\ud83d\uded2 How to Buy NFTs on the Polygon network<\/span><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Prepare your wallet<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Make sure you have\u00a0<\/span>MetaMask<\/span><\/strong><\/a>\u00a0(or another Web3 wallet) connected to OpenSea and set to the\u00a0<\/span>Polygon network<\/span><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    Have enough POL (formerly MATIC)<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 You need a small amount of\u00a0<\/span>POL<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0in your wallet to pay for the\u00a0<\/span>gas fees<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0(transaction costs) on Polygon.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    Have enough WETH<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 The NFT price is shown in\u00a0<\/span>WETH<\/span><\/strong>.<\/span>
    \nWhat is WETH?<\/span><\/em>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0<\/span>WETH (Wrapped Ethereum)<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0is basically\u00a0<\/span>ETH that has been converted to work on the Polygon network<\/span><\/strong>. Since Polygon is a different blockchain than Ethereum Mainnet, you can’t send regular ETH there directly. WETH is a token that represents ETH 1:1 but lives on Polygon, so it can be used for buying and selling NFTs on that chain.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  4. \n

    Don’t have WETH?<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 No problem! OpenSea will\u00a0<\/span>auto-convert<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0your ETH (from other networks) or your POL (on Polygon) into WETH at checkout. Just select the token you want to pay with, and OpenSea handles the swap behind the scenes.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  5. \n

    Click “Buy Now”<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Review the total cost, confirm the transaction in your MetaMask wallet, and you’re done! The NFT will appear in your “Collected” tab.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
