Configuring Your Wallet With The Matic Network (Polygon)
Welcome to SchoolSwap! This guide will help you configure your wallet with the Matic Network.
To begin, everyone should be aware that some wallets are not yet compatible with the Matic network. Therefore, we will use MetaMask.
Option 1: Migrating An Existing Wallet (ex: TrustWallet) To MetaMask
If you are using TrustWallet or another wallet that is not compatible with Matic, you must first migrate it to MetaMask. To do this, go to your wallet settings, click on “Show recovery Phrase”, then copy the 12 words that are displayed.
Now open MetaMask (https://metamask.io). If you already had a MetaMask account, make sure you have saved your keywords or private key if you plan to use it again in the future (or if there are already funds on it). Once this is completed, click on log out (“Logout”), then click on “Reset Wallet”, this will reset your MetaMask wallet.
From now on, all you have to do is configure your new MetaMask Wallet with the keywords of your wallet which was not compatible with Matic. Click on “Get started”, then click on “Import using Secret Recovery Phrase”. Enter your 12 keywords, define a new password, then click on “Import”. Your old wallet is now imported to MetaMask!
Option 2: Configuring Matic Network (Polygon) On MetaMask
Open your MetaMask wallet, and click on the name of the network that appears at the top center (Binance Smart Chain, Ethereum, etc.).
Then click on “Custom RPC” at the bottom of the list.
From now on, it will be necessary to enter the information of the Matic network.
Network Name: Matic Mainnet
New RPC URL: https://rpc-mainnet.maticvigil.com/
Channel ID: 137
Symbol: MATIC
Block Explorer URL: https://explorer.matic.network/
Once this information has been entered, click on “Save”. The Matic network is now on your wallet!
To change the network according to your needs (for example, to switch from ETH or BSC to Matic and vice versa), you simply have to click on the name of the current network at the top center of MetaMask screen and then choose your desired network.
