What is MetaMask?
Known to be a software cryptocurrency wallet, Metamask is an Ethereum web browser extension used to interact with the Ethereum blockchain. It enables investors to view and manage their Ethereum wallet using a mobile application or a browser extension, as well as interact with sites operating decentralised applications (dApps) and smart contracts.
By solely running a browser extension, you can now send and receive Ethereum-based cryptocurrencies and tokens, manage account keys and display your transactions. With this, users can do any Ethereum and DeFi-related activities without running multiple software applications at the same time.
For instance, if you want to stake your tokens for profit at Alchemix or visit OpenSea to look into newly launched non-fungible tokens (NFTs), all you have to do is connect your MetaMask wallet to start a transaction.
How does MetaMask work?
MetaMask operates by working with JavaScript, implementing a web3 object into the website youâre visiting. However, keep in mind that this does not affect the site at any rate. The wallet only adds functionality to make it easier for the users to access the Ethereum blockchain.
