Choose the USDC 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.
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. The wallet must support the destination USDC native label or contract. Receipt does not automatically supply the destination network’s gas asset. The same stablecoin ticker does not make the two network records or contracts interchangeable.
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.
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.
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.
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; selecting a stablecoin by ticker without checking its network contract. 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.

The wallet must support the destination USDC native label or contract. Receipt does not automatically supply the destination network’s gas asset.
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 USDC on Polygon to USDC 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.
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.
USDC is a contract representation on Ethereum at 0xa0b86991c6218b36c1d19d4a2e9eb0ce3606eb48. ETH, not USDC, 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. The wallet must support the destination USDC native label or contract. Receipt does not automatically supply the destination network’s gas asset.
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.
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 USDC 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.
