Direction
Ethereum → Polygon
Asset
POL

ETH
Destination gas
POL
Choose the POL asset and Ethereum network you currently hold.
Check the estimated output, fees, timing, and Polygon destination network.
Open the live route and follow the exact deposit instructions.
Use the receipt and status page until the destination funds arrive.
POL (ex-MATIC) is classified as a governance or utility token for this route. POL uses a network-specific contract asset on Ethereum. The Ethereum side is contract-tracked rather than a native gas balance. Native POL can pay Polygon PoS gas, while a POL-labelled contract on another network uses that chain’s gas and token-transfer rules.
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.
POL (ex-MATIC) is classified as a governance or utility token for this route. POL uses a native asset on Polygon. The recorded Polygon representation uses 18 decimal places. On Polygon PoS, native POL can support later gas; a POL contract on another network does not inherit that native function.
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 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.
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. Native POL can pay Polygon PoS gas, while a POL-labelled contract on another network uses that chain’s gas and token-transfer rules. A Polygon PoS receipt follows Polygon token contracts and checkpointed execution; later movement uses POL gas rather than Ethereum L1 gas. On Polygon PoS, native POL can support later gas; a POL contract on another network does not inherit that native function.
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 POL on Ethereum to POL 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.
POL is a contract representation on Ethereum at 0x455e53cbb86018ac2b8092fdcd39d8444affc3f6. ETH, not POL, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. 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. Native POL can pay Polygon PoS gas, while a POL-labelled contract on another network uses that chain’s gas and token-transfer rules.
POL is listed as the native representation on Polygon; POL is used for network gas. A Polygon PoS receipt follows Polygon token contracts and checkpointed execution; later movement uses POL gas rather than Ethereum L1 gas. On Polygon PoS, native POL can support later gas; a POL contract on another network does not inherit that native function.
No. This bridge keeps the asset intent while moving between a POL contract token and a native POL. Match the source and output details in the live quote.
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.
EVM 0x account address Do not substitute a Ethereum address merely because a wallet displays both networks.
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.
Requirements are checked for the live POL 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.
