# Preparatory Steps

1. Install Metamask and connect to Polygon Network. You can follow a guide similar to this one: <https://medium.com/prepo/setting-up-metamask-and-getting-eth-matic-on-polygon-step-by-step-guide-fd55147a0f05>
2. When you launch our platform, you will be prompted to confirm the connection between Market and your Metamask wallet by a pop-up. Click ‘confirm’.&#x20;
3. Market uses MATIC for gas fees so remember to fund your account with MATIC to deposit or swap coins on Market.
