How to bridge from Polygon to Arbitrum

Example quote from 25 September 2026: sending 27,739 POL (~$3,000) from Polygon returns about 1.1163 ETH on Arbitrum One via Symbiosis, estimated ~51 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 Polygon as source and Arbitrum One as destination — the POL sits in a Polygon wallet, and the goal is access to Arbitrum DeFi (GMX, Camelot, Aave).
Connect wallets. MetaMask on the Polygon side, MetaMask on the Arbitrum One side. Symbiosis reads the destination address automatically from the connected wallet — no manual paste required.
Enter the amount. 27,739 POL (~$3,000) in this example. Keep enough POL in the wallet to cover network gas.
Review the quote. Symbiosis displays the exact ETH amount on Arbitrum One (about 1.1163 ETH in this example), the flat Symbiosis fee in USD, and ETA (~51 sec). The quote is locked in before signing — 2% slippage tolerance protects against sudden price moves.
Sign and confirm. Sign the Polygon transaction in MetaMask. ETH arrives in MetaMask once the route completes — track the transfer on Symbiosis Explorer.

About the Polygon to Arbitrum One route

Why this route. Arbitrum One is home to GMX perpetuals, Aave V3, Pendle and Fluid; Hyperliquid's onboarding guide also lists ETH on Arbitrum, for deposit gas, among what a new trader needs.
What you receive. ETH on Arbitrum One, which pays for Arbitrum gas. Starting the transfer takes one signed transaction on Polygon, and the 28 September 2026 quote returned 0.3921 ETH for 9,100 POL.
Watch out for. Choose Arbitrum One (chain ID 42161), not Arbitrum Nova (chain ID 42170). If you later want this ETH on Ethereum mainnet, withdrawals through the official Arbitrum bridge wait at least seven days.
Speed. Median delivery 31 seconds; 90th percentile 51 seconds, over the 90 days to 25 September 2026.

Still have questions?

How do I bridge from Polygon to Arbitrum?

Open the Symbiosis widget, set source Polygon and destination Arbitrum, pick token in (POL, USDC, USDT, DAI, WETH) and connect a wallet. One transaction on Polygon delivers the destination token to your Arbitrum address — median 31 seconds end-to-end as of September 2026.

What is the best Polygon to Arbitrum bridge?

"Best" depends on what you optimise for. By speed Symbiosis delivers a 31-second median on this route (real on-chain data as of September 2026). By coverage it accepts POL, USDC, USDT, DAI and WETH and can output any token Arbitrum supports — not just same-token bridges. By cost it charged a flat $1.35 fee (full cost in the Symbiosis app plus gas) regardless of size on 28 September 2026 — for example, 9,100 POL returned 0.3921 ETH.

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

Median 31 seconds end-to-end; 90th percentile 51 seconds as of September 2026. Both Polygon and Arbitrum have fast finality.

Can I bridge MATIC to Arbitrum?

MATIC was rebranded to POL in September 2024 on Polygon PoS. Symbiosis routes POL (the native token of Polygon PoS, same contract as the former MATIC after migration) from Polygon to Arbitrum and converts it to any Arbitrum token you pick — for example 9,100 POL produces 0.3921 ETH on Arbitrum at the quote of 28 September 2026 (fee $1.35).

What tokens can I bridge from Polygon to Arbitrum?

On the source side: POL, USDC, USDT, DAI, WETH and other major ERC-20s on Polygon PoS. On the destination side you can pick any token Arbitrum supports — Symbiosis converts and delivers in one transaction.

What is the fee to bridge Polygon to Arbitrum?

About $1.35 per transaction regardless of size on the Symbiosis quotes of 28 September 2026: 9,100 POL returned 0.3921 ETH and 91,000 POL returned 3.917 ETH, both with a $1.35 fee (full cost in the Symbiosis app plus gas). The exchange rate is already reflected in the amount you receive.

How do I bridge from Arbitrum to Polygon?

Use the same Symbiosis widget but flip source to Arbitrum and destination to Polygon — the reverse route is also live. See the Polygon bridge hub for Polygon-side statistics and the Arbitrum bridge hub for outbound routes.

Can I receive ETH on Arbitrum when bridging from Polygon?

Yes. POL on Polygon is swapped into native ETH on Arbitrum One in one transaction, with a median of 31 seconds and 90% of transfers under 51 seconds as of September 2026. The widget shows the exact fee and receive amount before you sign.
