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.

The next video is a guide on how to bridge tokens from L1 to the zkEVM Testnet. The same video applies to the zkEVM Mainnet.

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.
