I made my first prediction on Polymarket today and the entire narrative of it hiding crypto and being A++ UX is just not at all true. It took me about 40m to get USDC on Polygon and then POL so I could send it. I eventually just gave up and a friend sent me $20 in POL.

don't you mean MATIC? What is POL?

that's the thing, if you don't have self custody wallets then your only option is to load up some funds from a credit card - no crypto bridging

went thru the same on election night. most of the issues were with walletconnect tbf, embedded wallet + onramp flow works okay https://warpcast.com/alexgrover.eth/0x7d33c6d3

yeah, the amount of friction was insane when i tried it (VPN, etc) i gave up bc it wasn't worth it and I didn't have that much conviction in where I wanted to place a prediction bet

been saying this for a while. those "using polymarket without knowing it's crypto" were just checking the charts. if you actually want to bet, oh man, 2020 all over again

I've used POL/MATIC for three years now. It's the L2 Decentraland uses for digital collectibles. Pain in the ass. Gas is super low tho. Did you try their portal POS or zkEVM to bridge? https://portal.polygon.technology/bridge 40 minutes sounds about right for a bridge from USDC on ETH to Polygon on POL.

I don't support Polygon chain, as wasn't any reques so far, but sending one token and paying with another is done in 5s on @payflow, cross-chain payments powered by @paywithglide, I think Polygon supported as well

I think the easiest way to fund it is directly from Coinbase in that case you donβt need any POL for gas so from that perspective itβs pretty good UX
