How to bridge my Polygon tokens

Our step-by-step guide for bridging with Polygon.

Some networks require a bridge to transfer tokens from one network to another, and Polygon is one of them! All you need is the Polygon Bridge, to transfer ERC tokens to the Polygon side-chain using smart contracts. This may sound a little complicated, but it really isnโ€™t!

You can learn how to use the Polygon Bridge in our simple step-by-step guide below:

  1. Visit the Polygon Bridge website and connect your wallet to the polygon PoS bridge platform.

  2. Click the โ€œDepositโ€ option and choose the network you want to convert tokens from, the token, and the amount.

  3. Click on the โ€œTransferโ€ button. Next, youโ€™ll see a pop-up window with all gas fees related to this operation.

  4. Press โ€œContinueโ€ and confirm the transaction on your wallet.

  5. The transaction request will be sent to the network. This might take a few minutes.

Youโ€™ll then be able to see the tokens in your wallet!

Important note: The Proof of Stake (PoS) bridge is secured by validators and usually takes from 45 minutes to three hours when/if you want to move your funds back to Ethereum.
