What USDC representation leaves Polygon?
USDC is a contract representation on Polygon with 6 decimals at 0x3c499c542cEF5E3811e1192ce70d8cC03d5c3359. POL, not USDC, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. A Polygon PoS source uses its validator/checkpoint system and POL gas; its token contracts and checkpoints are separate from Ethereum L1. The source wallet sends the exact USDC native or contract representation selected by the route; contract USDC can require approval and the chain’s native gas asset.
What USDC representation arrives on BNB Chain?
USDC is a contract representation on BNB Chain with 18 decimals at 0x8AC76a51cc950d9822D68b83fE1Ad97B32Cd580d. BNB, not USDC, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. 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 wallet must support the destination USDC native label or contract. Receipt does not automatically supply the destination network’s gas asset.
Does the same USDC ticker guarantee the same ledger form?
No. This bridge keeps the asset intent while moving between a USDC contract token and a USDC contract token. Match the source and output details in the live quote.
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.
