What is MetaMask?

MetaMask is a cryptocurrency wallet and gateway to blockchain apps. It allows you to store, send, and receive Ethereum and other ERC-20 tokens. More importantly, it enables you to interact with decentralized applications (dApps) on the Ethereum blockchain.

With over 30 million users worldwide, MetaMask has become the most popular Ethereum wallet and the primary tool for accessing the decentralized web.

Create a New Wallet

Click "Create a Wallet" and follow the setup process. Make sure to create a strong password for your wallet.

Secure Your Seed Phrase

Write down your 12-word seed phrase and store it in a secure location. This is your backup to restore your wallet.
