# Bridge

## The bridge is used to transfer $ART 

Transferring $ART from the Polygon network to the Ethereum network.

Using the Polygon network for minting NFTs brings many benefits, including significant savings compared to minting NFTs directly on the Ethereum network. Here are some of them:

**Lower transaction fees:** Transaction fees on the Polygon network are much lower than on Ethereum, allowing for the minting and transferring of large amounts of NFTs in a more cost-effective way.

## The bridge is used to transfer NFT

Transferring NFT from the Polygon network to the Ethereum network

**Time and money savings:** Utilizing the Polygon network allows for the creation of NFT collections and the transfer of thousands of NFTs in a single transaction to the Ethereum network. This means fewer transaction fees and time savings for carrying out all transfers.

**Greater accessibility:** Thanks to lower costs, minting and transferring NFTs on the Polygon network becomes more accessible to a wider audience, which may increase interest in NFT collections and contribute to the growth of their value.

Using the Polygon network for creating NFT collections and transferring them to the Ethereum network is beneficial in terms of both savings and efficiency. With lower transaction fees, faster processing time, and greater accessibility, the Polygon network offers an attractive alternative for creators and collectors of NFTs.

## 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.decentral-art.com/uni-platform/uni/building/next-tool/bridge.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`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.
