EVM-to-EVM execution boundary
Polygon and BNB Chain 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 Polygon network you currently hold.
2. Review the route
Check the estimated output, fees, timing, and BNB Chain 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
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.
Select a BNB Chain-compatible output
EVM 0x account address BNB is the native gas asset for BNB Chain. The quote identifies whether the delivered asset is native, contract-based, or bridged.
BNB Chain receipt-side execution
BNB Chain is a L1 EVM network in the BNB Chain ecosystem. BNB pays destination-side network gas on BNB Chain. EVM 0x account address A BNB Smart Chain receipt uses the BEP-20 contract or native BNB balance selected by the route; later token movement needs BNB gas.
Polygon to BNB Chain bridge mistakes
Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Polygon; using a destination that is not valid for BNB Chain; 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. A BNB Smart Chain receipt uses the BEP-20 contract or native BNB balance selected by the route; later token movement needs BNB gas.
Private Route for USDC → USDC
Polygon wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public, and BNB Chain wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public. For this USDC on Polygon to USDC on BNB Chain 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 BNB Chain FAQs
Which asset can travel from Polygon to BNB Chain?
The live route lists assets supported in this direction. Confirm that the selected source representation has an explicit BNB Chain output before depositing.
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. A BNB Smart Chain receipt uses the BEP-20 contract or native BNB balance selected by the route; later token movement needs BNB 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 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 BNB Chain can prevent normal detection or receipt.
Can I bridge USDC from Polygon to BNB Chain without KYC?
Requirements are checked for the live USDC Polygon to BNB Chain 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.
