Metamask Configuration for Polygon Mumbai

To interact with the marketplace on the Polygon Mumbai testnet, you need to configure your Metamask wallet:

1. Open Metamask and click on the network dropdown at the top.
2. Select "Add Network" and then "Add a network manually".
3. Fill in the following details:
   • Network Name: Polygon Mumbai
   • New RPC URL: https://rpc-mumbai.maticvigil.com/
   • Chain ID: 80001
   • Currency Symbol: MATIC

Getting MATIC from Faucets

To interact with the marketplace, you'll need test MATIC tokens. Here are some faucets where you can get free test MATIC:

1. Polygon Faucet
2. Alchemy Mumbai Faucet

Steps to get test MATIC:

1. Copy your Metamask wallet address
2. Visit one of the faucet websites
3. Paste your wallet address and request the tokens
4. Wait for the transaction to complete (usually takes a few seconds)
5. The test MATIC will appear in your Metamask wallet on the Mumbai network

Remember, these are test tokens and have no real value.

Usage

1. Connect your MetaMask wallet to the application
2. Ensure you're on the Polygon Mumbai network and have test MATIC
3. Browse listed properties on the marketplace
4. List your own property by minting a new NFT
5. Make offers on properties or buy them directly
6. Manage your owned properties in your profile
