WALLET SETUP
Get set up to receive and hold $CROC
BEFORE YOU START
You'll need someone to send you $CROC—it's invite only. But setting up your wallet first means you'll be ready when that happens.
GOT A PIECE OF PAPER?
Some OG $CROC holders receive a pre-funded wallet with the seed words written on an actual, physical piece of paper. Old school.
If that's you, skip to Step 1 and choose "Import an existing wallet" instead of creating a new one. Enter the 12 words from your paper, and your $CROC will be waiting for you. Then make sure to follow Step 2 to add the Polygon network.
INSTALL METAMASK
MetaMask is a browser extension and mobile app that acts as your crypto wallet. It's free and widely trusted.
DESKTOP (RECOMMENDED)
- Go to metamask.io/download
- Click "Install MetaMask for Chrome" (or your browser)
- Add the extension to your browser
- Click the MetaMask icon and select "Create a new wallet"
- Create a strong password
- IMPORTANT: Write down your 12-word Secret Recovery Phrase on paper. Never share it. Never store it digitally.
- Confirm your recovery phrase to complete setup
MOBILE
- Download MetaMask from the App Store or Google Play
- Open the app and tap "Create a new wallet"
- Follow the same steps as desktop to secure your wallet
SECURITY WARNING
Your Secret Recovery Phrase is the master key to your wallet. Anyone with these 12 words can steal everything. MetaMask support will never ask for it.
ADD POLYGON NETWORK
$CROC lives on the Polygon network, not Ethereum mainnet. You'll need to add Polygon to MetaMask.
EASY WAY (CHAINLIST)
- Go to chainlist.org/chain/137
- Connect your MetaMask wallet
- Click "Add to MetaMask"
- Approve the network addition in MetaMask
MANUAL WAY
- Open MetaMask and click the network dropdown (top of window)
- Click "Add network" then "Add a network manually"
- Enter the following details:
- Click "Save"
Once added, you can switch to Polygon anytime using the network dropdown in MetaMask.
ADD $CROC TOKEN
By default, MetaMask only shows ETH/MATIC. You need to import $CROC as a custom token to see your balance.
STEPS
- Make sure you're connected to the Polygon network
- In MetaMask, scroll down and click "Import tokens"
- Select the "Custom token" tab
- Paste the contract address:
Token Contract Address:
0xda1946a7c7deb73f5a33968bacff54b0f75add6b
- MetaMask should auto-fill:
- Token symbol: CROC
- Token decimal: 18
- Click "Add custom token"
- Click "Import tokens" to confirm
Once imported, you'll see your $CROC balance in MetaMask whenever you're on the Polygon network. If you haven't received any yet, it'll show 0.
SHARE YOUR ADDRESS
When someone is ready to send you $CROC, you'll need to give them your wallet address.
- Open MetaMask
- Click on your account name at the top (shows a truncated address)
- Your full address is copied to clipboard
- Send this address to whoever is sending you $CROC
Your address looks like: 0x1234...abcd
It's safe to share—people can only send to it, not take from it.
A NOTE ON GAS
Every transaction on Polygon requires a tiny amount of POL for gas fees (usually less than $0.01). If you want to send $CROC or interact with prediction markets later, you'll need a small amount of POL in your wallet.
You can buy POL on most exchanges (Coinbase, Kraken, etc.) and send it to your Polygon address. A few dollars worth will last a long time.
YOU'RE ALL SET
Your wallet is ready. Now you just need someone to vouch for you.
