How to get MATIC

MATIC is the native token of Polygon. It is required when using Polygon to pay for gas fees when processing transactions.

Prerequisites

• You have an account on a CEX (Binance, Bybit, KuCoin, MEXC, etc.) that supports Polygon.

• You want to buy MATIC with fiat

• You have installed Metamask wallet (if not, please use this link to download Metamask.io).

Buying MATIC on a CEX

Buy MATIC on a CEX (Centralized Exchange) such as Binance, Coinbase, KuCoin, etc. Please check on your chosen CEX if they support Polygon. CEXs differ in what chains they support and some do not support certain chains, or withdrawals, depending on the asset.

1. Buy MATIC on your preferred CEX.

   1. You can buy crypto directly with a credit/debit card.

   2. P2P or Bank Transfer.

      1. If using P2P/Bank Transfer you will need to exchange your fiat currency for MATIC using the spot exchange. Some CEXs offer a simple convert option.

2. Withdraw MATIC to your ERC20 address and source chain.

This is the Binance UI. UI will differ between CEXs but the process is the same.
