How to Deposit ETH to Matic

Use the Matic PoS Bridge Step by Step

1. Checklist prior to using the bridge

To start off, you will need to visit the following link: https://wallet.matic.network/bridge/

Once you're there, make sure you have all of the following:

MetaMask wallet - if not, go here: https://metamask.io/download.html
ETH funds in the MetaMask - ensure there's enough to buy the car(s) you want!*
Account selected with ETH on it, like here:

* Make sure you have enough ETH to cover the car(s) cost AND gas! More about this below.

3. Choose amount to convert (make sure this covers the cost of your desired car(s)).

Box will appear stating this conversion may take some time to complete. Click Continue.

Here is why we needed some extra funds to cover gas! Click Continue.

Confirm the amount is correct and you are sending FROM Ethereum TO Matic on the PoS Bridge, as in the image below. Click to continue.

This conversion will take a bit of time so the following screen will guide you as to when your funds are ready. You can View the transaction on Etherscan while you wait 😃 .

Close that box when the bar reaches "Completed".

4. Verify funds have been converted.

Click Back to Wallet on the left side.

If you close the page by mistake, return with this: https://wallet.matic.network/

Confirm that the funds are now on Matic, represented by "Ether (PoS-WETH)".

Additionally, you can verify your funds on the Matic blockchain explorer by going here: https://explorer-mainnet.maticvigil.com/

Copy + paste your wallet address into the search bar on the top right and click Enter
Navigate to the Tokens sub-menu as per the image below
Your funds will appear as "Wrapped Ether" - ERC20 token

You are now part of an advanced group that has used a Layer 2 Ethereum sidechain!

5. Visit Open Sea (After new Riot Racers cars are dropped)

Riot Racers Car Collection page, go here: https://opensea.io/collection/riot-racers-cars

Choose your desired car and click Buy Now

Click Unlock to allow Opensea to use your Matic funds and then Sign with Metamask

Do the same for "Sign message"

If you see text as in the above image, you are now officially a Riot Racer!
