Swap POL from Polygon to DAI on Ethereum
Swap POL from Polygon to DAI on Ethereum. Native POL leaves Polygon. Maker DAI is what can arrive on Ethereum. You sell a volatile gas coin for Maker's dollar token.
The source is the native label 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE. The destination is 0x6B175474E89094C44Da98b954EedeAC495271d0F. Polygonscan records POL on chain id 137. Etherscan records DAI on chain id 1. DAI is not Circle USDC and not Tether. Polygon is where that POL balance has to sit before you sign.
Maker DAI can drift
Leave POL for the network
DAI cannot relay itself
Do not look for POL on Etherscan

Frequently asked questions
What is the best way to swap POL from Polygon to DAI on Ethereum?
The source is the native label 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE. The destination is 0x6B175474E89094C44Da98b954EedeAC495271d0F. XAUConnect compares live routes and lets your own wallet sign.
Is DAI safe to treat as USDC?
No. USDC is Circle, at 0xA0b86991c6218b36c1d19D4a2e9Eb0cE3606eB48 on Ethereum. DAI is Maker at 0x6B175474E89094C44Da98b954EedeAC495271d0F. This route sells native POL and buys Maker. If a deposit form says Circle, you are on the wrong output. Etherscan shows which contract arrived. Do not send Maker DAI into a Circle-only deposit.
What does the shared gas label mean on this route?
Only the source uses 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE, and on Polygon that is POL. The destination address is the DAI contract, not the gas label. You do not approve POL. Polygonscan shows a native debit. You still must not spend the last POL. A native debit is not an ERC-20 approval.
Do I need ETH before the DAI shows up?
You need POL to send. You need ETH later if you want to transfer the DAI, because Maker's token is not gas. The route does not include that ETH. About 12 seconds is Ethereum's block on Etherscan, not a finish time for the bridge. Bring ETH on chain id 1 separately.
