Connect Wallet MetaMask

MetaMask lets you create and manage your own identities (via private keys, local client wallet and hardware wallets like Trezor™). When a Dapp wants to perform a transaction and write to the blockchain, you get a secure interface to review that transaction before approving or rejecting it.

What is Metamask?

Metamask is a cryptocurrency wallet and gateway to blockchain applications available as a browser extension for Chrome, Firefox, and other compatible browsers. Developed initially as a simple Ethereum wallet, Metamask has evolved into a versatile tool that allows users to manage their Ethereum assets, interact with decentralized applications (dApps), and participate in blockchain-based protocols and smart contracts.
