Choose the POL asset and Polygon network you currently hold.
Check the estimated output, fees, timing, and Ethereum 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 and Ethereum 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 network-specific contract asset on Ethereum. The Ethereum side is contract-tracked rather than a native gas balance. On Polygon PoS, native POL can support later gas; a POL contract on another network does not inherit that native function.
Ethereum is a L1 EVM network in the Ethereum ecosystem. ETH pays destination-side network gas on Ethereum. EVM 0x account address An Ethereum receipt is an L1 native ETH balance or ERC-20 contract event; later token movement can require ETH gas and a new approval for another contract.
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 Ethereum; 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 Ethereum receipt is an L1 native ETH balance or ERC-20 contract event; later token movement can require ETH gas and a new approval for another contract. 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 Ethereum wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public. For this POL on Polygon to POL on Ethereum 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 Ethereum at 0x455e53cbb86018ac2b8092fdcd39d8444affc3f6. ETH, not POL, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. An Ethereum receipt is an L1 native ETH balance or ERC-20 contract event; later token movement can require ETH gas and a new approval for another contract. 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 Ethereum receipt is an L1 native ETH balance or ERC-20 contract event; later token movement can require ETH gas and a new approval for another contract. 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 Ethereum can prevent normal detection or receipt.
Requirements are checked for the live POL Polygon to Ethereum 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.
