Polygon is a L1 EVM network in the Polygon ecosystem.
Polygon PoS uses an EVM sidechain architecture with its own validator checkpoints and gas balance. Its token representations and bridge behavior are separate from Ethereum L1 even when wallets use the same 0x account. Token transfers can involve contract calls and approvals; the 0x address syntax does not make balances portable to another EVM chain.

8 outgoing bridge directions, 8 incoming bridge directions, and 2199 exact swap routes are currently represented. Each direction has separate source gas, destination address, and representation checks.
AVAX, BNB, DAI, LINK, POL, SOL, USDC, USDT, WBTC, WETH are recorded for this network. Native balances and contract tokens must still be distinguished in the exact route.
Polygon has one recorded provider mapping. Availability remains conditional on the exact asset pair, direction, amount, and current quote.
Use the recorded explorer at https://polygonscan.com/ to verify network activity. Network documentation begins at https://polygon.technology/.
Confirm Polygon, its evm 0x account address, and the exact asset representation before sending. Keep POL available for network gas when a transaction is required.
Polygon wallet history, token transfers, approvals, contract interactions, logs, gas funding, amounts, and timing remain public. Private Route is designed to reduce the direct visible relationship between source and destination activity; it does not hide Polygon blockchain history. Availability depends on the exact asset, direction, amount, provider, and current route conditions.
