BNB Chain to Polygon bridge

There is no official bridge between BNB Smart Chain and Polygon PoS, but many services connect them. Pool bridges like Stargate, cross-chain swaps like deBridge, Relay and Symbiosis, and exchange withdrawals all work. USDT and USDC on BSC are Binance-Peg tokens and Circle CCTP does not run on BSC, so you receive Polygon tokens from a bridge, a swap or an exchange. You pay gas in BNB on BSC and in POL on Polygon.

Live quotes

What popular services pay out right now for BNB Chain → Polygon.

Data from the LI.FI aggregator, updated just now. Quotes are estimates: the service shows the final amount before you confirm.

Short answer

Both networks are networks, so the same 0x address works on BNB Smart Chain and Polygon. MetaMask, Rabby and most EVM wallets support both.

Polygon PoS uses POL for . Polygon has two kinds of USDC: native USDC issued by Circle and the older USDC.e. Many apps now expect native USDC.

Why this route is difficult

No route links the two networks directly. Every option relies on a third party: pools, , or an exchange.

Tokens on BSC are Binance-Peg versions, so they are swapped or paid out from pools rather than moved one to one.

Possible approaches

1Pool bridge

Stargate takes your into a pool on BNB Chain and pays from its pool on Polygon.

Trade-offSimple for stablecoins, but limited by pool size and the tokens it holds.

2Cross-chain swap

deBridge, Relay or Symbiosis swap and move in one step, such as BNB to POL or USDT to USDC.

Trade-offWorks with many tokens, but the quote includes a fee or spread.

3Centralized exchange

Deposit on BEP20 and withdraw on the Polygon network.

Trade-offOften cheap, but needs an account and the exchange holds your funds.

How to move BNB Chain to Polygon

Move from BNB Chain to Polygon with a cross-chain swap

  1. 1

    Check your balances

    Keep some BNB on BNB Chain for fees. Your 0x address is the same on Polygon.

  2. 2

    Open a bridge

    Open deBridge, Relay, Symbiosis or LI.FI. Pick BNB Chain as the source and Polygon as the destination.

  3. 3

    Choose what to receive

    For USDC, pick native USDC. If you have no POL, receive some POL or pick a route that adds gas.

  4. 4

    Confirm and check

    Check the amount you will receive, confirm in your wallet and then check your Polygon balance.

Fees and timing

BNB Chain fees are usually a few cents.

Bridges include their fee and the Polygon fee in the quote. Compare the amount you will receive.

Polygon fees are low, but every later transaction needs some POL.

Common mistakes

  • Receiving USDC.e when the app you use expects native USDC on Polygon.
  • Picking Polygon zkEVM or another network instead of Polygon PoS.
  • Arriving on Polygon without POL for gas.

Before you transfer

  • Try a small amount first.
  • Binance-Peg tokens use 18 decimals on BSC, so do not compare raw amounts with Polygon tokens.
  • If a token does not show in your wallet, add the right contract on Polygon.
