How To Use the MATIC Network With MetaMask
This short how to guide covers adding the MATIC network to an existing MetaMask wallet.
The Polygon blockchain is an EVM compatible blockchain and is poised for potentially massive growth in the coming months and possibly years. Now's a great time to add this network to your MetaMask wallet!
Just like other EVM compatible blockchains such as Binance Smart Chain, you can use your MetaMask wallet with the MATIC network to view the coins you hold on that network.
This short guide assumes you already have MetaMask installed. If not you can check out this guide here.
How To Add MATIC To Your MetaMask Wallet
Step 1 - To start login to your MetaMask wallet and click the colourful wheel in the top right corner, from the drop down menu select "Settings".
Step 2 - Scroll down and locate the Networks tab.

Video Guide Adding MATIC to MetaMask
Time to get some MATIC coins!
How do I send Matic tokens to Metamask?
Sending MATIC coins to your metamask is the same as sending ERC20 or BSC coin. To send coins to your MATIC wallet within metamask send the coins to your desired MetaMask address. This is how you add coins to MetaMask.
How do I transfer my Matic from Binance to Metamask?
Once you have setup an account in Metamask, you will see the address of your account. To send Matic tokens to Metamask, withdraw funds from your exchange account to the Metamask address. After some time, the funds will get reflected in the Metamask account. -https://blog.matic.network

Thanks for publishing this MATIC aide @agr8buzz! Nice to see that MetaMask can be utilized. Which, in turn, is Ledger-backed and that is definitely important to me ...
Now ...
I just need to actually buy some MATIC! 😉

Most welcome! I think many are now already familiar with adding networks to MetaMask, this is almost just to say hey, MATIC works with MetaMask..

Jump on the polydragon $FIRE vibes first DEfI on the matic network... or so I was told in the mancave.
NFA
Chrono's on that fire! Will start a DCA into FIRE and will be keeping an eye out for other emerging projects and AMM's for sure.. There should be a steady in flow of capital to MATIC now..

Yea man Polygon doing nice moves.. already up 1.3 Per billion pamp.
Knowledge is power.
Glad to know Matic or Polygon
on the move.
Crazy but it is something worth noticing.
agree its worth noting, it's early, maybe there will be some opportunities to get into a project early.

sounds intriguing. Is it easy enough to buy Matic? Or do I have to have a Doctorate in genetic engineering? :p

Binance to MetaMask, then Matic has a bridge to get it on matic mainnet. Two steps, not terrible, but ETH fee's hurt.

Many thanks for the info - I will be using the MATIC chain to mint my NFT without gas fees instead of ETH via my Metamask. It will still show up on Opensea, via the NFTminter site https://mintnft.today/.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Awesome, let me know where I can find your NFT's when they're ready.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Here is the NFT that I minted using MATIC https://opensea.io/assets/matic/0x36a8377e2bb3ec7d6b0f1675e243e542eb6a4764/236

Right on that's awesome! Did you mint through OpenSea using MATIC or did you mint somewhere else then bring it to the OpenSea market? I've done ERC 1155 on OpenSea but would love to know how you used MATIC..
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Hey there sorry for the late reply, I used this website frontend to mint and my NFT simply arrived in my Opensea profile https://mintnft.today/.
I've been wanting to test Polygon/Matic but I'm not willing to pay the ridiculous 20$+ Eth Gas fees just to bridge some funds over. I'm looking for a cheap way to bridge funds from Binance Smart Chain to Polyogon but it's still such a hassle that I'm likely just going to give up on it for now.

yeah bridge fee's are paid in ETH and kind of spensive. Haven't used it yet but found this bridge from BEP20 to Matic mainnet (using stables) https://www.xpollinate.io/

This was a very timely post. I was actually doing the early stages of a similar post. I just watched a video and created a Matic Account on my Metamask. I am transferring Dai to it as we speak ! LOL
I saw a video on Matic on the channel Cryptowendyo on YouTUbe, she also publishes on Leofinance. I think that the difficulties we are having on BSC with their nodes and the Meme dogs coins is making everyone look for alternatives.
I am also interested in the transaction fee comparison as I am told it is very cheap.
What is your experience with MAtic transaction fees?
Are you engaged in DeFim on Polywhale?
Thanks
