USDC: moving from Ethereum to Polygon PoS
The same USDC, only in another network: send USDC ERC20 and collect USDC Polygon at your own address in Polygon PoS. No bridge contracts, no signatures, no wrapped tokens.

The figure is indicative; the exact amount is locked in the order.
Today USDC ERC20 goes for 0.9999 USDC Polygon, and USDC Polygon goes for 1.0001 USDC ERC20. Market over 24 hours: USDC ERC20 against USDC Polygon a move of 0%. The week added a move of 0%.
The weekly corridor ran from 1 to 1 USDC Polygon, a spread of 0%. A single order takes 10,500 to 10,000,000 USDC ERC20. In dollars that is roughly $10,497.28.
The payout leaves in the Polygon network, so the receiving address has to belong to that network.
Who takes the USDC ERC20 → USDC Polygon route
- Moving between networksUSDC in Ethereum (ERC20) (fee ≈ $0.054) becomes Polygon (fee ≈ $0.0019) — the usual way to top up a wallet or an exchange that speaks one network only.
- A road both waysThe USDC Polygon → USDC ERC20 direction is open too, so going back into USDC takes the same route.

Payout network for USDC
The same USDC goes out in several networks. Rates and lower limits differ, and the fee is charged by the network itself.
| Network | Per USDC ERC20 | From | Network fee | Speed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Polygon open now | 0.9999 | 10,500 USDC ERC20 | ≈ $0.0019 | fast |
| Solana | 0.9999 | 100 USDC ERC20 | ≈ $0.00056 | fast |
| Arbitrum One | 1.0001 | — | ≈ $0.0035 | fast |
| BASE | 1.0001 | — | — | — |
| BNB Smart Chain (BEP20) | 1.0001 | — | ≈ $0.0025 | fast |

How the USDC ERC20 → USDC Polygon order runs
- Work out the amount in the calculator: orders start at 10,500 USDC ERC20.
- Enter a USDC address in Polygon and a way to reach you.
- Send USDC ERC20 in Ethereum (ERC20) for exactly the amount stated in the order.
- Once the network confirms your transfer, USD Coin Polygon leaves for your address. The order page tracks every step.
Check this before sending USDC ERC20
- The address network is Polygon. Sending through another network usually means losing the transfer.
- The transfer must not be smaller than 10,500 USDC ERC20.
- Copy the address whole, then compare the first and last characters after pasting.
- Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, BNB Smart Chain and Polygon all use the same address shape (0x…). Make sure the wallet is switched to Polygon PoS.
- To move USDC on later, put a little POL at the same address.
- Coins go through an AML check: a flagged transfer can be held until the check is finished.
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 | ≈ $0.054 | ≈ $0.0019 |
| 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 | USDC in Polygon PoS | 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 |
