On Polygon Network, you need MATIC Tokens to pay GAS fees for every transaction. It's same like BNB (Binance Coin) on Binance Smart Chain (BSC) & ETH on Ethereum Blockchain. In order to prepare yourself for the upcoming yield farming platform of Cub Finance on Polygon, you can go ahead and setup your Metamask for Matic Network. Once you are done, the next step is to fill your wallet with MATIC tokens, obviously on MATIC Network. Transferring your ERC-20 Tokens to MATIC Network is so costly because you need to pay GAS fees in ETH for every transaction.
How To Get Free MATIC Via Polygon Faucets
In this blog, I am providing you two Polygon (MATIC) faucets which you can use to kick things off for free or whenever you are out of GAS. This happens to all of us! We all keep forgetting to check our balance. It very easy to get lost in hundreds of transactions we do every day. Once you are done with your Metamask setup for Matic Network, you can use to any of these faucets. Even 0.005 MATIC is enough to do several basic transactions and fill up your account.
MATIC Supply
Matic Supply is quite easy to use. This faucet will only send you 0.0005 MATIC - which is enough to deposit some fund and get started with your DeFi journey on Polygon.
Just hit on "Connect" and it will connect with your Metamask automatically. You need to be on Matic Network (in Metamask) before your proceed.
It will show you your account address and the the current MATIC balance in your account. Once you hit receive, your MATIC tokens (0.0005) will be sent to your address in a few seconds.
Mac & Cheese Finance
I really like the name of this facuet. 😂 Different website but pretty much does the same thing as Matic Supply. You can do this for anyone who wants a little help in getting some GAS money because there is no need to connect your wallet.
Just enter your Polygon Wallet Address and click on "SEND". 0.001 MATIC will be transferred to your account.
Once you are done with the above steps, fill up your MATIC wallet with at least 1 MATIC. So that you don't run of GAS for a very long time. That's just a friendly suggestion. Even 0.1 MATIC is more than enough. I would also suggest you guys to read the information provided in the above websites to know more about Polygon's ecosystem. You might learn something cool about Polygon Network and how it works.
I am sure many of you had a hard time getting your BNB bags loaded up on Metamask for the first time on BSC DeFi platforms like Cub Finance. Most of us have been there! 😂 I hope these faucets will help you get started quickly on Polygon Network. Please reblog and upvote this post for more visibility. Help everyone get onboard!
