Polygon (MATIC) to Avalanche Bridging Fees

The journey from MATIC to AVAX is very cheap thanks to the Polygon network's low transaction fees. In general, users should expect to pay up to $0.5 USD in total to transfer their funds from one network to the other.

The bridge from AVAX back to Polygon may be a little bit more expensive because the transaction fees on the Avalanche C Chain are slightly higher. On this leg of your cross-chain journey, you can expect to pay up to $3 USD.

All things considered, it is very cheap to bridge with Synapse and it can be great to jump between chains to maximize your yield.
