WHAT IS A METAMASK WALLET?

MetaMask Wallet is primarily a cryptocurrency wallet based on the Ethereum blockchain. It is one of the safest and widely used crypto wallets. With over a million users worldwide, it has become a leading cryptocurrency wallet in the market.

In this article, we will list down the steps to install metamask wallet as a browser extension and as a mobile app.

MetaMask displays standard ETH and ETH-based tokens. You can manually add other chain of tokens (BSC, Avalanche, Polygon, etcetera) to your MetaMask wallet to invest, trade, play games, own unique digital items (like NFT collectibles) etcetera.

STEPS TO INSTALL METAMASK WALLET AS A BROWSER EXTENSION

You can install MetaMask wallet as a web browser extension on Chrome, Firefox, Brave, and Edge. We are using Google chrome for the tutorial; the same steps can be used to install metamask wallet as an extension for other browsers as well.

To install the Metamask wallet in the Chrome web browser, you can either go to Chrome Webstore and search for the Metamask extension or click here. Click on “Add to Chrome”.

Or you can also go to the MetaMask website here. Click on “Download Now”.

Select “Install MetaMask for Chrome”.

After the completion of installation, the MetaMask icon i.e., orange fox face will appear on the top right corner of your chrome browser.

Click on the MetaMask icon and click on “I Agree” appearing at the bottom to agree to the ‘terms and conditions’ of use.

Create a strong password, type and re-type it in “New password” and “Confirm Password” respectively. Click on “Create” to create a new Ethereum account.

Or if you already have an account you can click on “Import Existing DEN”.

Now you will be given a unique 12-word Secret Recovery Phrase that will serve as a master password to access or restore your MetaMask account in case you forget the password.

MetaMask will not allow you to access the account if you don’t have the password so, you are advised to store this 12-word secret recovery phrase in a safe place. Noting down in your diary and storing it in USB is recommended.

Select “I’ve copied it somewhere safe” or “Save seed words as file” and you are done. Your MetaMask wallet is all set to use.
Confirm your secret backup phrase and Proceed ahead.

Congratulations, your new crypto wallet from Metamask is now installed.

You can find your MetaMask address by clicking on three dots and click “Copy” address to the clipboard.
