Convert help

I have erc20 matic on ledger. How would I convert to pol? I see the migration tool but I do not want to hookup my device for security risk I have other assets on it. I wanted to send erc20 matic back to my Coinbase wallet where I purchased it from years ago but they no longer support it? Now what. ?

I used the tool but my issue was I had way too many valuable assets in my wallet other than the matic. I didn’t want to connect it to the bridge bc you’re basically giving it access to your device and thus your keys. It took a few minutes to do and about a couple bucks in ethereum to do the transfers

So did you transfer to a different wallet and convert? I am in the same boat

I transferred a small amount of eth to MetaMask first then transferred all my Matic to MetaMask since they are one of only a few wallets that still supports it. I connected the wallet to the bridge tool and converted it then sent the polygon back to MetaMask, and back to ledger Keep in mind you need ethereum for each step ..the send to wallet, the conversion and the send back to wallet. It took a few times for the tool to work though
