# How to Deposit ETH to Matic

## Use the Matic PoS Bridge Step by Step

## **1. Checklist prior to using the bridge**

To start off, you will need to visit the following link: <https://wallet.matic.network/bridge/>

Once you're there, make sure you have all of the following:

* MetaMask wallet - if not, go here: <https://metamask.io/download.html>
* ETH funds in the MetaMask - **ensure there's enough to buy the car(s) you want!\***
* Account selected with ETH on it, like here:&#x20;

&#x20;\* **Make sure you have enough ETH to cover the car(s) cost AND gas! More about this below.**
{% endhint %}

## **2. Sign in using MetaMask wallet and confirm the account listed matches the one with ETH funds on it.**
