Swap POL from Polygon to ETH on Arbitrum One

Swap POL from Polygon to ETH on Arbitrum One. Native POL leaves Polygon. Native ETH is what can arrive on Arbitrum One. Both quotes use the gas label, and they are different coins on different chains.

0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE means POL on chain id 137 and ETH on chain id 42161. There is no ERC-20 on either side. Polygonscan shows the POL debit. Arbiscan shows the ETH credit. Not Nova, and not Ethereum mainnet. Blocks near 2 seconds on Polygon are not the bridge. Read how to bridge assets between chains before you treat the identical string as one asset.

Diagram for Swap POL from Polygon to ETH on Arbitrum One
POL leaves Polygon. ETH is what can arrive on Arbitrum One.

The gas label is two coins here

Spending the label reduces POL. Receiving it increases ETH on Arbitrum One. WETH at 0x82aF49447D8a07e3bd95BD0d56f35241523fBab1 is not the credit. ETH is not WETH. If you needed the wrapper, switch quotes.

Do not spend the fee coin

You are spending the fee coin. The last POL cannot pay chain id 137. Wrapped POL at 0x0d500B1d8E8eF31E21C99d1Db9A6444d3ADf1270 is the wrong balance. This route never approves that contract.

The ETH can pay Arbitrum

That is the point of the native label on chain id 42161. It is not a stablecoin. POL against ETH can move. Take the minimum or refresh. No finish time is published. The ARB token is not part of this quote.

Not mainnet and not Nova

Etherscan will not show this ETH. A Nova view will not either. Chain id 1 keeps its own ETH, with blocks around 12 seconds. Stay with Arbiscan for the credit.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best way to swap POL from Polygon to ETH on Arbitrum One?

0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE means POL on chain id 137 and ETH on chain id 42161. There is no ERC-20 on either side.

Why do both addresses match?

Because 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE marks native gas on each EVM chain. On Polygon, chain id 137, it is POL. On Arbitrum One, chain id 42161, it is ETH. You do not approve it. Polygonscan shows the debit and Arbiscan shows the credit. They are not one balance. Nova is a different network.

Is this a way to mint WETH?

No. WETH is 0x82aF49447D8a07e3bd95BD0d56f35241523fBab1. This route pays native ETH. ETH is not WETH. If a contract needs the wrapper, wrap after the ETH arrives, which spends a little of that ETH. Arbiscan should show a native balance first, on Arbitrum One only. Do not expect the wrapper from this quote.

What if I hold wrapped POL?

Stop. The wrapped contract is 0x0d500B1d8E8eF31E21C99d1Db9A6444d3ADf1270. This page spends native POL only, and it also needs native POL for the fee. Unwrap, then leave a remainder. Arbiscan will not show ETH from a wrapped-only wallet. A wrapper-only balance cannot pay chain id 137. Unwrap to native POL first.
