Bridging assets to zkEVM
Caution
Check the list of potential risks associated with the use of Polygon zkEVM in the Disclosures section.
Users can deposit assets from Ethereum and transact off-chain on Polygon zkEVM. For moving assets across chains (L1 ↔ zkEVM), you will need to use the zkEVM Bridge. The bridge interface is available for both Mainnet Beta and Testnet in the Polygon Wallet Suite.
Step-by-step guide¶
Follow this step-by-step guide on how to bridge assets from Ethereum to Polygon zkEVM Mainnet and vice-versa. Or, from an Ethereum testnet to zkEVM testnet, and conversely.
- On the Polygon Wallet Suite website, select the zkEVM tab, which is next to the Proof-of-Stake tab:
-
Click on the Bridge module to access the zkEVM environment.
-
Set the amount of tokens to transfer from Ethereum network to zkEVM Mainnet (Or, from an Ethereum testnet to zkEVM testnet).
- Recent transactions and pending transactions can be viewed on the right hand side of the page.
- Click the Bridge ETH to zkEVM testnet button to proceed. This is followed by Metamask’s prompt to approve gas to be spent.
-
Click Confirm to approve the bridge transaction.
-
And allow a few moments for your transaction to be processed.
-
Once it is completed, past and pending transactions can be viewed by clicking the Transactions button located on the left side of the menu.
