Question 1

Can I bridge Polygon to Bitcoin without an account?

Accepted Answer

Yes. There's no sign-up, no email and no identity check. All we need is the Bitcoin address you want the BTC 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.

Question 2

Do I need to connect a wallet to bridge Polygon to Bitcoin?

Accepted Answer

It's optional. Connecting lets you send directly from your wallet with one signature, and shows your balance. Skipping it works too: you send POL to a deposit address and name any Bitcoin address as the destination.

Question 3

How long does a Polygon to Bitcoin transfer take?

Accepted Answer

The median across all pairs is 28s, measured from transfers that actually settled. This particular pair depends on how fast Polygon confirms your deposit — the form shows a live estimate for the route you pick before you commit to anything.

Question 4

What does it cost to bridge Polygon to Bitcoin?

Accepted Answer

You see the exact figure before you send, not after. The receipt lists the router's fee, gas on Bitcoin, 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.
