The MetaMask Browser Extension is your essential passport to the world of Web3, Ethereum, and thousands of other blockchains. Install it to manage cryptocurrencies, interact with decentralized applications (dApps), and take full control of your digital assets, all directly from your favorite browser like Chrome, Firefox, Brave, or Edge.
MetaMask is more than just a wallet; it's a tool that lets you:
Securely store Ethereum (ETH) and other digital assets (ERC-20 tokens & NFTs).
Seamlessly connect to thousands of decentralized applications (dApps) for DeFi, NFTs, gaming, and more.
Send and receive crypto with anyone, anywhere.
Swap tokens directly within the wallet to find the best rates across leading DEXs.
It is a self-custody wallet, meaning you—and only you—have control of your private keys and funds.
The extension automatically detects Web3 sites. With a single click on "Connect Wallet," you can interact with the entire ecosystem of decentralized finance (DeFi), metaverses, and NFT marketplaces without creating new accounts.
While built for Ethereum, MetaMask supports hundreds of other Ethereum-compatible networks and layer 2s, including:
Polygon (MATIC)
Binance Smart Chain (BNB)
Arbitrum (ARB)
Optimism (OP)
Avalanche (AVAX)
