Metamask is a cryptocurrency wallet and gateway to decentralized applications (dApps) built on the Ethereum blockchain. It allows users to manage their Ethereum assets, interact with dApps, and securely store their private keys. Essentially, Metamask serves as a bridge between your Chrome browser and the Ethereum blockchain, enabling you to access Ethereum-powered services directly from your browser.

Why Use Metamask?

• Convenience: With Metamask, you can access your Ethereum wallet directly from your Chrome browser without the need to download or install any additional software.

• Security: Metamask encrypts your private keys and stores them locally on your device, ensuring that only you have access to your funds.

• Interoperability: Metamask seamlessly integrates with a wide range of dApps, allowing you to interact with decentralized applications directly from your browser.
