How To Add Polygon Network (MATIC) To Metamask, Transaction Fees Become Cheaper!

How to add Polygon network to MetaMask (wiki.rugdoc.io)

JAKARTA - The Ethereum network is growing so that applications that use smart contracts are increasing, one of which is the MetaMask crypto digital wallet.

This leads to increased network density which makes Ethereum transaction fees expensive. However, there is a workaround to solve this problem, namely by adding a Polygon network in MetaMask.

To note, Polygon Network (MATIC) is a decentralized protocol for building and connecting multiple Ethereum-compatible blockchain networks.

This network was created to provide solutions related to several issues regarding blockchain. Among them are high gas fees and slow speeds, but without compromising the safety aspect.

Meanwhile, MATIC is an ERC-20 token that is used to pay transaction fees and functions as a governance token in the Polygon protocol. In addition, MATIC can also be used for staking in the Polygon network.

However, you need to manually add this Polygon network (MATIC) to your MetaMask wallet. Well, then how to easily add Polygon network in MetaMask? Check out the tutorial below!

Easy Way to Add Polygon Network in MetaMask on Laptop/PC

Open the MetaMask extension on your Laptop/PC and enter your password. Select change network at the top center of the extension. Next, you need to click on the Add Network option. You will enter the settings menu. You must fill in the fields provided, there are 3 fields that are mandatory and 2 other fields are optional (not required) Enter the data below: Network Name: New RPC URL Polygon (Choose FALSE 1): https://rpc- mainnet.matic.network https://rpc-mainnet.maticvigil.com https://rpc-mainnet.matic.quiknode.pro Chain ID: 137 Symbols (optional): MATIC URL Block Explorer (optional): https:// polygonscan.com If the fields are filled in, click Save Network Polygons have been successfully added to your MetaMask.

That's how to add a Polygon network (MATIC) in MetaMask on a laptop or PC. By adding this network, you can make transactions with discounts or gas fees that are cheaper than using the Ethereum network.
