Search for the Polygon network you want to add to your wallet, and click the **Connect Wallet** button. More information and an example of adding a mainnet or testnet Polygon chain using Chainlist MetaMask wallet can be found [here](../wallets/metamask/add-polygon-network.md).

## Key management strategy
97-
98-
The following basic steps allow for the integration of a client-side application with Polygon:
99-
100-
1. **Set up Web3**: [web3.js](https://web3js.readthedocs.io/) is a javascript library that
101-
allows a client-side application to talk to the blockchain. We configure web3.js to communicate
102-
via a developer-based wallet like MetaMask. Use the [web3.js docs](https://web3js.readthedocs.io/en/v1.2.2/getting-started.html#adding-web3-js) to learn about adding `web3.js` to your project.
103-
2. **Set up an account**: You will be able to send transactions (specifically those that alter the
104-
state of the blockchain).
105-
3. **Instantiate contracts**: Once a web3 object is in place, we next instantiate our deployed contract,
106-
with which we interact.
107-
4. **Call functions**: Fetch data via functions in the contract through our contract object.
