints are separate from Ethereum L1. Native BNB can fund value and BSC gas, while tokenized BNB requires the source chain’s gas asset and contract handling.

What BNB representation arrives on Arbitrum?

BNB is a contract representation on Arbitrum with 18 decimals at 0x20865e63B111B2649ef829EC220536c82C58ad7B. ETH, not BNB, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. An Arbitrum receipt appears on the Nitro L2 ledger under an Arbitrum token contract or native ETH balance; later spending needs Arbitrum ETH while L1 settlement continues separately. Native BSC receipt can fund BNB gas, while externally bridged BNB arrives as a representation that needs the destination chain’s gas token.

Does the same BNB ticker guarantee the same ledger form?

No. This bridge keeps the asset intent while moving between a BNB contract token and a BNB contract token. Match the source and output details in the live quote.

Which gas balances matter for this bridge?

A Polygon PoS source uses its validator/checkpoint system and POL gas; its token contracts and checkpoints are separate from Ethereum L1. An Arbitrum receipt appears on the Nitro L2 ledger under an Arbitrum token contract or native ETH balance; later spending needs Arbitrum ETH while L1 settlement continues separately. 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 Polygon address merely because a wallet displays both networks.

What wrong-direction mistake can prevent delivery?

Sending on a network other than Polygon, selecting a representation not listed by the quote, or entering an address invalid for Arbitrum can prevent normal detection or receipt.

Can I bridge BNB from Polygon to Arbitrum without KYC?

Requirements are checked for the live BNB Polygon to Arbitrum 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.
