# Send Polygon to your agent
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
## Fast path
- Download the package from Yavira.
- Extract it into a folder your agent can access.
- Paste one of the prompts below and point your agent at the extracted folder.
## Suggested prompts
### New install

```text
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
```
### Upgrade existing

```text
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
```

## Documentation

### Network Confusion (Critical)

Polygon PoS is the main chain — EVM compatible, uses MATIC for gas
Polygon zkEVM is separate — different RPC, same MATIC token but bridged separately
MATIC is rebranding to POL — transition in progress, wallets will update
Polygon Mainnet ≠ Ethereum Mainnet — same address format, different networks
Sending to wrong network loses funds — always verify network before sending

### MATIC/POL Token

MATIC used for gas on Polygon PoS — required for all transactions
MATIC exists on Ethereum as ERC-20 — must bridge to use on Polygon
POL replacing MATIC — same value, automatic migration for most users
Native MATIC on Polygon vs ERC-20 MATIC on Ethereum — different networks

### Bridging

Official Polygon Bridge: bridge.polygon.technology — safe but slow (30+ minutes to Polygon, 7 days back)
Withdrawals to Ethereum take 7 days — checkpoint mechanism for security
Third-party bridges faster but have smart contract risk — Hop, Across, Stargate
Bridge MATIC before bridging tokens — need gas on destination chain
Always have MATIC for gas after bridging — tokens without gas are stuck

### Gas and Fees

Gas prices in gwei like Ethereum — but much cheaper (typically 30-100 gwei)
Transactions cost fractions of a cent — major advantage over Ethereum
Gas spikes during high activity — NFT mints, popular drops
Failed transactions still cost gas — same as Ethereum behavior
Priority fee for faster inclusion — same EIP-1559 model

### Tokens and DeFi

Same token standards as Ethereum — ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155 all work
Many Ethereum tokens have Polygon versions — verify contract addresses
Wrapped tokens need unwrapping — bridged ETH is not native ETH
QuickSwap, Uniswap, Aave all on Polygon — same interfaces as Ethereum
Lower liquidity than Ethereum mainnet — higher slippage on large trades

### Wallet Setup

MetaMask supports Polygon natively — add network from chainlist.org
Chain ID: 137 — RPC: https://polygon-rpc.com
Block explorer: polygonscan.com — verify transactions and contracts
Same address as Ethereum — but balances are network-specific

### Common Issues

"Insufficient MATIC for gas" — need MATIC, not just tokens
Transaction stuck pending — gas price too low, speed up or wait
Tokens not showing in wallet — add custom token with contract address
Bridge transaction pending — checkpoints take time, don't panic
"Network not supported" — dApp may not support Polygon, check docs

### zkEVM Specifics

Separate network from PoS — different RPC and chain ID (1101)
Uses ETH for gas, not MATIC — bridge ETH from Ethereum
Faster finality than optimistic rollups — ZK proofs instead of fraud proofs
Some opcodes behave differently — minor contract compatibility issues
Growing ecosystem — fewer dApps than PoS currently

### Staking

MATIC staking on Ethereum mainnet — validators secure both networks
Delegate to validators — no minimum, rewards vary by validator
Unbonding takes 80 checkpoints (~3-4 days) — funds locked during unbonding
Liquid staking available — stMATIC, MaticX for liquidity while staking

### Security

Same security model as Ethereum — private key controls all
Approve tokens carefully — revoke unused approvals at polygonscan.com
Verify contract addresses — scam tokens use similar names
Official bridge is safest — third-party bridges have additional risk
Keep some MATIC for emergencies — stuck tokens without gas is common
