How to get started

Good day! If you are reading this, you are on the right track. Before anything else, you must have 3 important things to get started on this game - Metamask account, Polygon wallet, and $MATIC

Setting Up a Metamask Account

You'll need to add BSC (BEP-20) to your Metamask, you can do this by going into settings and adding a custom RPC. For BEP-20, it should look like this

Network name: Binance Smart Chain

New RPC URL: https://bsc-dataseed.binance.org/ Chain ID: 56

Symbol: BNB

Explorer: https://www.bscscan.com/

You'll also want your wallet set up for Polygon, so you should add the Polygon RPC while we're here:

You'll also want your wallet set up for Polygon, so you should add the Polygon RPC while we're here:

Network name: Polygon Main net

New RPC URL: https://polygon-rpc.com/

Chain ID: 137

Symbol: MATIC

Explorer: https://polygonscan.com/

Getting a token you can swap

Now that you've got some BNB in your wallet, it's time to head over to pancakeswap.finance, where we can swap the BNB to a stable coin. You'll want to get USDT, USDC, or DAI. Make sure you save some BNB to cover the cost of the bridging! Pancake Swap will ask if you want to import the token to your Metamask, so go ahead and do that if you feel like it. All it does is make it visually appear and won't affect anything else we do.

Bridging to Polygon

Now that you've got your stablecoin of choice, and some BNB to cover gas, head over to https://xpollinate.io This is our bridge from BSC to Polygon. For the "from" network, select Binance Smart Chain, and for the "to" network, select Polygon. Accept the contract and transactions that will pop up. This can take a while, (about 15 minutes the first time I did it) so as long as you get the pop up showing that the bridge is in process, have some patience that it's working.

Swapping your Stablecoin to MATIC

Now that you've got some funds on polygon, you probably wanna rush over to Quickswap and buy some $MPC, but it's telling you insufficient funds. What the hell man?! First, we gotta stop by https://wallet.polygon.technology/gas-swap where we can swap those stablecoins for some MATIC, gas free. Just select how much you want, what you want to pay with, and you should have some MATIC now. Final step: Head on over to mypixelclub.com, and your good to go
