Are you newbie on OpenSea or Polygon? And you don't know how to get ETH (Polygon) for buying NFTs on OpenSea?

If so, relax. I also didn't know that until 2 months ago. This article may help you.

1. Set Up MetaMask

First, install MetaMask as a browser extension on any compatible browser.

Then you should see the fox icon on the top right on your browser.

Click it and do the following steps:

  1. Click on the "Create a Wallet" button.
  2. Create a new password.
  3. View and save your secret pass phrase. It is used to recovery your account.

For more details, see Polygon Docs.

2. Configure Matic Network on MetaMask

For getting ETH (Polygon) and purchasing NFTs, you need to configure Matic Network on your MetaMask.

  1. Click MetaMask icon on your browser.
  2. Click the network drop-down menu. Probably the default network is "Ethereum Mainnet".
  3. On the drop-down menu, click "Custom RPC" and set the correct value in forms as below: screenshot_2
  4. Click "Save" button.
