How to bridge from Polygon
Example quote from 25 September 2026: sending 3,000 USDC (~$3,000) from Ethereum returns about 27,660 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. Here's how the flow works:
Pick the source. Set Ethereum as source and Polygon as destination — the USDC sits in an Ethereum wallet, and the goal is access to Polygon assets.
Connect wallets. MetaMask on the Ethereum side, MetaMask on the Polygon side. Symbiosis reads the destination address automatically from the connected wallet — no manual paste required.
Enter the amount. 3,000 USDC (~$3,000) in this example. Keep enough ETH in the wallet to cover network gas.
Review the quote. Symbiosis displays the exact POL amount on Polygon (about 27,660 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 Ethereum transaction in MetaMask. POL arrives in MetaMask once the route completes — track the transfer on Symbiosis Explorer.
About bridging to Polygon
Why this route. Polygon PoS is a low-cost network for stablecoin payments: Revolut customers in the UK and the European Economic Area send and receive USDC and USDT over it. The widget example brings USDC from Ethereum into POL.
What you receive. POL, which pays for every Polygon PoS transaction, reaches the same 0x address you use on Ethereum. You sign one transaction there.
Watch out for. Polygon has two tokens named USDC: native USDC from Circle and the older bridged USDC.e, at different contract addresses, and an app may accept only one. Keep some ETH for the Ethereum gas.
Speed. Across all routes into Polygon, median delivery 20 seconds; 90th percentile 75 seconds, over the 90 days to 25 September 2026.
