Ethereum against Polygon PoS

	Ethereum	Polygon PoS
Network type	Layer one (L1)	Sidechain with checkpoints in Ethereum
Fees are paid in	ETH	POL
Fee level	high	low
Speed	medium	fast
Block	~12 sec	~2 sec
Address shape	0x…	0x…
Memo or tag	not needed	not needed
Ethereum-style address (0x…)	yes	yes

Fee and speed levels are comparative: both move with how busy the network is.

How this differs from a classic bridge

	RubyCash	Classic bridge
What lands at your address	Native POL or ordinary Polygon PoS tokens	Depends: in some networks it is the bridged version of the token
Wallet and signatures	Not needed: the coins go to the address from the order	Needed: connect the wallet and sign contract transactions
A coin for fees in Polygon PoS	Not needed to receive	Often needed, or the funds cannot be claimed or moved on
Timing	After confirmations in Ethereum; the order page tracks it	Depends on the bridge and the load of both networks
Who holds the funds meanwhile	RubyCash for the life of the order, with an AML check	The bridge contract or its validators

Moving from Ethereum to Polygon PoS, step by step

Pick a route in the table above and work out the amount in the calculator on its page.
Enter your own address in Polygon PoS (0x…).
Send the coins in Ethereum to the address from the order, for exactly the amount stated.
Once Ethereum confirms the transfer, the coins leave for your address in Polygon PoS. The order page tracks every step.

Check this before sending to Polygon PoS

The receiving address has to belong to Polygon PoS (0x…).
Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, BNB Smart Chain and Polygon all use the same address shape (0x…). Make sure the wallet is switched to Polygon PoS.
Send the coins in Ethereum only: a transfer through another network never reaches the order.
Coins go through an AML check: a flagged transfer can be held until the check is finished.

Common questions: Ethereum → Polygon PoS

How do I get coins from Ethereum into Polygon PoS?

Through an exchange order: you send coins in Ethereum and USDC, USDT and POL arrive at your address in Polygon PoS. No bridge contracts, no wallet to connect, no wrappers.

What can be moved from Ethereum into Polygon PoS?

Right now: USDC, USDT and POL. Rates and floors are in the table above.

How long does the move from Ethereum to Polygon PoS take?

First the confirmations in Ethereum, then the send into Polygon PoS. After that it comes down to how busy the networks are. A block in Ethereum closes in about 12 sec.

What pays the fees in Polygon PoS?

The POL coin. You do not need it to receive funds — only later, when you decide to move them on.

Which address does Polygon PoS need?

An address in Polygon PoS: 0x… A plain Ethereum-style address (0x…) works, but the wallet has to be switched to Polygon PoS.
