How to get EMON and purchase Mons

All Mons available in the Ethermon Store are now for sale exclusively in EMON (Ethermon's on-chain token) via the Polygon Network. You will need EMON and a small amount of MATIC on the Polygon network to cover the gas fees (i.e., transaction costs).

Note: Matic has rebranded to Polygon. In this article, we may refer to Polygon as MATIC interchangeably.

 

 

Wallets Supported

 

Desktop Wallets: Metamask & Formatic. Mobile Wallets (via Walletconnect): Metamask mobile, Token Pocket & Trust Wallet Note.

 

Step-by-step guide

If you already have Matic tokens on the Matic network you can jump to Step 4.

 

Step 1: Add the Matic/Polygon Network to your wallet

To be able to see your token balances on the Matic Network (or transfer funds from the Ethereum Network), you will need to add the Matic Network settings to your wallet. The easiest way to do this is to go to https://quickswap.exchange/#/swap and click "Switch to Polygon" to automatically add. If this doesn’t work, you can manually add the Matic Network by following these instructions.

 

​

 

Step 2: Move your funds to Polygon

The safest and cheapest way (at the time of writing this article) is to buy MATIC tokens on the Ethereum network. Once you have MATIC in your wallet on the Ethereum network, you can move ahead with transferring it to the Polygon/Matic Network via the Polygon Bridge.

 

Note: Ethereum gas fees are currently very high to send funds from the Ethereum chain to the Matic chain. There is nothing Ethermon can do about these fees. However, once on Matic, transaction fees are normally well below USD $0.10 each.

​

Step 3: Transfer MATIC using the official Polygon bridge

First, go to https://wallet.polygon.technology/bridge.

​

1. Connect your wallet

 

​

2. Select the bridge icon

 

​

3. Select the "Matic Token" and click "Transfer"

 

​

 

Sending Emon From Ethereum Network To Matic Network

If you already own EMON on Ethereum Network, you can send across the Matic bridge directly. However, you will still need a small amount of MATIC on the Polygon network to cover gas. You will not be able to exchanges your EMON on Polygon for MATIC as you will not have MATIC yet to cover the gas cost. So, you will also need to transfer over some MATIC.

 

Step 4: Purchase EMON via the Quickswap Exchange

Once your MATIC has arrived on the Matic Network, you can now use the Quickswap Exchange to exchange some MATIC for EMON tokens.

 

1. Go to https://quickswap.exchange/#/swap.
2. Connect your wallet if not done so already.
3. Select EMON from the dropdown menu.
4. Click exchanges and your transaction will complete (normally in around 2-5 mins).

 

Finding Emon on Quickswap Exchange

If you cannot find EMON in the dropdown menu on Quickswap, you will need to paste our token address into the "Search Name" or "Paste Address" field at the top to add manually. Select "Add Token" and input address: 0xd6a5ab46ead26f49b03bbb1f9eb1ad5c1767974a

 

This should find EMON, which is 18 decimal places.

​

Step 5: Buy the Mons on Ethermon.io

Once you have EMON and a small amount of MATIC in your wallet (both on the Matic Network), go back to Ethermon.io where you can purchase your new Mons.

To purchase, please make sure your wallet is connected to the Matic Network.

​

Do not exchange all of your Matic for Emon.

You will need to keep a small amount of Matic in your wallet to cover Gas fees (i.e., transactions costs). 1 MATIC should allow you to make at least 20 transactions, if not many more depending on current gas fees.

​

Transferring Mons to a different wallet in the future.

You can transfer your Mons to any other address by selecting the Mon you wish to send from your "My Collections" page. For Matic Mons, it does not matter which network you wallet is connected to. To transfer legacy Ethereum Mons, please remain on the Ethereum Network to transfer. Alternatively, you can transfer your Mons independently via an NFT marketplace (such as Opensea).

 

NFT Markets

Beyond gameplay, Ethermon players can also profit from selling or renting their assets. In addition to the official Ethermon store on our website, players can sell and buy Mons from our secondary peer-to-peer markets or 3rd-party markets such as Opensea.

 

Ethermon store

Before Mons are released in the wild and resold in the open market, you can often find them for sale at the official Ethermon store. New Mons are regularly added to the store as the prior limited supply of Mons sell out.

 

Ethermon market

The Ethermon market is the official site where players who already own Ethermon NFTs can exchange NFTs with other payers in a player-to-player trade ($ETH only). No new Ethermon NFTs are created and the Ethermon platform receives a small percentage of the sale price for facilitating the trade. Players can buy, rent, sell, and lend on-chain Mons to each other on this platform. Ethermon takes a small 3% fee of Mon sales.

 

Opensea

Opensea is a leading 3rd-party market where Ethermon NFTs are also listed for sale by other collectors. Opensea and Ethermon each take a small 2.5% fee of Mon sales, making the total fee 5% on Opensea compared to 3% on the Ethermon Market.
