Crystal-Trade or a classic bridge: what is the difference
| Crystal-Trade | Classic bridge | |
|---|---|---|
| What you receive | Native POL or standard Polygon PoS tokens | Depends on the bridge: on some networks it is a bridged version of the token |
| Wallet connection and approvals | Not needed: you send coins to the order address | Needed: you connect a wallet and sign contract transactions |
| Coins for fees on Polygon PoS | Not needed to receive | Often needed to claim funds or move them after the bridge |
| Time | After the OP Mainnet (Optimism) confirmations; the status is shown on the order page | Depends on the bridge and the load of both networks |
| Who holds the funds during the transfer | Crystal-Trade, for the duration of the order (with an AML check) | The bridge smart contract or its validators |
How to move coins from OP Mainnet (Optimism) to Polygon PoS
- Choose a direction in the table above and enter the amount in the calculator on its page.
- Paste your Polygon PoS address (0x…) to receive the coins.
- Send the coins over the OP Mainnet (Optimism) network to the address from the order, exactly in the amount shown.
- After the OP Mainnet (Optimism) confirmations, the coins are sent to your Polygon PoS address. The status is shown on the order page.
Before you bridge to Polygon PoS
- The receiving address must be on the Polygon PoS network (0x…).
- Addresses on Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, BNB Smart Chain and Polygon look the same (0x…): make sure the wallet shows Polygon PoS as the network.
- Send coins over OP Mainnet (Optimism) only — a transfer over another network will not reach the order.
- Funds go through an AML check; high-risk transfers may be held until the check is complete.
