Arbitrum → Polygon
Network-specific checks before a cross-chain transaction.
Arbitrum and Polygon have separate network contexts. A cross-chain route must account for the source environment, destination environment and the mechanism used to transfer or represent the asset.
Route Intelligence
Arbitrum: Arbitrum is an Ethereum Layer 2 environment with its own balances and application ecosystem.
Polygon: Polygon provides an EVM-compatible environment with its own network balances and token representations.
On the source side, Confirm the Arbitrum token contract rather than assuming an identical ticker represents the same asset everywhere. On the destination side, Confirm that the token is held on Polygon and verify its contract before moving or swapping it.
Compare L2 transaction costs with any bridge or liquidity costs required to reach the destination. On Polygon, Compare Polygon transaction costs with bridge and liquidity costs when consolidating small balances.
Before You Bridge
- Source: confirm the asset is actually held on Arbitrum.
- Destination: confirm the wallet and destination network.
- Token: verify the exact asset representation rather than relying on ticker or logo.
- Costs: compare gas, bridge fees, liquidity, price impact and the final received amount.
- Security: Verify the network, contract and destination before signing cross-chain transactions. At the destination, Check network selection and contract addresses before signing, especially when an asset also exists on Ethereum.
Use the Live Bridge Tool
When a live route is available, open Dust Sweeper and review the current quote immediately before signing. Route availability, liquidity and network conditions can change.
