The Polygon was born to reduce the speed and cost of working on the Ethereum network. Through its unique four-layer system architecture (ETH layer, security layer, Polygon Network layer, and execution layer), Polygon is increasing in popularity every day, therefore, in this article, we will see how you can transfer from ETH to Polygon. This article will also show Quickswap’s feature of free 0.1 Matic to its users. Maybe some people think that it is just a small amount but if we think rationally, then this small amount saves us lots of handworks (buying & transferring or buying & bridging).
