3. Review the Swap
Review the gas fees for the transaction, this is of utmost importance as any error might result in the loss of your coins. As we are on the Polygon network, the gas fees are kept very low at about $0.01 (at the time of swapping). The gas fees will be charged on MATIC and this fee will depend on the network congestion at the time of withdrawal. Click “Swap” once you are done reviewing.

What are gas fees?
Gas refers to the cost necessary to perform a transaction on the network. Miners set the price of gas based on supply and demand for the computational energy needed to process and validate transactions. When you make a transaction, you will need to pay gas fees to ensure that your transaction goes through. The system works on a first-come-first-serve basis; to speed up your transaction, you will need to pay higher gas fees.
4. Wait for the transaction to go through
The speed will depend on the congestion of the network. Facilitating the swap on Polygon will be quite fast, about 30 seconds to a minute.
5. Success!
Once your transaction has gone through, the MATIC bought will be stored in your MetaMask wallet. You can also view the swap on Polygon Scan by clicking on the link provided.
