# How to obtain DAI on Polygon
### **1. Bridge your DAI from Ethereum to Polygon** 🌉
\
If you already have DAI on the Ethereum mainnet, you can to move this over to Polygon.\
You can use the official [Matic Wallet bridge](https://wallet.polygon.technology/bridge), the [Zapper.fi bridge](https://zapper.fi/bridge) or the [Aavegotchi bridge](https://aavegotchi.com/bridge). Here is a [**great written guide**](https://quickswap-layer2.medium.com/how-to-set-up-polygon-matic-mainnet-for-metamask-transfer-assets-from-l1-to-l2-to-use-9a7975eb8769) for the official bridge, as well as a [**YouTube tutorial**](https://youtu.be/jQCXmiwtIQU?t=373).\
\
\&#xNAN;*Note: this will require a transaction on Ethereum mainnet. Depending on the transaction cost (gas fees) of Ethereum, this only makes sense if you want to transfer relatively large amounts of your existing DAI.*
### **2. Bridge your DAI from other blockchains to Polygon** 🌉
\
If you already have:
* DAI on **Binance Smart Chain (BSC)**
* xDAI on the **xDAI** chain
* DAI on **Fantom**
* DAI on **Avalanche**
* DAI on **Arbitrum**
* DAI on **Optimism**
You can use the [xpollinate.io bridge ](https://www.xpollinate.io/)or [Anyswap router](https://anyswap.exchange/#/router) or [Hop Exchange](https://app.hop.exchange/send?token=DAI\&destNetwork=polygon) to transfer DAI to Polygon. *See this* [*external guide*](https://www.xdaichain.com/for-users/bridges/xdai-matic-connext-bridge)*. Transaction costs will be very low. Note that xpollinate does not support Avalanche (yet).*
### **3. Buy DAI directly on Polygon (via a third-party)** 👛
\
There are multiple service providers that offer the possibility to directly buy DAI on Polygon. \
e.g. or \
\&#xNAN;*Make sure to select "DAI on Polygon chain" or "DAI on Polygon network" so you end up with the correct DAI. Most often you can pay by either a Bank Transfer (e.g. SEPA deposit) or a debit or credit card. Transaction fees should be somewhat cheaper compared to transferring DAI from Ethereum.*
> :warning: *These are external services - not related to the LeagueDAO! You will most likely be required to verify your identity and pay a fee for using their service. We'd like to make clear that this is NOT an endorsement or recommendation of any type.* :warning:
### **4. Swap on a decentralized exchange on Polygon** 🔄
If you already hold other assets on Polygon (e.g. ETH or MATIC or USDC or another token), you can use the [Quickswap Exchange](https://quickswap.exchange/#/swap?outputCurrency=0x8f3Cf7ad23Cd3CaDbD9735AFf958023239c6A063) or [Paraswap](https://paraswap.io/#/?network=polygon) to easily swap them for DAI.\
\&#xNAN;*You will need a very small amount of MATIC to pay for the (negligible) transaction costs.*

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.leaguedao.com/tutorials-faq/using-polygon-network/how-to-obtain-dai-on-polygon.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
