Bridge USDC from Base to USDC on Polygon
Send USDC from Base and receive USDC on Polygon. You state the destination; ROZO selects the route, executes the pay-in on Base and the payout on Polygon, and reconciles both legs. Typical completion is 1–2 minutes.

Exchange rate, service fee, network fee and the exact receive amount are quoted live in the bridge before you confirm — they depend on the amount and on conditions at that moment, so we do not publish a fixed number here.
How to bridge USDC on Base to USDC on Polygon
- Open the bridge with this pair preselected and enter the amount you want to send. The quote shows the amount that will arrive on Polygon.
- Paste the Polygon address that should receive the funds ( 0x + 40 hex characters). Confirm it is an address you control.
- Approve the pay-in from your Base wallet. ROZO handles the rest and shows progress until the payout lands.
Wallet, gas and address requirements
- Source (Base): you need USDC to send and ETH to pay for the pay-in transaction.
- Destination (Polygon): Any EVM address can receive. You do not need POL on Polygon to receive.
- Address format: 0x + 40 hex characters.
- Exchange deposit addresses: only use one if the exchange lists USDC on Polygon and does not require a memo or tag you cannot supply. See bridging to an exchange.
If something goes wrong
A transfer that has been paid in is never dropped: it either settles or is returned. If the payout has not appeared after the expected window, check the status page, then read why a transfer is delayed. Keep the source transaction hash — it is the identifier support needs.
Verify what arrived
Look up your destination address on PolygonScan and confirm both the amount and the asset issuer match native usdc issued by circle. Step-by-step: how to verify the token you received.
FAQ
What exactly do I receive on Polygon?
Native USDC issued by Circle — USDC on Polygon. It is not a wrapped or bridged representation of the asset you sent.
Do I need POL to receive on Polygon?
Any EVM address can receive. You do not need POL on Polygon to receive.
How long does Base to Polygon take?
Typically 1–2 minutes. Settlement waits for finality on Base before the payout on Polygon is released, so congestion on the source chain is the main variable.
What is the minimum amount?
1 USDC. Below that, the network fee on the destination chain would consume a disproportionate share of the transfer.
