MetaMask is among the most popular cryptocurrency wallets out there, and while primarily based on Ethereum, does support other networks such as Polygon.
The Ethereum-based crypto wallet can be accessed by both a browser extension or mobile application and can connect to the Binance Smart Chain network and Polygon for use in the likes of OpenSea.
So, let's take a look at how users can add Polygon to MetaMask.
How To Add Polygon Network to MetaMask
As per the Stakingbits, Polygon is a protocol and framework for building and connecting Ethereum compatible blockchain networks. The protocol is a simple platform designed for Ethereum scaling and infrastructure development.
Formerly known as MATIC, it included cost-effective gas fees, which are cheaper than $0.001, and faster network transactions.
Users looking forward to adding the Polygon network to MetaMask will be required to:
- Install MetaMask extension from the Store or the website.
- Create a MetaMask wallet ID credential or import your existing wallet.
- Set up the MetaMask wallet and connect it to Polygon (MATIC) network.
