Bridge to Polygon

The easiest way to bridge Polygon is to use the cross-chain framework, connecting two separate networks. With it, users can switch their assets between networks within moments. They don’t need to share personal data or wait for days like with more traditional institutions. Defiway’s Polygon bridge is a convenient way to get needed tokens. MATIC is one of the most well-known Ethereum solutions, so you can find many dApps on this network. All common crypto wallets support this MATIC token. If you are looking for an affordable bridge to the Polygon network, Defiway Bridge is the proper option for this case!

Supported Chains

Avalanche, Arbitrum, Polygon, Optimism, Cronos + 5 more

Supported Tokens

ETH, USDT, USDC, BTC and WBTC

Fees

Variable depending on the network.

How to Bridge to Polygon

Bridging is the process of switching crypto assets between different blockchains. Since you are visiting this page, you are quite interested in transferring Polygon assets. There are many ways to bridge Polygon. It’s an Ethereum layer-2 solution, so you can use any service that supports the ERC-20 standard. However, the fastest and most affordable way to bridge to Polygon is by using a robust bridge protocol like Defiway Bridge. Use this easy 3-step instruction to bridge to Polygon (MATIC) with the Defiway:
  • Step 1

    Visit our Bridge page and pick the desirable tokens and preferable networks

  • Step 2

    Click the “Connect Wallet” virtual button

  • Step 3

    This action connects it to the bridging decentralized service

Steps

Polygon Bridging Fees:
What Are They?

Since Polygon is an Ethereum sub-solution, its commissions are significantly lower than in the main network. The typical Polygon bridge commission varies from 0.001 to 0.007 Matic or $0.01-0.5. Beware that commissions may vary depending on the transaction type and network congestion. Consider the fees of the additional network and sum them together to find approximate bridge costs. To achieve the MATIC bridge's lowest fees, pick the non-peak network hours. It helps you to save an additional 10-30% on gas commissions.

What is Polygon

Polygon is a layer-2 scaling solution for Ethereum. The interesting thing about Polygon is that this network allows cheaper interactions, without sacrificing Ethereum’s high security. It’s compatible with EVM, so developers can deploy their ETH dApps on the MATIC network without major code changes. Polygon uses multiple scaling technologies, including sidechains, state channels, and optimistic rollups. Sidechains are separate chains connected to the main network. State channels are off-chain channels that allow users to interact without broadcasting the interactions in real-time to the ETH chain. Rollups group transactions to send multiple interactions as a single transaction to save on fees. There is a thing that you need to know about Avalanche: it uses a unique Snow consensus. It can process thousands of transactions per second. This consensus is based on a sub-sampling process, where each network node communicates only with a small subset of other nodes. Snow consensus also uses weighted random sampling to pick which nodes to communicate with. It ensures that all nodes have a fair selection chance, increasing network safety.

Final Thoughts

Bridging to Polygon is easy. It’s an Ethereum-based network, so it’s suitable with every wallet or app that supports ETH, including Metamask, Binance, Trezor, etc. To streamline this process, use decentralized bridges like the Defiway Bridge. It’s the trusted cross-chain bridge to Polygon (MATIC). Simply follow our easy 3-step instructions. The bridging process here is similar to any other ETH-based token.

FAQ

  • Is the Bridge to Polygon safe?

  • Are transactions private in Bridge to Polygon?

  • Why does the Bridge to Polygon fee keep changing?

  • What is a Cross-Chain Bridge?

    Cross-chain bridge works similarly for blockchains, enabling the transfer of assets like cryptocurrencies and NFTs between different networks that wouldn't be able to work directly. Think of it as secure transportation tunnels connecting independent blockchain "cities".
  • What wallet can I use?

    There’re plenty of options to choose from! We support every EVM-compatible wallet, as well as 1 TRX-compatible wallet.
  • How secure Defiway Cross-Chain bridge is? Is Defiway Cross-Chain bridge safe?

    Yes, Defiway Bridge is safe for the users. In brief, we eliminated the need for the approval transaction, integrated multisign technology and fortified transfer anonymity to prevent tracking of receiver addresses.To read more about our safety measures, please visit this page.
  • Are There Any Risks Involved in Using Defiway Cross-Chain Bridges?

    Security has always been our main goal. We do not require you to sign a transaction, that’s why there’s no risk of someone stealing your funds.
  • How quickly are the funds transferred?

    The money transfer occurs instantly. How fast the recipient receives funds depends on the speed of the cryptocurrency network.
  • What if I have a question, issue or problem?

    If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to us via the website form or [email protected] email.
  • What Are the Benefits of Using Defiway Cross-Chain Bridges?

    We offer a remarkably low transaction fee of 0.2% and swift transaction times, often concluding within just 1 minute.
  • Can All Cryptocurrencies Be Transferred Using Defiway Crypto Bridges?

    Currently we support only leading cryptocurrencies, such as ETH, USDT, USDC, BTC. You can access the list of exact bridge pairs on this page.
  • What's the Difference Between Cryptocurrency Bridges and Traditional Blockchain Transactions?

    Classic blockchain transfers happen within a single network, for example sending Ethereum on the Ethereum blockchain. Cross-chain bridges, on the other hand, shift assets between different blockchains, similar to sending money abroad through a money transfer service.
  • How Does a Cross-Chain Transaction Work Technically?

    Cross-chain transfers lock your assets on the originating chain, create a representation of them on the destination chain, and then unlock the original assets once the process is complete.
  • Does Defiway Wallet comply with security standards and ensure the anonymity of it's users?

    Your personal account meets the most stringent security standards. We take all possible measures to safeguard your funds. All our services work via SSL (HTTPS) connection, and important information is encrypted using the SHA-256 cryptographic algorithm. Additional two-factor authorization provides another level of security for your personal account.
