Polygon ETH withdrawals now available

Due to the high transaction costs on both Bitcoin and Ethereum networks, at Octopocket we have worked to make ETH withdrawals possible over the Polygon network with the Wrapped Ether token (WETH).
Polygon is a second layer over Ethereum that benefits from Ethereum's security and supports a several orders of magnitude higher number of transactions per second than Ethereum.

Among the wallets that support Polygon we recommend the official web wallet which can be used with Metamask or WalletConnect that allows with Swap for Gas obtain gas (MATIC) with the token that sends Octopocket (WETH).

To send ETH from Octopocket to Polygon network, just put in the destination address 'polygon:' as prefix.
Example, to send 0.035eth to the Polygon address 0x523FE22dbA89C2b43825bA096DDccf195e845982, type in the bot..
/send 0.035eth polygon:0x523FE22dbA89C2b43825bA096DDccf195e845982

You can also withdraw BTC at a higher cost over the Bitcoin network without putting any prefix on the bitcoin address; BTC deposits are disabled and your deposit address will no longer be displayed.
Withdrawals in EUR to your bank account are only possible for those who loaded in EUR from their account and will possibly be disabled shortly as they are not automated since we have had to change banks.
