πHow to: Move Assets onto Polygon
Moving assets onto Polygon by using a bridge or by withdrawing from an exchange.
π Option 1: Bridging Assets Onto Polygon
Ethereum (ETH) to Polygon (MATIC)
The recommended method for bridging assets from Ethereum to Polygon is by using Polygon's official bridge. The official bridge currently supports a wide array of tokens that can be bridged by paying a fee in ETH. When you first use the bridge, 0.1 MATIC will be sent to your account so you are able to pay for the transaction fees.
