Swap POL from Polygon to USDC on Ethereum
Swap POL from Polygon to USDC on Ethereum. Native POL leaves Polygon. Circle USDC is what can arrive on Ethereum. You spend the gas coin, so the fee and the principal come from one balance.
The source label is 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE, meaning POL on chain id 137, not an ERC-20. The output is 0xA0b86991c6218b36c1d19D4a2e9Eb0cE3606eB48. Polygonscan shows POL leaving. Etherscan shows Circle USDC. You will still need ETH on Ethereum to move that USDC. Ethereum is the chain that charges that later fee.
Do not drain the POL balance
USDC is not a gas top-up
The 0xEeee string is not a contract
Ticker nostalgia is a trap

Frequently asked questions
What is the best way to swap POL from Polygon to USDC on Ethereum?
The source label is 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE, meaning POL on chain id 137, not an ERC-20. The output is 0xA0b86991c6218b36c1d19D4a2e9Eb0cE3606eB48.
Is 0xEeee something I approve on Polygonscan?
No. 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE is the native gas label for POL on chain id 137. Polygonscan should show a native debit, not an ERC-20 approval of that string. The USDC you can receive is 0xA0b86991c6218b36c1d19D4a2e9Eb0cE3606eB48 on Etherscan. Approving a random contract is a different action. Native transfers do not use an allowance.
I hold WMATIC. Will this spend it?
No. Wrapped POL, still often labeled WMATIC, is 0x0d500B1d8E8eF31E21C99d1Db9A6444d3ADf1270. This route spends native POL only. If that wrapper is your balance, you are on the wrong asset. Unwrap, or request a quote that names the wrapped contract, and keep native POL for gas. Native POL is the only principal here.
Does the USDC arrive with ETH for fees?
No. This quote pays Circle USDC, not ETH. ETH is not WETH, and neither one is included as a spare gas balance. You need ETH already on chain id 1 if you want to move 0xA0b86991c6218b36c1d19D4a2e9Eb0cE3606eB48. Etherscan will show the USDC alone. This hop does not attach spare ETH.
