Matic Bridge is the official cross-chain protocol that allows users to move ERC-20 tokens, ETH, and NFTs between the Ethereum mainnet and the Polygon PoS network. It enables access to Polygon's high-speed, near-zero-fee environment while keeping assets pegged 1:1 to Ethereum. Read More

Using Matic Bridge is straightforward with a MetaMask wallet. This step-by-step guide walks you through connecting your wallet, selecting tokens, approving transactions, and confirming your cross-chain transfer from Ethereum to Polygon. Read More

Matic Bridge charges zero protocol fees. You only pay the Ethereum gas fee to lock assets on-chain, which typically ranges from $0.50 to $3. Transactions on Polygon itself cost fractions of a cent, making it one of the most cost-efficient cross-chain solutions available. Read More

Multiple bridges exist for transferring assets to Polygon. The official Matic Bridge offers the highest security as it uses Polygon's native smart contracts. Third-party liquidity bridges like Hop Protocol and Synapse offer faster withdrawals but involve different trust assumptions. Read More

Matic Bridge is secured by Polygon's decentralized validator network and Ethereum smart contracts. Transfers are verified using Merkle proofs, ensuring cryptographic integrity. The bridge has processed billions in volume and is the most trusted cross-chain solution for the Polygon ecosystem. Read More

Bridging ETH from Ethereum to Polygon using Matic Bridge takes under 10 minutes. Connect your MetaMask wallet, select ETH as the token, enter the amount, pay the Ethereum gas fee, and your wrapped ETH (WETH) will arrive on Polygon ready for DeFi, NFTs, and gaming applications. Read More

Bridging USDT to Polygon via Matic Bridge lets you use Tether stablecoins in Polygon's DeFi ecosystem with near-zero transaction fees. USDT on Polygon maintains its 1:1 USD peg and is supported across all major Polygon protocols including Aave, QuickSwap, and Curve. Read More

Polygon offers two bridge types: the PoS Bridge (Proof of Stake) and the Plasma Bridge. The PoS Bridge is faster and supports all ERC-20 tokens with 3-hour withdrawals. The Plasma Bridge offers stronger security guarantees but has a 7-day withdrawal window, primarily used for the native POL token. Read More

MetaMask is the most widely supported wallet for Matic Bridge. This guide covers adding Polygon network to MetaMask, connecting to the bridge, switching between Ethereum and Polygon networks, and troubleshooting common MetaMask connection issues. Read More
