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 BTC or standard tokens of the Bitcoin 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 Bitcoin 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 Polygon PoS 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 Polygon PoS to Bitcoin

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 Bitcoin network (1…, 3…, bc1…).
Send the coins over the Polygon PoS network to the details in the order — the amount has to match down to the last digit.
When Polygon PoS gathers confirmations, automation sends the coins to your address in Bitcoin. The status is visible on the order page.

Check before sending to Bitcoin

Take the receiving address only from the Bitcoin network (1…, 3…, bc1…).
Send the coins over the Polygon PoS 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.
