A Guide on Bridging FVT to Polygon
To use finance.vote on POLYGON you will need to have some MATIC in your wallet and have POLYGON chain added to your MetaMask wallet.
The following instructions will guide you through the process for MetaMask.
1. Add POLYGON to your MetaMask wallet:
Go to Coingecko and add POLYGON to your wallet.
You can do this under the info section on the right-hand side.
In the contract section, you will see the POLYGON contract address and the MetaMask logo.
Click on the logo, and this will start the process of adding it to your MetaMask wallet.
MetaMask will pop up, and you will need to authorise it to add the MATIC tokens to your wallet, which also adds the chain to your MetaMask.
2. Purchase MATIC
Buy MATIC on the Ethereum chain via a DEX or CEX of your choice.
You can use most DEX’s to buy MATIC. Uniswap, 1inch and Sushiswa are options.
N.B. If you want to buy FVT on Polygon you can use quickswap
3. Bridge your MATIC to POLYGON
Now you need to bridge your MATIC to the POLYGON network. Bridges can be temperamental so they may be operational or inoperable at any time. Each bridge will have instructions on how to use its technology. Please read all of the bridges documentations and any warnings before using it.
Please note: None of the bridges are created or run by finance.vote or FactoryDAO, and we will not be able to provide support. Please use it at your own risk.
Bridges:
POLYGON: https://wallet.POLYGON.technology/bridge/ (This is the official bridge created and run by POLYGON. )
Umbria: https://bridge.umbria.network/bridge/ethereum-POLYGON/MATIC
Voyager: https://app.thevoyager.io/swap
You are ready to mint an SBT and Predict To Earn with finance.vote.
4. Mint your SBT
Follow this link and mint your SBT:
https://mint.factorydao.org/financedotvote
Depending on the whitelist status of your wallet you will have one of the following options available:
a) a free SBT mint availible to you
b) the price of an SBT mint stated in $MATIC
c) an indication that you are not eligible to mint
At the time of publishing, the best way to get a free SBT mint is to buy a finance.vote Ethereum FVT-NFT which will automatically make you eligible for the free SBT whitelist. This is subject to change soon.
As it stands those eligible to mint a free SBT are:
Those who hold an Ethereum FVT-NFT aka a Citizens ID. Mintable here
Those who hold a BSC FVT-NFT (Now depreciated and no longer mintable)
If you wish to learn about how to be whitelisted and eligible to mint, visit the finance.vote discord: Discord or join our Telegram channel:
5. Predict to Earn:
It's time to use your shiny new SBT and predict to earn. Follow this link to participate in finance.vote.
6. Help Govern the Game:
Would you like to be involved in reaching a consensus on how the prediction market runs? Many game parameters have to be tuned and reviewed over time, and that function is managed by finance.vote DAO. To engage in governance, you have to hold a separate Ethereum FVT-NFT.
In total, there are 1000 FVT-NFTs available on the Ethereum chain. If they are still available to mint, you will be able to here
If the Eth FVT-NFT has been minted out, you may find one on the secondary market.
Once you have an FVT-NFT you will be able to engage in governance here
