How to Add Polygon to MetaMask

Learn how Polygon works in MetaMask and what users should verify before using Polygon tokens or apps.

Network map

What this means

Polygon is EVM-compatible and can be used in MetaMask, but users need the correct network, gas token, and chain-specific token contracts.

Core ideas

What to understand first

Polygon is a separate network from Ethereum.
MetaMask can use Polygon through network selection.
Polygon tokens have Polygon-specific contract addresses.
Users need the correct native gas token for transactions.

User checklist

What to check before moving assets

Select Polygon before using Polygon apps.
Keep enough native gas token.
Use a trusted Polygon explorer.
Check exchange deposit networks carefully.

Risk note

Common mistakes to avoid

Wrong-network withdrawals are common.
Token names can be copied across chains.
Cheap gas can encourage risky approvals.
