Polygon (Matic) — Bridge your tokens from BSC to Polygon

By Jacalf | Crypto casual Chronicles | 28 May 2021



With the rise of L2 solution Polygon, it makes sense to start looking at it as an alternative for those who use BSC because of low fees.

Polygon steps up on the fee game, by offering even lower fees than BSC (from 20c of a dollar to 1c).

So how can I easily start using Polygon with my BSC tokens

First of all, have your tokens ready on your metamask set up with the BSC Mainnet.

Connecting MetaMask to Binance Smart Chain | Binance Academy
MetaMask can be downloaded on Chrome and Firefox, or on iOS and Android if you're a mobile user. For the purposes of…academy.binance.co
 

Also, set up the Matic network on metamask:

Config Matic on Metamask | Matic Network | Documentation
In order to view the flow of funds in your accounts, on the Matic Network, you will need to configure Matic's {testnet…docs.matic.network

Now we are going to use 0 exchange to bridge our tokens (always type the URL on your browser in order to prevent redirects to scam pages!)

Zero Exchange - Powered by DeFi
Zero Exchange is the worlds first multi-blockchain DEX, offering trading on Ethereum, Avalanche, Binance Smart Chain…www.0.exchange

On 0exchange select the Binance Smart Chain network

First, we need to get some zUSDC which will be the token that will be transferred to the Polygon network

To do this, on the left side menu, select Swap and exchange the amount of BNB that you want to move over to Polygon, and swap it for zUSDC

After getting you zUSDC we are going to bridge it to Polygon.

On the left side menu, select Transfer

And select the token and the network that you want to move it to (BSC to Polygon)

Just click transfer and your zUSDC will be available on your wallet on the Polygon network.

If you want to exchange your zUSDC to Matic for example you can do that on 0Exchange and that's it.

Congratulations you are now on Polygon and able to use it to its full potential.

 


Here are some good projects on Polygon that I currently use:
