EVM-to-EVM execution boundary
Ethereum and Polygon can use the same 0x address syntax, but they are separate networks with different chain identifiers, gas balances, token contracts, and transaction histories.

How the Sasquatch deposit route works
1. Select the source
Choose the USDC asset and Ethereum network you currently hold.
2. Review the route
Check the estimated output, fees, timing, and Polygon 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
Ethereum deposit-side execution
Ethereum is a L1 EVM network in the Ethereum ecosystem. ETH pays source-side network gas on Ethereum. EVM 0x account address An Ethereum source pays L1 base and priority fees in ETH, and an ERC-20 input can require a separate approval before the route deposit.
Select a Polygon-compatible output
EVM 0x account address POL is the native gas asset for Polygon. The quote identifies whether the delivered asset is native, contract-based, or bridged.
Polygon receipt-side execution
Polygon is a L1 EVM network in the Polygon ecosystem. POL pays destination-side network gas on Polygon. EVM 0x account address A Polygon PoS receipt follows Polygon token contracts and checkpointed execution; later movement uses POL gas rather than Ethereum L1 gas.
Ethereum to Polygon bridge mistakes
Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Ethereum; using a destination that is not valid for Polygon; running out of ETH before the source transaction is submitted. An Ethereum source pays L1 base and priority fees in ETH, and an ERC-20 input can require a separate approval before the route deposit. A Polygon PoS receipt follows Polygon token contracts and checkpointed execution; later movement uses POL gas rather than Ethereum L1 gas.
Private Route for USDC → USDC
Ethereum wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public, and Polygon wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public. For this USDC on Ethereum to USDC on Polygon 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.
- ✓Reduces the obvious link between the USDC deposit and USDC receipt
- ✓Compare standard and Private Route options for Ethereum → Polygon
- ✓Shows what remains public on Ethereum and Polygon before you deposit

Ethereum to Polygon FAQs
Which asset can travel from Ethereum to Polygon?
The live route lists assets supported in this direction. Confirm that the selected source representation has an explicit Polygon output before depositing.
Which gas balances matter for this bridge?
An Ethereum source pays L1 base and priority fees in ETH, and an ERC-20 input can require a separate approval before the route deposit. 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 Ethereum address merely because a wallet displays both networks.
What wrong-direction mistake can prevent delivery?
Sending on a network other than Ethereum, selecting a representation not listed by the quote, or entering an address invalid for Polygon can prevent normal detection or receipt.
Can I bridge USDC from Ethereum to Polygon without KYC?
Requirements are checked for the live USDC Ethereum 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.
