This is bridged USDC
Chainhook watches 0x2791bca1f2de4661ed88a30c99a7a9449aa84174, the USDC bridged from Ethereum through the Polygon PoS bridge, often shown as USDC.e.
Get a signed webhook when a Polygon address sends or receives PoS-bridged USDC. Chainhook waits 64 blocks, about 2 minutes, then posts the transfer.
The contract Chainhook watches, how amounts are scaled, and how long USDC takes to reach your endpoint.
0x2791bca1f2de4661ed88a30c99a7a9449aa84174Polygon blocks arrive every second or two, and short reorgs have historically been more common than on Ethereum. A home-grown poller has to re-check recent blocks and undo credits when they change. Chainhook waits 64 blocks first, so an event you receive is already settled.
Create a webhook with network: "polygon", type: "token" and the address you want to watch. The signing secret is returned once.
Every Polygon block is scanned. A matching USDC transfer is held until it is 64 blocks deep, about 2 minutes.
A transfer.detected event arrives with an X-Webhook-Signature header. Failed attempts are retried automatically, up to 3 attempts in total, waiting 1 minute, then 5 minutes between attempts.

X-Webhook-Signature is a hex HMAC-SHA256 of the raw body, keyed with your webhook's secret. Reject any request where it doesn't match.
import crypto from 'node:crypto'; import express from 'express'; const app = express(); app.post( '/webhooks/chainhook', express.raw({ type: 'application/json' }), (req, res) => { const signature = req.get('X-Webhook-Signature') ??

Native USDC on Polygon (0x3c499c542cef5e3811e1192ce70d8cc03d5c3359) is not detected yet. If your users send from an exchange, check which USDC it withdraws before relying on this webhook.
Both versions of USDC on Polygon use 6 decimals. Use the amount string or scale amount_raw by decimals.
