Choose the POL asset and Polygon network you currently hold.
Check the estimated output, fees, timing, and Arbitrum 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 native asset on Polygon. The recorded Polygon representation uses 18 decimal places. Native POL can pay Polygon PoS gas, while a POL-labelled contract on another network uses that chain’s gas and token-transfer rules.
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.
POL (ex-MATIC) is classified as a governance or utility token for this route. POL uses a network-specific contract asset on Arbitrum. The recorded Arbitrum 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.
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 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.
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 POL can pay Polygon PoS gas, while a POL-labelled contract on another network uses that chain’s gas and token-transfer rules. 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. On Polygon PoS, native POL can support later gas; a POL contract on another network does not inherit that native function.
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 POL on Polygon to POL 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.
POL is listed as the native representation on Polygon; POL is used for network gas. A Polygon PoS source uses its validator/checkpoint system and POL gas; its token contracts and checkpoints are separate from Ethereum L1. 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 a contract representation on Arbitrum with 18 decimals at 0x044d8e7F3A17751D521efEa8CCf9282268fE08CC. ETH, not POL, 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. 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 native POL and a POL contract token. Match the source and output details in the live quote.
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.
EVM 0x account address Do not substitute a Polygon address merely because a wallet displays both networks.
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.
Requirements are checked for the live POL 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.
