# Getting on Polygon

In order to view the flow of funds in your accounts, on the Polygon Network, you will need to configure Polygon `{mainnet}` URL on Metamask.<br>

There are two ways to do it:

1. [Using Polygonscan](https://docs.polygon.technology/docs/develop/metamask/config-polygon-on-metamask#polygon-scan)
2. [Add the Polygon network manually](https://docs.polygon.technology/docs/develop/metamask/config-polygon-on-metamask#add-the-polygon-network-manually)

#### Using Polygonscan

```
NOTE
Please make sure you have already installed Metamask!
```

Please follow the steps to add Polygon’s Mainnet:<br>

* Navigate to [polygonscan.com](https://polygonscan.com/)
