Question 1

How long does USDC take to bridge from Polygon to Edge?

Accepted Answer

The configured Standard attestation estimate is ~8 seconds. The Fast estimate, when available, is ~8 seconds. These describe source attestation, not guaranteed end-to-end delivery. The destination claim on Edge, network congestion and wallet approval add time.

Question 2

How many confirmations are needed on Polygon?

Accepted Answer

The app uses 33 source confirmations for Standard and 13 for Fast. These are source-network requirements for Circle's attestation; they are separate from the transaction that mints USDC on Edge.

Question 3

Can I use Fast for Polygon to Edge?

Accepted Answer

The app supports Fast transfers from Polygon. Live allowance, pricing and network conditions can affect availability; review the selector and quote before confirming.

Question 4

Which wallets and gas tokens do I need?

Accepted Answer

Use a compatible EVM wallet holding native USDC on Polygon and POL for the source transaction. The recipient must be a compatible EVM address on Edge. To claim yourself, connect the destination wallet and keep ETH there for destination gas.

Question 5

What fees apply to this route?

Accepted Answer

Budget for source gas in POL on Polygon and destination claim gas in ETH on Edge. Fast can also include Circle's Fast fee and an application fee deducted from USDC. Review the live fee breakdown and received amount before approving; gas is separate.

Question 6

Will I receive native USDC on Edge?

Accepted Answer

Yes. CCTP burns native USDC on Polygon and mints native USDC on Edge. It does not send a wrapped representation. Select native USDC on the source network rather than a bridged token with a similar name.

Question 7

What if my Polygon to Edge transfer is pending?

Accepted Answer

Use Find transfer with Polygon as the source and your source transaction hash. A transfer may be waiting for source confirmations, Circle's attestation, or a claim on Edge. Once attestation is ready, connect the destination wallet to continue an outstanding claim.
