# Bridging (Umbria)

### Bridging your $ETH from Eth Network to Polygon Network

1. Simply head over to <https://bridge.umbria.network/bridge/ethereum-polygon/eth>
2. Connect your wallet, make sure you're on Ethereum Network
3. Send the amount of $ETH you wish to bridge over. There is an approximator below which shows you how much you'll receive after bridging.
4. Wait for transaction to finish.
5. When transaction finishes, switch your wallet to Polygon/Matic Network
6. Congratulations! You have successfully bridged your funds.

#### But wait! You still need to swap your $ETH to $MATIC.

In Polygon Network, the main currency is $MATIC and is needed to pay for gas fees. Similarly to how Eth Network uses $ETH, BSC Network uses $BNB, Solana Network uses $SOL, and so on.

So how do you swap $ETH to $MATIC?

#### Method 1.

1. Make sure you have a little bit of $MATIC because you need it for gas fees. Either get some from $MATIC faucets, or ask from the community members to spare around 0.05 $MATIC.
2. Head over to <https://www.quickswap.finance/#/swap>
3. Connect your wallet, and make sure you're in Polygon Network.
4. Swap $ETH to $MATIC.
5. Tada!

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.maticmike.club/guides/bridging-umbria.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
