To buy Polar and use the Polaris platform on Polygon blockchain and you will need to set up the Matic network on your Metamask.
Itβs pretty simple and straightforward, and itβs easy to switch back and forth between Layer 1 and Layer 2 using the button near the top of the MetaMask application.
Click on the network selection button on the top of the Metamask app. Metamask installation is described in the previous BSC section.
Click on the βCustom RPCβ to add the Matic mainnet information.
Select βCustom RPCβ.
After clicking βCustom RPCβ, a screen will appear allowing you to set up the custom RPC for Matic Network. Enter in the Matic mainnet details as follows:
Network Name: Matic Mainnet
New RPC URL: Select one of the following

Chain ID: 137
Symbol: MATIC
Block Explorer URL: https://polygonscan.com/
Once youβve added the details click on the βSaveβ button. Youβll then be connected to the Matic mainnet. That's all!
