# (5) Move DAI from Polygon

Transfer your DAI tokens from Polygon (Matic) to the xDai Chain, and convert them into xDai coins.

Following the same premise as the other methods, you can move your DAI tokens from one chain to another, effectively converting them into xDai. 

This cross-chain bridge lets users convert **DAI on Polygon (Matic) to xDai** (among others). Simple and inexpensive, it's called **Xpollinate.**

Use at your own risk.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Important Note:** You may need a very small amount of **Matic coin** to pay the transaction fee when converting DAI from Matic to the xDai native token on the xDai chain.
