Polygon zkEVM is deprecated. It is no longer recommended for new integrations and references on this page reflect historical context only. New chains and applications should use Polygon Chain or Polygon CDK.
Polygon Portal is an asset management interface for Polygon networks. It provides a unified dashboard for bridging, swapping, and monitoring tokens between Polygon Chain and Ethereum. The native bridge supports trustless transfers between Polygon Chain and Ethereum. Third-party bridges and DEXs are also available within the same interface.
The bridge is operational on both testnet and mainnet.
Key capabilities:
  • Faster transactions via the Socket Widget integration.
  • Token swaps via Kyberswap, available directly through the portal.
  • Third-party bridge and DEX support within the same UI.
  • Refueling via the 0x API, which removes the need to separately acquire native tokens for gas.
The Refuel feature is limited to select tokens.
