## Transferring ERC-20 MATIC to KuCoin

In order to save moving MATIC from Ethereum to Polygon blockchain using a bridge (for advanced users), we recommend using [KuCoin](https://www.kucoin.com/). It's quick to create an account and once you have completed that, you want to find and retrieve your MATIC wallet address to send your MATIC from Coinbase to KuCoin. Here are the steps:

**Step 1: Enter your Main Account on KuCoin**

**Step 2: Search for MATIC and Click "Deposit"**

**Step 3: Select "Ethereum Network" (Not Polygon)**

Coinbase works with MATIC exclusive on the Ethereum Network (please read their page) <https://help.coinbase.com/en/coinbase/getting-started/crypto-education/polygon>

![Click "Select a Network" and select "ETH" in the pop-up](/files/GTa4qvWk4MnowClcXeZH)

![Copy the address provided](/files/bxMjMpJjs89raMZ7KDn4)

Paste the address to the recipient in Coinbase and send the MATIC

## Transferring MATIC on KuCoin to MetaMask on Polygon Mainnet

First, if you already have MetaMask, you can add Polygon Network to you MetaMask wallet by going to [chainlist.org](https://chainlist.org/) and adding the Polygon Network to your MetaMask wallet

Next is to go into your MetaMask wallet and copy your wallet address and paste into the recipient wallet in KuCoin
