Step 6: After transaction confirmation, the tokens will make their way onto Moonbeam through Meterโ€™s bridge.
The process requires 25 block confirmations for the bridge deposit transaction on the Ethereum side, which may take 6 to 10 minutes. You can read all about it on Meterโ€™s documentation.
Step 7: Configure Moonbeam network on your metamask.
If you havenโ€™t configured the Moonbeam network in your Metamask, please do so by using Moonbeamsโ€™ documentation:
Head to https://docs.moonbeam.network/tokens/connect/metamask/ and click โ€œConnect to Moonbeamโ€. Youโ€™ll be prompted with the following Metamask popups:

Copy and paste the Moonbeam POLK token smart contract address into the Token Contract Address field, as shown above. Click Next.
Youโ€™re all set and your POLK is ready to use in Moonbeam ๐ŸŽ‰
Youโ€™ll be able to bridge your POLK back to Ethereum Mainnet using the same exact process. Just switch the โ€œFromโ€ and โ€œToโ€ networks on Meter and repeat the steps above. The same applies with Moonriver, you can bridge your POLK tokens between Moonriver and Moonbeam, at a lower cost than the Ethereum bridge.
