Ok so i needed some Matic on one of my MetaMask account to transfer a NFT on Polygon chain. Probably there was an easier way (like using the polygon bridge directly) but those gas fees ⛽️ are insane. I found this video explaining how to save some gas fees etc by using another chain (i used BNB Smart Chain). It was very helpful but i also found i had some BNB in another wallet to i could skip some steps in the video and only follow the second half of it. This is what i did: I sent BNB from Binance to MetaMask (add BNB Smart Chain to MetaMask) Ok, so i now had BNB on BNB Smart Chain sent over to my MetaMask account, great! To get it over to Polygon i first needed to swap my BNB to USDC which i did over at Pancake swap. So now i have USDC on BNB Smart Chain, sweet. Then i went over to Connext (old xpollinate) to move my USDC on BNB Smart Chain over to Polygon Mainnet (fig. 1). So now i have USDC on Polygon Mainnet, Awesome! Almost there right? Well i went to Polygon bridge to swap my USDC for some Matic but when trying to sign the transaction it turned out you needed some Matic to swap to Matic (Whoooaaaat 🤯). Turns out i wasn’t the only one confused about this. After using their Swap for Gas feature i could finally swap my USDC to Matic and send my Polygon NFT to my other wallet This only costed my a couple of $$$ instead of more than $55 if i' would have bridged over from Ethereum to Polygon 💸. fig. 1 - Bridging USDC from BNB Smart Chain over to Polygon Mainnet. I hope i can update or create another post about this with way easier step sometime in the future 😆 Alright. Laters on the menjay. ✌️
