First, log in to Metamask (you can download it here if you don't have it already).
You can create a new wallet or import an existing one.
Once you're in, click on the drop-down menu at the top. By default it will be connected to "Ethereum Mainnet".
Select "Custom RPC" from the list and input the following parameters:
Network Name: Polygon PoS (Matic) Mainnet
New RPC URL: https://polygon-rpc.com/
Chain ID: 137
Currency Symbol: MATIC
Block Explorer URL: https://polygonscan.com
Click [Save] to add the new network. You're now connected to Polygon (MATIC).
