What is MetaMask Wallet?

MetaMask is a popular non-custodial cryptocurrency wallet and browser extension primarily designed for managing Ethereum-based assets (EVM compatible networks) and interacting with decentralized applications (dApps).

It enables users to securely store, send, and receive Ether (ETH) and ERC-20 tokens while maintaining full control over their private keys.

MetaMask also supports custom networks, including EVM-compatible blockchains like Binance Smart Chain, Polygon, Base, Arbitrum, and many others making it versatile for multi-chain usage.



How to Install and Set Up MetaMask

For the most up to date instructions on installing and setting up your MetaMask wallet, please review the official documentation using the guide below.

It can be convenient to pin it to your browser toolbar by clicking on the puzzle piece 🧩 icon and then the pin icon to pin it to your browser's extension bar.

If you're using a Ledger hardware wallet, it can easily integrate with MetaMask offerring the security of a hardware wallet with the functionality across multiple chains in the DeFi ecosystem.

For a detailed explanation, please see the following guides from Ledger below.

The guide above from Ledger Academy is a great resource for a deeper dive on using your Ledger to interface with MetaMask, even covering Blind Signing, which will be necessary for some DeFi applications and protocols.



📌

Non-Custodial Wallet Safety

Non-custodial wallets offer full control over your crypto but require diligent security practices to ensure your funds stay safe.

It is of paramount importance to safeguard your seed phrase, use strong passwords, avoid online storage of seed phrases or private keys, and to consider utilizing a hardware wallet for large holdings.

To learn more, please see Crypto Security Best Practices and What is a Seed Phrase?
