Type 1: Step 2: Add Matic to Metamask

After the initial setup, MetaMask will only be connected to Ethereum.

Now, it’s time to connect Metamask to Polygon.

Here is how to do it:

1. Open your MetaMask wallet
2. Click on the network dropdown menu
3. Click on ‘Add Network‘
4. Add the following details:

– Network Name: Polygon
– New RPC URL: https://polygon-rpc.com
– Chain ID: 137
– Currency Symbol: MATIC
– Block Explorer URL: https://polygonscan.com/

Click to ‘Save‘

Good job! Now you are successfully connected to the Polygon network.

Type 2: Step 1: Connect your wallet to the Sushi app

The next step is to visit https://app.sushi.com/.

***There are many exchanges that support Matic Network such as:

– https://quickswap.exchange/#/swap

– https://uniswap.org/

Let’s continue with the Sushi way:

– Once you open the website, click on the ‘Connect to a wallet‘ button
– Click the button that says ‘Ethereum‘ in the top right-hand corner
– Select the network you wish to use (in this case, Polygon)
– Go to your MetaMask wallet and approve the switch
– Your network will be updated automatically

In case you are wondering, Sushi is a community-driven organization built to solve the “liquidity problem.” In other words, it cracks the inability of disparate forms of liquidity to connect with markets in a decentralized way and vice versa.

Their core products include decentralized exchange, decentralized lending market, yield instruments, and staking derivatives.

Type 2: Step 2: Import tokens using the Matic Bridge on Sushi

Once you switch to the Polygon (Matic) network, here is what to do next:
– Click on the ‘Bridge Assets‘ button
– Visit https://wallet.matic.network/bridge
– Select the ERC-20 token you want to bridge to Matic
– Input the amount you want to bridge over or click MAX
– Click ‘Transfer‘
– Check out the associated bridge fee before you confirm the transfer
– Approve the gas fee from your wallet

Type 2: Step 3: Add Matic tokens to your MetaMask wallet

You may see balances in tokens on https://wallet.matic.network/, but the tricky part is that you should manually add the tokens by yourself.

Here is how to do it:

– Open your MetaMask wallet
– Go to the bottom of the Assets tab
– Click ‘Add Token’ and find the token you want to add
– Click on the token icon
– Tap to add the token and confirm it is done
– Click the back arrow button in Metamask to see the assets in your wallet.

That’s it.
