Defx Now Supports Direct Trading From Polygon
Trade using your assets on Polygon with no gas costs, and trade perps using USDC, USDT, or POL as collateral.
We’re excited to share that Defx now supports direct deposits and trading from the Polygon network. This integration removes friction for millions of Polygon users and opens a seamless path into Defx’s trading environment.
What it means for Polygon users
If you hold USDC or USDT on Polygon, you can now deposit those assets straight into Defx without paying gas fees. There’s no need for third-party bridges, no manual chain swaps, and no need to top up native gas tokens. Your Polygon balances now connect directly with Defx.
Supported assets
USDC (Polygon)
USDT (Polygon)
Starting today, all USDC and USDT transfers on the Defx wallet are completely free when sent through the Polygon network. The wallet can send and receive both without any gas costs.
As Polygon’s ecosystem expands to support new stablecoins from across the world, Defx will extend free transfers to them as well. Many non-dollar stablecoins will also be gas sponsored and supported natively, starting with IDRX.
How it works
Connect your wallet and head to app.defx.com/user/wallet.
Click on Defx Bridge and select USDC or USDT as the collateral asset with Polygon as the network.
The transaction is fully gas sponsored. Once the deposit is complete, your balance is live on Defx and ready to trade.
Benefits for traders
No gas costs: Every transfer is covered.
No external bridges: Move funds straight from Polygon into Defx.
Native support: USDC and USDT on Polygon now work directly.
This update is part of our ongoing effort to reduce friction for traders and support a multi-chain user base.
Why Polygon matters to Defx
Polygon is a natural strategic partner for Defx. The network is aligned with Ethereum and has been critical in scaling its ecosystem. From being the first L2 to gain traction, to bringing global consumer brands onchain, Polygon has consistently grown the pie for the entire industry.
Looking ahead, Polygon is focused on becoming the leading chain for FX and payments. Defx will be a strong partner in making that vision a reality by powering seamless stablecoin flows and perps trading.
It is also worth noting that Sandeep Nailwal, co-founder of Polygon, is on Defx’s cap table, a strong vote of confidence and a reflection of the alignment between Polygon and Defx.
What’s next
This is just the start of our Polygon integration. We’re already working on:
On-ramps for Polygon users: So you can fund your Defx account directly from Polygon.
Native swaps: To move between supported assets without leaving the platform.
Support for POL: Trading and yield opportunities are on the roadmap.
Support for non-dollar stablecoins: Many will be gas sponsored and supported natively, starting with IDRX.
The bigger picture
With Polygon integration, Defx is becoming a truly multi-chain venue for perpetual trading. We are meeting traders where they are, cutting out unnecessary steps, and making sure every deposit, trade, and withdrawal feels seamless.
Polygon is one of the most active ecosystems in crypto. Bringing it into Defx expands access, liquidity, and opportunity for traders everywhere.
