How to Get USDC using a Bridge from Ethereum to Polygon?

PreviousHow to add USDC on MetamaskNextHow to Buy USDC on the Polygon Network

Last updated 1 year ago

Step 1: Set Up Ethereum Wallet

If you don't have an Ethereum wallet, create one on a trusted platform like MetaMask. Ensure you have some Ether (ETH) in your Ethereum wallet to cover gas fees.

Step 2: Visit the Bridge

Go to the official Polygon Bridge website: . You can choose the Polygon Native Bridge or Third-Party Bridges here.

Step 3: Connect Your Wallet

Connect your Ethereum wallet (e.g., MetaMask) to the Polygon Bridge website. Make sure you're connected to the Ethereum network.

Step 4: Choose USDC and Amount

Select USDC as the token you want to bridge. Enter the amount of USDC you want to transfer from Ethereum to Polygon. Make sure to double check the source and recipient blockchains.

Step 5: Initiate Bridge

Initiate the bridge transaction. The USDC will be locked in your Ethereum wallet, and equivalent tokens will be minted on the Polygon network.

Step 6: Wait for Confirmation

Wait for the bridge transaction to be confirmed on the Ethereum network. This may take some time depending on network congestion.

Step 7: Switch to Polygon Network

Once the bridge transaction is confirmed, switch your wallet network from Ethereum to the Polygon network using the network switcher in MetaMask.

Step 8: Add USDC Token

In your Polygon wallet, add the USDC token contract address to view your bridged USDC. You can find the USDC contract address on reputable token information websites.

Step 9: Enjoy Your USDC on Polygon

Congratulations! You now have USDC on the Polygon network. You can use it for transactions, yield farming, or other activities available on Polygon.
