Coinbase Supports Polygon (MATIC) Transactions via the Ethereum Network. Sending Transactions via Polygon (MATIC) Main-Net Will Result in the Loss of Funds….What Products Support MATIC?

In an effort to provide users with more options and flexibility, Coinbase has announced that it will support transactions made via the Polygon (MATIC) network. This is significant because it means that users will be able to send transactions over the Ethereum network without having to worry about the high fees associated with ETH.

The addition of MATIC support is a big win for Coinbase users, as it provides them with another way to send transactions cheaply and quickly. However, there is one important caveat to keep in mind: sending transactions over the MATIC network will result in the loss of funds.

NOTE: WARNING: Sending transactions via Polygon (MATIC) main-net will result in the loss of funds. Coinbase currently supports Polygon (MATIC) transactions via the Ethereum network, however, they do not support transactions on the MATIC main-net. Coinbase products such as Coinbase Pro and Coinbase Wallet do not currently support MATIC transactions. Please be aware that any transaction sent to the MATIC main-net will be lost.

This is because MATIC is not yet a fully-fledged main-net; instead, it is still in development and thus subject to change. As a result, any funds sent over the MATIC network may not be recovered if something goes wrong.

With that said, the addition of MATIC support is still a positive development for Coinbase users. It provides them with another option for sending transactions, and one that comes with lower fees than ETH.

In time, as the Polygon network continues to develop and mature, it may become a more viable option for sending transactions on a regular basis. For now, though, users should be aware of the risks involved in using MATIC and only use it if they are willing to accept those risks.
