What you need to know

POL input identity and handling

POL (ex-MATIC) is classified as a governance or utility token for this route. POL uses a quote-selected representation. Native POL exists on one recorded origin network; other network forms require representation checks. Native POL can pay Polygon PoS gas, while a POL-labelled contract on another network uses that chain’s gas and token-transfer rules.

OP output identity and receiving

Optimism is classified as a governance or utility token for this route. OP uses a quote-selected representation. OP receipt is a governance-token balance, not destination gas. Verify the destination contract and keep ETH available for OP Mainnet activity.

Mistakes specific to POL to OP

Verify both asset identities, the selected network, current deposit instructions, and the receiving representation.

POL source handling versus OP receipt

Native POL can pay Polygon PoS gas, while a POL-labelled contract on another network uses that chain’s gas and token-transfer rules. OP receipt is a governance-token balance, not destination gas. Verify the destination contract and keep ETH available for OP Mainnet activity.

Representation transition for this direction

POL leaves as a quote-selected representation. OP arrives as a quote-selected representation.

Private Route for POL → OP

Polygon wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public, and Optimism wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public. For this POL on Polygon to OP on Optimism 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.

What should be matched before sending POL?
