How to bridge from Avalanche to Polygon

Example quote from 25 September 2026: sending 293.83 AVAX (~$3,000) from Avalanche returns about 27,631 POL on Polygon via Symbiosis, estimated ~42 sec — no wrapped tokens beyond the standard route, fully non-custodial. Symbiosis works as a liquidity meta-aggregator, comparing routes across multiple DEXes and bridge providers and picking the best one by price, fee, and speed automatically. This is one of the most popular flows on this corridor; the same widget supports any source chain and token combination. Here's how the flow works:

Pick the source. Set Avalanche as source and Polygon as destination — the AVAX sits in an Avalanche wallet, and the goal is access to Polygon DeFi (QuickSwap, Aave, Curve).
Connect wallets. MetaMask on the Avalanche side, MetaMask on the Polygon side. Symbiosis reads the destination address automatically from the connected wallet — no manual paste required.
Enter the amount. 293.83 AVAX (~$3,000) in this example. Keep enough AVAX in the wallet to cover network gas.
Review the quote. Symbiosis displays the exact POL amount on Polygon (about 27,631 POL in this example), the flat Symbiosis fee in USD, and ETA (~42 sec). The quote is locked in before signing — 2% slippage tolerance protects against sudden price moves.
Sign and confirm. Sign the Avalanche transaction in MetaMask. POL arrives in MetaMask once the route completes — track the transfer on Symbiosis Explorer.

About the Avalanche to Polygon route

Why this route. POL lets Avalanche users start trading on QuickSwap or lending on Aave V3 on Polygon PoS. Since the Rio upgrade of October 2025, Polygon blocks are final almost immediately.
What you receive. Native POL at your 0x address on Polygon, ready to pay gas. You sign one transaction on the Avalanche C-Chain; on 28 September 2026, 97 AVAX was quoted at 8,946 POL.
Watch out for. Send from the C-Chain (chain ID 43114): AVAX on the X-Chain or P-Chain, for example after staking, must first be moved there with Core's cross-chain transfer. The quoted fee grows with the amount: $3.35 on 97 AVAX and $9.84 on 240 AVAX.
Speed. Median delivery 46 seconds; 90th percentile 50 seconds, over the 90 days to 25 September 2026.

Two-layer staking security

Cross-chain transactions routed via Octopools AMM (scans liquidity across DEXs and chains for minimal slippage), then signed by an MPC group via Threshold Signature Scheme (TSS) — no single party can move user funds. Two security layers: Symbiosis PoS Staking (SIS-collateralised relayer nodes) + Symbiotic restaking (additional slash-able collateral). 2/3 stake quorum for epoch changes.

Two-layer staking security

$8B+ total volume bridged across 5M+ transactions from 800K+ unique wallets. Supports 54 networks — more than any other cross-chain bridge (Across 35+, deBridge 30+, Allbridge 20). EVM + non-EVM in one route — Ethereum, Solana, BNB Chain, TON, Tron, Bitcoin, Arbitrum, Polygon, and 46 more. Per-transaction range: $10 to $140,000 — handles retail swaps and whale trades on the same route.

Still have questions?

How do I bridge AVAX to Polygon?

Connect your wallet on the Symbiosis widget, select Avalanche as the source chain and Polygon as the destination, then choose AVAX as the token you send and POL as the token you receive. Enter the amount and confirm the transaction in your wallet. The routing engine handles the cross-chain transfer automatically, with a median delivery time of about 46 seconds as of September 2026.

How long does it take to bridge from Avalanche to Polygon?

Most transfers settle in roughly 46 seconds at the median, and even slower ones complete within about 50 seconds at the 90th percentile as of September 2026. Delivery is fast and non-custodial throughout.

How much does it cost to bridge from Avalanche to Polygon?

On 28 September 2026, the routing engine quoted a $3.35 fee (full cost in the Symbiosis app plus gas) for 97 AVAX, which returned 8,946 POL, and a $41.48 fee for 970 AVAX, which returned 89,390 POL. The exchange rate is already reflected in the amount you receive. The fee grows with the amount you send.

What is an Avalanche bridge?

An Avalanche bridge moves assets off the Avalanche network to another chain like Polygon without selling them. On this page, Symbiosis routes AVAX from Avalanche to POL on Polygon non-custodially, so you keep control of your funds the entire time.

What is the safest crypto bridge for Avalanche to Polygon?

Symbiosis is non-custodial, audited, and requires no KYC, meaning you never hand custody of your assets to a third party. The Avalanche to Polygon route has settled real volume with a median delivery of 46 seconds as of September 2026, and on 28 September 2026 a quote for 970 AVAX returned 89,390 POL with a $41.48 fee (full cost in the Symbiosis app plus gas).

How do I bridge AVAX to MATIC?

Use the Symbiosis widget with Avalanche set as the source and Polygon as the destination, then pick your token and amount. After you confirm in your wallet, the transfer typically completes in around 46 seconds (median as of September 2026).

Can I bridge POL or MATIC? What's the difference?

Both. POL is the current ticker following the 2024 MATIC→POL rebrand — the underlying token is the same Polygon native asset. Symbiosis supports POL (alias MATIC) as a source token, plus the major Polygon ERC-20s: USDC.e, USDT.POS, WETH, WBTC, AAVE, LINK, UNI, DAI, and others. The swap UI auto-detects whichever symbol your wallet shows.

What's the difference vs. native Avalanche bridge?

Avalanche's official bridge in the Core app connects Avalanche with Ethereum and Bitcoin. Symbiosis routes Avalanche directly to Polygon via Octopools AMM — no Ethereum hop required.
