Buying Matic from Crypto.com
Buying Matic on the native Polygon network is the easiest and cheapest way to get MATIC into your MetaMask wallet. We suggest our international sloth buyers use Crypto.com to purchase Matic.
In this guide, we’ll go over how to purchase Matic from Crypto.com and how to send that Matic to your MetaMask wallet.
If you’re based in Australia we recommend following our guide on buying Matic on CoinSpot exchange.
Crypto.com is just one exchange that allows you to buy native Matic tokens on the Polygon network, making it easy to send Matic to your MetaMask. With that said, you don’t have to use Crypto.com to buy Matic, we just found it was the easiest way and had a very intuitive user experience, and easy to use for newcomers.
Download the Crypto.com App
This guide uses an iOS device but presumes the same steps apply for Android-based devices. To get started, download and install the Crypto.com phone app below.

Next step is to search for the Matic/Polygon token in the list of coins to purchase.

Click the buy button.
How many Mattic?
Enter the amount of Matic tokens you’d like to purchase. You can enter your credit card details here to purchase the number of tokens you require.
Remember to get a couple extra Matic for GAS at minting. GAS is very low (cents) on the Polygon network and paid via the Matic token.
So we’d suggest 1-10 extra tokens and that will be enough to cover any GAS fees for a long time. These extra Matic coins will also cover the transaction fee we’ll be charging at on the Sloth store (typically from 8-10 Matic per transaction) so now might be a good time to stock up on some extra Matic coins.
