Swap POL from Polygon to WETH on Arbitrum One

Swap POL from Polygon to WETH on Arbitrum One. Native POL leaves Polygon. WETH is what can arrive on Arbitrum One. The wrapper cannot pay gas, so this is a weak way to fund a new Arbitrum wallet.

Sell 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE. Buy 0x82aF49447D8a07e3bd95BD0d56f35241523fBab1. Native ETH would use the gas label on chain id 42161, and this quote does not. Polygonscan shows POL. Arbiscan shows WETH. Not Nova. Arbitrum One still charges ETH after this WETH arrives.

WETH strands a gas-poor wallet

If the job was fees, this route is wrong. Native ETH pays them. WETH does not. ETH is not WETH. Pick the native output when the next transaction must be paid by what arrives.

Native POL is not WMATIC

0x0d500B1d8E8eF31E21C99d1Db9A6444d3ADf1270 is wrapped POL. This quote spends native POL and still needs some left for chain id 137. About 2 second blocks are not the bridge finish.

Mainnet WETH is not this Arbitrum wrapper

0xC02aaA39b223FE8D0A0e5C4F27eAD9083C756Cc2 is mainnet. Etherscan will not show this credit. The Arbitrum wrapper is its own address. Nova will not show it either.

POL against the Arbitrum wrapper

POL and ether both move. The minimum is your floor. Refresh when the quote expires. A stablecoin output is the right page when you wanted dollars.

Frequently asked questions

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

Sell 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE. Buy 0x82aF49447D8a07e3bd95BD0d56f35241523fBab1. XAUConnect compares live routes and lets your own wallet sign.

Can I unwrap the WETH with no ETH?

No. Unwrapping 0x82aF49447D8a07e3bd95BD0d56f35241523fBab1 costs ETH on chain id 42161. This route does not deliver that ETH. ETH is not WETH. Arbiscan can list WETH while the ETH line is empty. If you needed gas, buy native ETH via 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE instead. This is not Nova. WETH cannot pay that unwrap by itself.

Does Polygonscan approve the gas label?

It should not. 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE is native POL on chain id 137. You should see a native debit. If you are approving wrapped POL at 0x0d500B1d8E8eF31E21C99d1Db9A6444d3ADf1270, you are on the wrong token. Keep native POL for the fee. The wrapper and the native coin are different wallet lines.

What if I wanted USDC?

Leave this quote. Native USDC is 0xaf88d065e77c8cC2239327C5EDb3A432268e5831. USDC.e is a different contract. WETH tracks ether, not a dollar. You would still need ETH later to move the USDC. Read the output before you spend POL. Dollars and WETH are different jobs. Pick the dollar route if that is the goal.
