Compared: BNB Smart Chain and Polygon PoS

	BNB Smart Chain	Polygon PoS
What kind of network	Base network (L1)	Sidechain, writes checkpoints to Ethereum
What pays the fee	BNB	POL
How expensive	low	low
How fast	fast	fast
Block time	—	~2 sec
Address format	0x…	0x…
Memo or tag needed	not required	not required
Ethereum-format address (0x…)	yes	yes

The cost and speed marks are given against each other: both drift with the load on the network.

How an exchange differs from an ordinary bridge

	Velorex	Ordinary bridge
What arrives at the address	Native POL or standard tokens of the Polygon PoS network	It varies: a number of networks hand out the bridged version of the token
Wallet connection and signatures	We do without them: the payout goes to the address from the order	Mandatory: the wallet is connected, contract transactions are signed
Is a Polygon PoS coin needed for fees	Not required to receive	As a rule yes, otherwise the funds cannot be claimed or moved on
When it arrives	As soon as BNB Smart Chain gathers confirmations; the status is shown on the order page	Set by the bridge itself and by the load on both networks
Who holds the funds on the way	Velorex — until the order is closed by the payout	The smart contract of the bridge or its validators

How to make the move from BNB Smart Chain to Polygon PoS

Find the route you need in the table above and work the amount out with the calculator on its page.
Enter an address that belongs to the Polygon PoS network (0x…).
Send the coins over the BNB Smart Chain network to the details in the order — the amount has to match down to the last digit.
When BNB Smart Chain gathers confirmations, automation sends the coins to your address in Polygon PoS. The status is visible on the order page.

Check before sending to Polygon PoS

Take the receiving address only from the Polygon PoS network (0x…).
Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, BNB Smart Chain and Polygon addresses look the same (0x…) — make sure the wallet is switched to Polygon PoS.
Send the coins over the BNB Smart Chain network only: from another network they never reach the order.
Send exactly the amount stated in the order: the automation matches your payment against it, and any difference sends the order back for recalculation.

Questions about the BNB Smart Chain → Polygon PoS pairing

How do coins get from BNB Smart Chain to Polygon PoS?

Through an exchange order: you send coins over BNB Smart Chain, and USDC and POL are credited to your address in Polygon PoS. No bridge contracts, no wallet connection and no wrappers.

What can be carried from BNB Smart Chain to Polygon PoS?

Available: USDC and POL. Rates and minimum amounts are collected in the table above.

How fast is a transfer from BNB Smart Chain to Polygon PoS?

First BNB Smart Chain gathers confirmations, then the payout leaves for Polygon PoS. The final time is dictated by the load on both networks.

What pays the fee in Polygon PoS?

The POL coin. Holding it is not required to receive funds — it is only needed at the moment you send them on yourself.

Which address suits Polygon PoS?

Only one from the Polygon PoS network, of the form 0x… A familiar Ethereum-format address (0x…) will do — all that matters is that Polygon PoS is selected in the wallet.
