Route
Bridge Ethereum to Polygon, no account needed
Swap ETH to POL without an account or KYC
Two routes serve this pair. Connect a wallet and approve one transaction, or skip the wallet entirely and send ETH to a deposit address from wherever you hold it. Both are quoted side by side, and POL lands on Polygon at whatever address you name.

Sending Ethereum for Polygon, step by step
- 01
Enter how much ETH you're sending, then either connect a wallet or paste the Polygon address you want the POL sent to.
- 02
Compare the two routes. Each shows what you'd receive and its all-in cost, ordered by what you get — not by what we earn.
- 03
Confirm. If you connected a wallet, that's one signature. Either way you can verify the delivery on the Polygon explorer.
Q&A
Ethereum to Polygon, answered
Can I bridge Ethereum to Polygon without an account?
Yes. There's no sign-up, no email and no identity check. All we need is the Polygon address you want the POL sent to. A recovery key is generated locally so you can find this transfer again later — it controls no funds and you can ignore it.
Do I need to pass KYC to bridge Ethereum to Polygon?
No. There is no identity check on this route, because there is no account to attach one to. No email, no phone, no document. That is not the same as being anonymous. Your Ethereum deposit and the Polygon delivery are both permanent public records that anyone can read. We collect no identity. The chains still publish the transaction.
Do I need to connect a wallet to bridge Ethereum to Polygon?
It's optional. Connecting lets you send directly from your wallet with one signature, and shows your balance. Skipping it works too: you send ETH to a deposit address and name any Polygon address as the destination.
How long does a Ethereum to Polygon transfer take?
The median across all pairs is 27s, measured from transfers that actually settled. This particular pair depends on how fast Ethereum confirms your deposit — the form shows a live estimate for the route you pick before you commit to anything.
What does it cost to bridge Ethereum to Polygon?
You see the exact figure before you send, not after. The receipt lists the router's fee, gas on Polygon, and our own fee where we take one, then a total in dollars and as a percentage of what you're sending. That total is always what you send minus what you receive, so you can verify it against the two amounts yourself.
Is the Ethereum to Polygon bridge non-custodial?
Yes. BlockSquad never takes possession of your funds and executes no transfer itself. Your ETH goes to the router's deposit address and the POL is delivered to the Polygon address you named — both are on-chain transactions you can verify yourself. There is no BlockSquad balance to withdraw from, which is also why there is nothing for us to freeze.
