We start by creating new wallet. For safety, please create a new wallet and you can then later transfer the amount of Matic/Polygon using the polygon network you want to invest in EOSIF private token sale.
Create a password
The password we created satisfied all the requirements.
For privacy reasons, we selected 'No Thanks'
Click 'Open wallet'
Next, we have to backup our secret phrase. NEVER, EVER SHARE IT WITH ANYONE
Click 'Show' which will take you to the next popped out screen
enter your password and click submit. Your seed phrase will appear. write it down somewhere safe and never share it with anyone even if they claim to be from Trustwallet or EOSI Finance team.
enter your seed phrase according. Remember, if anyone has your seed phrase, they can easily import your wallet to their phone or pc and drain all your funds.
Since EOSIF is on polygon/Matic network, we will have to change our wallet network to polygon network. Polygon and Matic are same. This wallet is currently on Ethereum network, so time to change to polygon network. We click the ethereum icon, and then select polygon from the pop-out options
We are selecting polygon network. NOT polygon zkEVM
Once selected, our wallet network icon will change from ethereum network to polygon network. And now, we can proceed to fund our wallet with Matic. You can fund it from your binance, bybit, kucoin or any other source but importantly, fund them using the polygon/matic network. Click the Matic token that is below LUNC
Our wallet is empty. So click Receive, and you will have your public wallet address. This address is what you will be using to receive almost all EVM tokens/coins. That is why, it's important to know which of the EVM network you are using for your transaction. YOU MIGHT LOSE YOUR FUNDS/TOKENS/COINS IF YOU USE THE WRONG NETWORK.
Here, we just copy our wallet public address using that copy icon, and can then paste it on our binance, bybit etc from where we want to send the matic. That's all for the first step which is setting up our web3 wallet
