People tend to bridge their stable coins or ETH over to Polygon and forget that they need MATIC tokens to pay for gas fees on the other side.

If you don’t have any MATIC tokens in your Polygon wallet, then you can’t move funds once the bridge deposits your stable coins.

To avoid the stress, bridge your ERC20 or BEP20 MATIC tokens over to Polygon first. Once your tokens have been bridged over, you’ll have native MATIC tokens to pay for transactions.

If you’re still stuck after bridging funds and need MATIC for gas, you’re in luck!

1 MATIC token can pay for around 100 transactions, so you don’t need many and there are several faucets that distribute MATIC tokens for free.

Instead of hunting the internet for airdrops, use an official faucet. BE VERY LEARY OF AIRDROPS! They are often scams that empty your wallet.

A cryptocurrency faucet: is a website that gives away small amounts of crypto for free, so that you can start using the network without buying the token needed for gas.

Projects use faucets to help onboard new users and can run out of tokens, so we’ll provide links to several.

Get free MATIC using the Coinbase Earn program
The Coinbase Earn program allows users to earn free tokens by watching videos and answering a quiz question or two. It’s not a faucet, but is a way to get free MATIC tokens.

The MATIC tokens you get from the Coinbase Earn program will be ERC20, so you’ll have to bridge them over to Polygon using the POS bridge.

Ask Polygon support for free MATIC tokens
If none of that works, then it’s worth asking the team for help. Polygon’s official website is https://polygon.technology/. Find their social media channels, where you can reach out to their team. I’ve found that they’re easiest to reach in their Discord server.

If none of the suggestions above work for you, try a gasless swap at https://wallet.polygon.technology/swap/
