Metamask Extension - The crypto wallet for NFTs ?

Metamask Extension is a browser plugin that serves as an Ethereum wallet, and is installed like any other browser plugin. Once it's installed, it allows users to store Ether and other ERC-20 tokens, enabling them to transact with any Ethereum address. To use MetaMask, you will need either Chrome, a Chromium-based browser such as Brave, or Firefox. By connecting to MetaMask to Ethereum-based dapps, users can spend their coins in games, stake tokens in gambling applications, and trade them on decentralized exchanges (DEXs). It also provides users with an entry point into the emerging world of decentralized finance, or DeFi, providing a way to access DeFi apps such as Compound and Metamask Sign in.


As you may know, the MetaMask Wallet service was initially launched as a web browser extension, and therefore was known to be compatible with the four exclusive browser variants – Chrome, Brave, Firefox, and Edge. That is still the case but the brand has additionally launched its own mobile application service that supports both Android and iOS devices. However, if we talk about the browsers, Chrome is reported to be the most used variant for installing the extension and benefiting from it. Therefore, enlisted are the steps you’d have to follow to access the MetaMask extension on Chrome:

  1. The first steps of the process involve you getting into https://metamask.io/.

  2. On reaching the official web link for the wallet, we’d like you to head for “Download” or “Download Now” (if that’s what your browser displays).
  3. This will take you to the download page where you have options for browsers and mobile apps.
  4. Choose the icon that is placed on the page for the most used Chrome browser.
  5. When you land on the Chrome web store for MetaMask sign in, hit “Add to Chrome” and confirm with “Add Extension”.
