Ether (ETH)

USD - United States, Int.
$ 2,353.25000000

ETH on Polygon is not the native gas currency of the network. On Polygon, ETH is used as a token representation, which means it behaves more like an ERC20 asset than like native ETH on Ethereum or Base.

That makes Polygon ETH useful for users who want Ethereum-denominated exposure while still using Polygon for faster and lower-cost settlement. Within CryptMeUp, Polygon ETH fits the token payment flow rather than the native currency flow, which keeps the payment route explicit and predictable.
