Polygon Introduces Bridge for Web3 Users to Transfer Assets to Ethereum

The Polygon Network has announced the launch of the Gnosis Bridge, a Polygon PoS Bridge for Gnosis Safe users.

According to a blog post, the Polygon team chose to develop a unique solution that aims to be cost effective, which resulted in the building of the bridge. It claims that while maintaining a Gnosis wallet on Ethereum is secure, it is costly because gas is required for each transaction.

According to it, the Gnosis Bridge represents the easiest way for Web3 teams to transfer their Safe assets between Polygon and Ethereum. Users may now make use of Safe’s multi-sig technology without losing convenience, cost or security thanks to the integration.

As a result, Web3 teams, including DeFi protocols and DAOs, can use the Polygon Bridge to transfer Gnosis Safe funds without incurring exorbitant gas costs.

It might be just the beginning

After celebrating significant milestones and innovations in the first half of 2022, Layer 2 scaling platform Polygon says it undoubtedly has massive plans for the rest of 2022, which will focus on three key areas: products, events and accelerators.
