Polynomial is a non-custodial DeFi protocol on Ethereum L2s (primarily OP Mainnet) that offers automated options vaults for yield, perps trading, and efficient swaps—so you can generate on-chain yield or take leveraged exposure while paying ETH gas. For bridging and execution, it inherits OP Mainnet performance: ~2s block times, tens of TPS, average gas typically $0.01–$0.10, and L2 activity commonly in the six‑figure daily‑active‑address range.
Polynomial is not a standalone L1; it leverages Ethereum security and L2 scalability while delivering automated, risk‑managed options and perps strategies with transparent on-chain settlement and deep integrations across L2 derivatives liquidity (e.g., Synthetix, Lyra). Compared with L1 networks, users typically get sub‑$0.10 average gas, ~2s block times, and tens of TPS—enabling low‑latency strategy rolls and better capital efficiency than slower, costlier chains.
Polynomial uses ETH as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain ETH by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge.
To bridge ETH to Polynomial, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select Polynomial as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on Polynomial you can use thirdweb, which provides an easy way to build, monetize and scale your apps, games or agents. You can find detailed guides and documentation on https://portal.thirdweb.com to get started quickly.
To add Polynomial to your wallet, you can connect your wallet and click on [Add to Wallet] button at the top of the page. Alternatively, you can add the network manually using the RPC URL and chain details and add it to your wallet's network settings.
To send ETH on Polynomial, ensure your wallet is connected to the Polynomial network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of ETH to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
