Polygon PoS → Ethereum routes

Network	Route	Rate	From
Polygon PoS	USDC Polygon → USDC ERC20	1 USDC Polygon = 1.0055 USDC ERC20	100 USDC Polygon
Polygon PoS	USDT Polygon → USDT ERC20	1 USDT Polygon = 0.9999 USDT ERC20	100 USDT Polygon
Polygon PoS	POL → ETH	1 POL = 0.0000400694 ETH	2,093.58 POL
Polygon PoS	USDC Polygon → DAI	1 USDC Polygon = 1.0031 DAI	200 USDC Polygon

Polygon PoS against Ethereum

	Polygon PoS	Ethereum
Network type	Sidechain with checkpoints in Ethereum	Layer one (L1)
Fees are paid in	POL	ETH
Fee level	low	high
Speed	fast	medium
Block	~2 sec	~12 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 ETH or ordinary Ethereum 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 Ethereum	Not needed to receive	Often needed, or the funds cannot be claimed or moved on
Timing	After confirmations in Polygon PoS; 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 Polygon PoS to Ethereum, 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 Ethereum (0x…).
Send the coins in Polygon PoS to the address from the order, for exactly the amount stated.
Once Polygon PoS confirms the transfer, the coins leave for your address in Ethereum. The order page tracks every step.

Check this before sending to Ethereum

The receiving address has to belong to Ethereum (0x…).
Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, BNB Smart Chain and Polygon all use the same address shape (0x…). Make sure the wallet is switched to Ethereum.
Send the coins in Polygon PoS 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: Polygon PoS → Ethereum

How do I get coins from Polygon PoS into Ethereum?

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

What can be moved from Polygon PoS into Ethereum?

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

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

First the confirmations in Polygon PoS, then the send into Ethereum. After that it comes down to how busy the networks are. A block in Polygon PoS closes in about 2 sec.

What pays the fees in Ethereum?

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

Which address does Ethereum need?

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