We are thrilled to announce that MyEtherWallet now supports Polygon.
MyEtherWallet is a free, open-source, and secure platform for interacting with the Ethereum ecosystem. By adding support to Polygon, MyEtherWallet intends to make the transactions done by its users faster and gas-free.
Recently, MyEtherWallet rolled out a Version 6 upgrade to make the platform more efficient for its users. With Polygon’s full-stack ethereum scaling solution, MyEtherWallet can provide a seamless user experience in addition to its multiple UI upgrades.
Moreover, Polygon has been the place for many of the DeFi blue-chip projects because of the high-speed & low-gas infrastructure. Users can switch to Polygon on their wallets, quickly swap tokens, and perform transactions quickly on the Platform.
The support from MyEtherWallet to Polygon is a huge step forward for the Ethereum ecosystem, and it will increase user adoption within the crypto ecosystem.

Check gh-pages files against live website at //www.myetherwallet.com In case you are not familiar, you need
to keep the entire folder in order to run the website, not just index.html. Don't touch or move anything around in the folder. If you are storing a backup of the MyEtherWallet repo for the future, we recommend just storing the ZIP so you can be sure the folder contents stay intact. As we are constantly updating MyEtherWallet.com, we recommend you periodically update your saved version of the repo. If you want to help contribute,
here's what you need to know to get it up and running and compiling. Getting Started Folder

Developers
app
folder. Don't touch the dist
or chrome-extension
folders.npm install
.npm run dev
. Gulp will then watch & compile everything and then watch for changes to the HTML, JS, or CSS.npm run dist
.fonts
and images
get moved into their respective folders. This isn't watched via gulp so if you add an image or font, you need to run gulp
again.includes
are the pieces of the pages / the pages themselves. These are pretty self-explanatory and where you will make most frontend changes.layouts
are the pages themselves. These basically take all the pieces of the pages and compile
into one massive page. The navigation is also found here...sort of.index.html
is for MyEtherWallet.com.cx-wallet.html
is the main page for the Chrome Extension.embedded.html
is for //www.myetherwallet.com/embedded.html.@@if [site === 'cx' ] { ... }
and @@if [site === 'mew' ] { ... }
. Check out
sendTransaction.tpl
to see it in action. The former will only compile for the Chrome Extension. The latter only to MyEtherWallet.com.embedded.html
is for embedding the wallet generation into third-party sites. Read more about it and how to listen for the address generated here.scripts/directives/walletDecryptDrtv.js
. These show up on a lot of pages.
The navigation is in scripts/services/globalServices.js
. Again, we control which navigation items show up in which version of the site in this single file.
As of September 2016, almost all the copy in the .tpl files are only there as placeholders. It all gets replaced via angular-translate. If you want to change some copy you need to do so in scripts/translations/en.js
folder. You should also make a note about what you changed
and move it to the top of the file so that we can make sure it gets translated if necessary.
styles
is all the less. It's a couple custom folders and bootstrap. This badly needs to be redone. Ugh.

How to Help Translate
A couple of notes:
- Everything on the entire site is broken down into lines and in this one file. The uppermost items are the highest priority and the further you go down, the less of a priority it is.
- You can add comments anywhere by wrapping it in /* Your Comment Here */. If you want to leave a note for yourself or someone else, do so in this format. That way it doesn't screw up the code or show up somewhere on the site.
- Don't delete any lines. Just leave it in English if you don't know how to translate it.
- Always make sure each line ends with
',
. So the format isNAME: ' your text here ',
You only need to change theyour text here
part - try not to touch anything else.
If you are NOT a developer and have no idea how this works:
Anyone can help out and it looks way more complicated than it is! If you would rather not deal with Github, please send us an email to and I'll email you the file and you can make changes and send it back to us and I'll make sure you don't screw anything up. If you feel like experiencing something new, read on!
- Sign into your Github account or make a new Github account.
- Go to //github.com/kvhnuke/etherwallet/tree/mercury/app/scripts/translations
- Click on the language file you want to update.
- Look in the upper right. Click the pencil icon. This will then tell you, "You’re editing a file in a project you don’t have write access to. We’ve created a fork of this project for you to commit your proposed changes to. Submitting a change to this file will write it to a new branch in your fork, so you can send a pull request." Ignore it all.
- In your browser, start translating. Translate as little or as much as you want.
- Scroll down to halfway to the translator's section. Enter your name/username, donation address, and any comments you would like to leave.
- When you are done, tell us what language you updated. You can also leave any notes about problems you had or things you'd like us to know.
- Click the green "Propose File change" button.
- This next page is a review of what you did.
- Click the "Create Pull Request" button.....twice. Screenshot.
- That's it. You successfully made a new pull request! Tell all your friends.
- We will now review it and pull it in and it will be made live on the site. We may also ask you questions if something is confusing for whatever reason.
If you are a developer and familiar with GitHub, Pull Requests, and know how to save a JS file as a .js file rather than a Word Doc:
- Clone the mercury branch.
- Go to
/app/scripts/translations/
. - Open the language you want to translate.
- Translate as much or as little as you wish.
- Add your name/username, donation address, and any notes you would like on in the translator's section, about halfway down.
- Open a PR and leave us a brief description of what you did and any issues you ran into or comments you have.
