Metamask® % Extension - Browser extension - GitBook

MetaMask is an extension for accessing Ethereum enabled distributed applications, or "Dapps" in your normal Chrome browser! The extension injects the Ethereum web3 API into every website's javascript.

Cryptocurrency Wallet: MetaMask serves as a digital wallet for managing Ethereum (ETH) and Ethereum-based tokens. Users can send, receive, and store their digital assets securely within the extension.

Easy Access to dApps: MetaMask provides a seamless way to interact with decentralized applications (dApps) on the Ethereum network. Users can access various dApps directly from their browsers, eliminating the need to create separate accounts or wallets for each application.

Security: MetaMask offers robust security features, including password protection, the option to set up a mobile authentication app (2FA), and the ability to create a secure backup with a recovery seed phrase.
