What Is the Polygon Arbitrum Bridge?
A cross-chain bridge connects two separate blockchain networks, allowing users to transfer assets between them. The Polygon Arbitrum Bridge specifically enables token transfers between Polygon — one of Ethereum's leading Layer-2 scaling solutions — and Arbitrum, another powerful Layer-2 network built on optimistic rollup technology.
Both networks offer significantly lower transaction fees compared to Ethereum mainnet, while maintaining compatibility with Ethereum's ecosystem of decentralized applications (dApps), DeFi protocols, NFTs, and more.
