Polygon zkEVM Mainnet Beta: Sunset Complete
As of July 3, 2026, the Polygon zkEVM Mainnet Beta sequencer has been sunset. The network is no longer producing blocks, and withdrawals from Polygon zkEVM can no longer be processed through the Agglayer Bridge. If you held assets in a self-custodied wallet (EOA) on Polygon zkEVM at the time of sunset, you will be able to recover them on Ethereum through the Polygon zkEVM Claims interface.

Primary call to action
The Polygon zkEVM Claims interface is a dedicated web application for recovering EOA-held assets on Ethereum after sunset. It uses exit certificates and a public read-only RPC, and operates independently of the now-sunset Polygon zkEVM sequencer. Polygon Labs does not custody these funds at any point; you sign and submit your own claim transactions directly to Ethereum.
The Claims interface will be available no earlier than July 13, 2026. Check back here once it is live.
Recovery window and deadline
The Claims interface will be available no earlier than July 13, 2026 and will remain available through December 31, 2027.
After December 31, 2027, the Claims interface will be retired. EOA-held assets remain recorded on Ethereum and are not forfeited to Polygon Labs by reason of the retirement; Polygon Labs will simply no longer provide the Claims interface or support to facilitate recovery, and recovery by other means may not be practicable.
It is recommended you complete your claim well in advance of the deadline.
Funds locked in smart contracts (DeFi protocols, multisigs, bridges)
Assets that were held inside smart contracts on Polygon zkEVM Mainnet Beta at the time of sunset cannot be recovered through the Claims interface.
This includes, but is not limited to:
- Liquidity positions in DeFi protocols deployed on Polygon zkEVM
- Assets held in custody by multisig wallets deployed on Polygon zkEVM
- Assets locked in third-party bridge contracts deployed on Polygon zkEVM
If you believe assets you control were held in a smart contract on Polygon zkEVM at the time of sunset, contact the protocol or contract operator directly.
