USDC: changing network from Arbitrum One to Polygon PoS


It is still USDC, only in a different blockchain: you send USDC Arbitrum, and the payout of USDC Polygon goes to your address in Polygon PoS. Bridge contracts, signatures and wrapped tokens play no part.

Right now 1 USDC Arbitrum gets you 1.001 USDC Polygon; the other way round, 1 USDC Polygon is 0.999001 USDC Arbitrum. Over 24 hours USDC Arbitrum/USDC Polygon came in at about 0%. Over the week, about 0%.
The weekly range ran from 1 to 1 USDC Polygon, a spread of 0%. One order takes from 100.67 to 10,000,000 USDC Arbitrum. In dollars that is roughly $100.67.
The robot sends the payout in the Polygon network, so the address has to belong to that network — a transfer to another one will not arrive.
Which network USDC arrives in
The same USDC goes out in several networks. Each has its own rate and its own floor, and the fee is charged by the network itself.

How the USDC Arbitrum → USDC Polygon exchange runs
- Work out the amount in the calculator — orders start at 100.67 USDC Arbitrum.
- Give a USDC address on Polygon and a contact for the order.
- Send USDC Arbitrum on Arbitrum One, exactly the amount the order shows.
- Nothing else is needed from you: as soon as the network confirms the transfer, the robot sends USD Coin Polygon to your address. The order page shows the status.
Check this before sending USDC Arbitrum
- The address network is Polygon. Sending through another network almost always means losing the transfer.
- The transfer must not be smaller than 100.67 USDC Arbitrum.
- Copy the address in full, then check its first and last characters once it is pasted.
- Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, BNB Smart Chain and Polygon addresses look the same (0x…) — make sure the wallet is switched to Polygon PoS.
- Keep a reserve of POL at the same address — without it USDC cannot be sent on later.
- Send exactly the amount stated in the order: the automation matches your payment against it, and any difference sends the order back for recalculation.

Compared: Arbitrum One and Polygon PoS
| Arbitrum One | Polygon PoS | |
|---|---|---|
| What kind of network | Optimistic rollup (L2) | Sidechain, writes checkpoints to Ethereum |
| What pays the fee | ETH | POL |
| How expensive | ≈ $0.0029 | ≈ $0.0016 |
| How fast | fast | fast |
| Block time | ~0.25 sec | ~2 sec |
| Address format | 0x… | 0x… |
| Memo or tag needed | not required | not required |
| Ethereum-format address (0x…) | yes | yes |
| Withdrawal to Ethereum through the official bridge | ≈ 7 days — the challenge window runs | — |
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 | the USDC token in 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 Arbitrum One 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 |

Why people take the USDC Arbitrum → USDC Polygon route
- Changing networkUSDC from Arbitrum One (fee ≈ $0.0029) moves over to Polygon (fee ≈ $0.0016). That is how people top up a wallet or an exchange that takes one network only.
- It works both waysThe USDC Polygon → USDC Arbitrum direction is open as well — going back into USDC takes the same route and the same automation.
