# Polygon Portal

> How to connect a wallet, bridge tokens, claim bridged assets, and add custom tokens using Polygon Portal.

[Polygon Portal](https://portal.polygon.technology/) is an asset management interface for Polygon networks. It provides a unified dashboard for bridging, swapping, and monitoring tokens across Polygon PoS, zkEVM, and Ethereum.

The native bridge supports trustless transfers between Polygon PoS, zkEVM, and Ethereum. Third-party bridges and DEXs are also available within the same interface.

<Note>
  * The bridge is operational on both testnet and mainnet.
  * The native bridge does not support bridging tokens directly between Polygon PoS and zkEVM chains.
</Note>

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.

<Note>
  The Refuel feature is limited to select tokens.
