Secure, easy-to-use cryptocurrency wallet for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Brave
MetaMask is a popular cryptocurrency wallet and gateway to blockchain applications. Available as a browser extension, it allows users to interact securely with Ethereum and other compatible blockchains directly from Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Brave browsers.
MetaMask simplifies crypto management by combining a wallet, key manager, and web3 provider in one extension. Users can send, receive, and store cryptocurrencies, interact with decentralized applications (dApps), and manage multiple accounts—all without leaving their browser.
The extension is suitable for beginners, developers, and experienced users seeking a secure, browser-based solution for cryptocurrency management and blockchain interactions.
