Metamask® Extension

Available as a browser extension and as a mobile app, MetaMask equips you with a key vault, secure login, token wallet, and token exchange—everything you need to manage …

• Digital Wallet:

  • MetaMask functions as a digital wallet, allowing users to store, send, and receive Ethereum and other ERC-20 tokens.

  • Users can import existing wallets or create new ones directly within the extension.

• Browser Compatibility:

  • While it originated as a Chrome extension, MetaMask has expanded its support to other popular browsers, providing users with flexibility in their choice of browsers.

• Decentralized Applications (DApps):

  • MetaMask enables users to interact with decentralized applications seamlessly. Many blockchain-based applications, particularly those built on Ethereum, require MetaMask for users to connect their wallets and engage with the application.

• Security Features:

  • MetaMask is designed with security in mind. Private keys are stored locally on users' devices, and the extension includes features like password protection to enhance security.

• Network Management:

  • Users can easily switch between Ethereum's mainnet and various testnets (Ropsten, Rinkeby, Kovan, etc.) to test and interact with DApps in a sandbox environment.

• Token Swapping and Trading:

  • MetaMask facilitates token swapping through decentralized exchanges (DEX) directly within the extension, allowing users to trade different cryptocurrencies without leaving the wallet interface.

• Open Source:

  • MetaMask is an open-source project, meaning that its source code is publicly available. This transparency allows the community to review and contribute to its development.

• Community and Updates:

  • MetaMask has an active community, and the development team regularly releases updates to enhance security, add new features, and improve the overall user experience.
