Metamask® Extension® - Browser extension for chrome

Getting started with MetaMask is an essential step to access its features and interact with the Ethereum blockchain and decentralized applications (dApps). MetaMask is a cryptocurrency wallet and browser extension that allows you to securely manage your Ethereum-based assets directly from your web browser. Below is a step-by-step guide to help you get started with MetaMask:

Step 1: Install MetaMask Extension

The first step is to install the MetaMask extension in your preferred web browser. MetaMask is compatible with major browsers like Chrome, Firefox, and Brave. To install it, visit the official MetaMask website or go to the respective extension store for your browser. Click on the "Add to Chrome" (or the relevant browser) button to install the extension.

Step 2: Launch MetaMask

After the installation, you should see the MetaMask fox icon in your browser's extensions area. Click on the icon to launch MetaMask.

Step 3: Create a New Wallet or Import an Existing One

If you are a new user, you'll be prompted to create a new wallet. Click on the "Get Started" button, and then choose "Create a Wallet." Follow the instructions to set up your new wallet. During this process, MetaMask will generate a unique 12-word seed phrase for you. Make sure to write down the seed phrase and keep it in a safe place. This seed phrase is essential for wallet recovery, so keep it private and never share it with anyone.

If you already have an existing MetaMask wallet and want to access it on a new device or browser, click on the "Import Wallet" option. Enter your 12-word seed phrase to restore your existing account.
