Getting setup
The game requires users to have a MetaMask account to connect to the Polygon blockchain.
Metamask Setup
MetaMask is a software cryptocurrency wallet used to interact with the Ethereum blockchain. It allows users to access their Ethereum wallet through a browser extension or mobile app, which can then be used to interact with decentralized applications
You will need to download Metamask and install it on your preferred browser. Then you'll need to create a MetaMask account.
Remember to keep you password and Secret Backup Phrase safe.
Polygon Setup
Polygon is an Ethereum layer-2 protocol and framework for building interconnected blockchain ecosystems, launched in 2017. Polygon maintains the $MATIC ticker for its native utility token.
You'll need to connect your MetaMask account to the Polygon blockchain.
To connect to the Polygon network you can follow the following article: https://medium.com/stakingbits/setting-up-metamask-for-polygon-matic-network-838058f6d844
Your Network configuration should look similar to the following:
Optional RPC networks
When Polygon has heavy traffic, a you may face difficulties connecting to the network. When this happens you can optionally use one of the following RPC URLs in your Metamask config.
https://rpc-mainnet.matic.network or
https://matic-mainnet.chainstacklabs.com or
https://rpc-mainnet.maticvigil.com or
https://rpc-mainnet.matic.quiknode.pro or
https://matic-mainnet-full-rpc.bwarelabs.com
$MATIC
Before playing, you will also need to ensure that you have some $MATIC in your MetaMask wallet to fund your farm. Each time you make a blockchain transaction you need to pay a small amount of $MATIC to the Blockchain to secure your data.
You can buy MATIC tokens on a range of open exchanges. To use on the Polygon network, you will first need to transfer these tokens from the exchange (eg. Binance) onto the Polygon network. The easiest way to achieve this is through Binance's recent Polygon Wallet Integration. Now you can directly withdraw to your Polygon address that was created above during MetaMask/Polygon setup. You can find this by going into the Withdraw section of Binance. Input your Address, select the network (MATIC) and the desired amount. Within a couple of minutes you'll be able to see the amount sent on your MetaMask account.
It is important that you keep the $MATIC in your browser wallet (i.e.) Metamask and do not send it to your farm's address.
