Swap USDC from Polygon to ETH on Ethereum
Swap USDC from Polygon to ETH on Ethereum. Circle USDC leaves Polygon. Native ETH is what can arrive on Ethereum. You sell a dollar token and receive the coin that pays gas on chain id 1.
Spend 0x3c499c542cEF5E3811e1192ce70d8cC03d5c3359. Receive the native gas label 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE, which on Ethereum means ETH, not WETH. Polygonscan shows the USDC debit. Etherscan shows ETH, not a token transfer to WETH at 0xC02aaA39b223FE8D0A0e5C4F27eAD9083C756Cc2. See how cross-chain bridges work before you treat this as a same-chain wrap.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best way to swap USDC from Polygon to ETH on Ethereum?
Spend 0x3c499c542cEF5E3811e1192ce70d8cC03d5c3359. Receive the native gas label 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE, which on Ethereum means ETH, not WETH.
Is the destination WETH?
No. WETH is 0xC02aaA39b223FE8D0A0e5C4F27eAD9083C756Cc2. This route pays native ETH, marked 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE. ETH is not WETH. Etherscan should show a native credit, not a WETH token transfer. If you needed the wrapper, pick the WETH route. Native ETH and WETH are different lines in the wallet.
Can I start from USDC.e?
Not on this page. USDC.e is 0x2791Bca1f2de4661ED88A30C99A7a9449Aa84174. The quote names 0x3c499c542cEF5E3811e1192ce70d8cC03d5c3359. Polygonscan will show an approval of the wrong contract if you force the bridged token. Switch to native USDC first. Chain id 137 must be selected. Holding only USDC.e means this quote cannot see your dollars.
Does Polygon POL show up as ETH?
No. POL is the gas coin on chain id 137. ETH is the gas coin on chain id 1. They share no balance. The 0xEeee label means whichever native coin the chain uses. Etherscan and Polygonscan are separate records. POL never arrives as ETH on chain id 1.
