First start off with visiting the SmartDEX (link)

Make sure to hold some Ethereum in your Metamask on the Ethereum main net besides your NIOX, USDC or Matic.

WARNING: Users with Ledger Harware wallets should not deposit funds from Ethereum to Matic. The Ledger team is working on a solution together with Matic. Until then don't deposit funds using your ledger.

Click on "Matic Bridge" to start depositing funds onto the DEX.
