Getting WETH and Bridging to Polygon
Getting Wrapped Ether into your wallet on the Polygon is the first step to buying a Mixpass for EulerBeats Futura
We summarized the process of getting WETH on Polygon here. In this tutorial we focus on getting Eth from the Ethereum Mainnet to the Polygon network. The process for buying a Mixpass:
Get ETH
Move ETH to Polygon
Buy Eth
There are many places to buy Ether. Either directly from a centralized exchange or from a wallet such as MetaMask. We assume you already have Eth in your wallet.
Once you've purchased your ETH, you then need to bridge it across to the Polygon network.
Option A: Use the bridge in the MetaMask Portfolio app”
One of the options is the MetaMask Portfolio Bridge. Always do your own research. When ready get started by connecting your wallet.
Click on “Bridge” in the sidebar,
Then select the following inputs:
From this network: “Ethereum”
To this network: “Polygon”
You send: “ETH”
You receive: “WETH”
Enter the amount of ETH you would like to transfer to WETH and wait for a quote.
If you are happy with the quote, click “submit transaction”
Wait for the bridge transfer to take place. This could take several minutes so be patient!
Option B: Move Eth to Polygon Network using Umbra Narni bridge
The Umbria Narni Bridge is another bridge product we've had success with in the past. Always do your own research. When ready get started by connecting your wallet.
You will have to send a bit more than 0.2 Ether to pay for the bridge fee. When you send 0.2 Ether from the Ethereum Mainnet you will get Wrapped Ether (WETH) needed to buy MixPasses.
Next, click on "Send" to get to the confirmation screen
On the confirmation screen review transaction request details.
Next, click Send to invoke your wallet. In this case it's a MetaMask
Verify the information presented by MetaMask in the window.
Next, click Confirm to send the transaction
At this stage the transaction will go through a two step process. First you will get a confirmation that the transaction went through on the Ethereum Mainnet and then you will get a confirmation that the transaction went through the Polygon network.
Next, watch the progress of sending the funds to the bridge
This message informs you that the assets were sent to the bridge.
Next, watch the bridge sending funds to the Polygon Network
The funds have been sent to your address on the Polygon Network.
Let's check that the funds, i.e., Wrapped Ether (WETH), are in your wallet.
Note: if you have not configured your wallet to connect to the Polygon Network please do so before the next step. If you're using MetaMask, please follow easy instructions
Next, Switch your MetaMask from the Ethereum Mainnet to the Polygon Network
Use the pull down menu showing the connection to the Ethereum Mainnet to switch to the Polygon Mainnet network you configured earlier.
Click on the Assets subtab in the MetaMask wallet to view the assets and verify that you have 0.2 Wrapped Ether (WETH) in your wallet.
You are now ready to buy a mint pass.
Option C: Move Eth to Polygon Network using Hop.Exchange
Another option is the Hop Exchange. Always do your own research. When ready, get started by connecting your wallet. In our case, we use MetaMask to connect to the Ethereum Mainnet.
Next, open the Hop.Exchange app
The cost of 1 MinPass is 0.1 WETH on Polygon. In this example we're bringing over just under 0.4 ETH to Polygon, because this account already has some WETH.
Next, confirm the transaction
Click Send to continue and activate MetaMask to process transaction.
Next, Confirm the transaction
Click Confirm to continue.
Next, wait, and monitor the progress
Next, continue waiting until the transaction completes
The process is completed.
The funds have been sent to your address on the Polygon Network.
Let's check that the funds, i.e., Wrapped Ether (WETH), are in your wallet.
Note: if you have not configured your wallet to connect to the Polygon Network please do so before the next step. If you're using MetaMask, please follow easy instructions
Next, Switch your MetaMask from the Ethereum Mainnet to the Polygon Network
The funds have been moved to the Polygon Network. You're now ready to buy a Futura Mix.
