Please Note: At this time, bridging is only available for domains minted on Polygon or Ethereum. You can only bridge domains Eth -> Polygon and Polygon -> Eth. You are unable to bridge domains minted on Base to Polygon/Ethereum or Polygon/Ethereum minted domains to Base.
Bridging Ethereum domains to Polygon
A few considerations to keep in mind when considering bridging your domain from Ethereum to Polygon:
Bridging to Polygon will require you to pay Ethereum gas fees at the start of the process.
Bridging may take several hours to complete. Once bridging is in process, it can’t be cancelled and during this time you won’t be able to use your domain.
Some dapps, metaverses, and games will only resolve Web3 Domains on a specific chain.
Go to My Domains.
Click “Manage” next to the Ethereum domain you wish to bridge to Polygon
Click “Bridge' then 'Start':
Select your wallet, sign with your wallet and pay a final ETH gas fee.
Wait a few minutes for confirmation.
During this process, your Web3 domain may temporarily disappear from the My Domains page. Once bridged, you'll be able to manage your domain for free with no gas fees.
Polygon claimed domains to Ethereum
A few considerations to keep in mind when considering bridging your domain from Polygon to Ethereum:

The option to move your domain to Polygon or Ethereum will always be available. You can bridge your domain to either chain at any time.
Some dapps, metaverses, and games will only resolve Web3 Domains on a specific chain.
Important - Once this process has started, you can not cancel it. During the final stage of the bridging process, a gas fee must be paid by the domain owner to bridge the domain back onto the Ethereum network. Please ensure you have enough Ethereum to cover this.
Go to My Domains.
Click “Manage” next to the Polygon domain you wish to bridge to Ethereum.
Under "Manage" go to "Bridge" and choose "Start".
You will be prompted to sign a transaction with your crypto wallet. This transaction is burning the Polygon domain. You can remint on Polygon at a future time but you can not cancel this process once it has started. Only sign the first transaction if you are happy to pay the Ethereum gas fee to withdraw. Once started, the first 2 steps will happen automatically. Please allow up to 2 hours+ for the first 2 steps to complete.
The final step is to withdraw the domain on the Ethereum blockchain. Click "Sign". You may be prompted to change the wallets network from Polygon to Ethereum, then you will be shown the gas fee to pay:
You're done! You can now manage your domain on the Ethereum network. You can confirm the network of your domain by checking the icon next to it on your domains page.
