   You hold old MATIC on Ethereum that was never swapped to POL. The swap is 1 to 1. Polygon has not announced a deadline.

   1. Open the Polygon Portal upgrade page and connect your wallet. Switch the wallet to Ethereum.
   2. Approve the upgrade contract to use your MATIC.
   3. Confirm the migrate transaction to receive POL. You pay Ethereum gas.

2. Old Polygon Plasma bridge exit

   <$1 · 6 positionsYou can claim<$1May not work1 position

   You withdrew from Polygon through the old Plasma bridge and the exit was never finished on Ethereum. Polygon's current docs no longer describe this bridge, so the route is not confirmed.

   1. Open Polygon Portal, connect the wallet that burned the tokens, and check Transactions for your exit.
   2. If Portal shows Initiate Claim or Claim Tokens, follow it and pay the Ethereum gas fee.
   3. If it is not listed, the exit must be run on the Polygon contracts directly. Ask Polygon support, with the burn transaction hash.

   You burned tokens on Polygon to withdraw to Ethereum, and the checkpoint is done, but the exit was never run on Ethereum. The tokens wait in the bridge.

   1. Open Polygon Portal and connect the wallet that withdrew.
   2. Find the withdrawal in your transactions and press Initiate Claim.
   3. Approve in your wallet, then press Claim Tokens. Pay the Ethereum gas fee. The tokens go to the burner address.
