MetaMask® Wallet: Your Gateway to Ethereum & Web3

MetaMask® Wallet is the world’s most popular non-custodial cryptocurrency wallet, empowering users to securely store, manage, and interact with Ethereum and EVM-compatible blockchains. Available as a browser extension (Chrome, Firefox, Brave, Edge) and mobile app (iOS/Android), MetaMask® is the go-to solution for DeFi, NFTs, and decentralized applications (dApps).

What is MetaMask® Wallet?

MetaMask® is a self-custody wallet, meaning you control your private keys—not a centralized exchange. Key features include: ✔ Store Ethereum (ETH) and ERC-20 tokens ✔ Connect to 5,000+ dApps (Uniswap, OpenSea, Aave, etc.) ✔ Swap tokens directly in the wallet ✔ Support for multiple blockchains (BSC, Polygon, Avalanche, etc.)

Unlike exchange wallets, MetaMask® never holds your funds—you remain in full control.
