That’s it! You have successfully bridged assets from Ethereum to Polygon network using Bungee protocol.

About Ethereum
--------------

[Ethereum](https://ethereum.org/en/) is a decentralized blockchain platform that establishes a peer-to-peer network that securely executes and verifies application code, called smart contracts. Smart contracts allow participants to transact with each other without a trusted central authority.

About Polygon
-------------

[Polygon](https://polygon.technology/) (also known as Matic Network) is a decentralized platform that is built on top of the Ethereum blockchain. It is designed to provide fast, cheap, and secure transactions for developers building on Ethereum.

Conclusion
----------

[Bridging](https://bungee.exchange/) between different blockchain networks can be a complex process, but with the right tools and knowledge, it can be done easily. Bungee provides a user-friendly and secure way to bridge assets between Ethereum and Polygon networks.

Happy bridging!
