How to get MATIC to your Polygon wallet?

The Polygon network is getting more popular as play-to-earn games such as Pepper Attack and Sandbox choose Polygon as the platform for high-volume gaming.

On Polygon, you need MATIC in your wallet to pay for transaction fees. However, getting MATIC is not always straightforward. Here are three methods to get MATIC to your wallet.

1. Transfer MATIC from an exchange

Buying MATIC and transferring it from a centralized exchange to your wallet using Polygon Network is the most cost-effective method. (Houbi, Kraken, etc. also support that)

For detailed information refer to cryptocurrency withdrawal, please contact your exchange support team or read their guidelines.

Remember to use the Polygon Network when you transfer MATIC!

2. Buying MATIC with credit cards

Websites such as Crypto.com allow you to MATIC with a bank card, or exchange another token for MATIC, then transfer the MATIC straight to Metamask. Make sure to choose the POLY/MATIC option. Once there, swap MATIC for ETH.
