How to create a wallet & setup Polygon Matic Network

1) Install the Metamask Extension from the Store

Visit the browser extension marketplace and download the MetaMask extension.

2) Create a MetaMask Wallet or Import One

• Our suggestion is to create a new one if you haven’t done so.

• Click “import wallet” if you have an existing wallet. Setup your password and secret recovery phrase somewhere safe.

3) Setup MetaMask to connect to Matic Network

• Switch the connected blockchain by clicking on the tab saying “Main Ethereum Network”, we need to add the Matic network.

• Scroll down until you find “Add Network”.

• Enter in the Polygon/Matic Mainnet settings as follows:

- Network Name: Polygon

- New RPC URL: https://polygon-rpc.com or https://rpc-mainnet.matic.network or https://rpc-mainnet.maticvigil.com or https://rpc-mainnet.matic.quiknode.pro
(Using https://polygon-rpc.com is most recommended as it aggregates multiple RPC URLs!)

- ChainID: 137

- Symbol: MATIC

- Block Explorer URL: https://polygonscan.com/

• Click Save.
• You have now connected to the Polygon / Matic mainnet with your Metamask Wallet! Transactions on the Polygon network require its native token MATIC which will be used as gas fee.
