How the USDC Polygon → USDC Arbitrum order runs
- Work out the amount in the calculator and press the exchange button.
- Enter a USDC address in Arbitrum One and a way to reach you.
- Send USDC Polygon in Polygon for exactly the amount stated in the order.
- Once the network confirms your transfer, USD Coin Arbitrum leaves for your address. The order page tracks every step.
Check this before sending USDC Polygon
- The address network is Arbitrum One. Sending through another network usually means losing the transfer.
- 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 Arbitrum One.
- To move USDC on later, put a little ETH at the same address.
- Coins go through an AML check: a flagged transfer can be held until the check is finished.
Polygon PoS against Arbitrum One
| Polygon PoS | Arbitrum One | |
|---|---|---|
| Network type | Sidechain with checkpoints in Ethereum | L2, optimistic rollup |
| Fees are paid in | POL | ETH |
| Fee level | ≈ $0.0017 | ≈ $0.0031 |
| Speed | fast | fast |
| Block | ~2 sec | ~0.25 sec |
| Address shape | 0x… | 0x… |
| Memo or tag | not needed | not needed |
| Ethereum-style address (0x…) | yes | yes |
| Official withdrawal to Ethereum | — | ≈ 7 days (challenge period) |
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 Arbitrum One | 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 Arbitrum One | 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 |

Where is receiving USDC cheaper?
