MetaMask has become an indispensable tool for anyone looking to interact with the Ethereum blockchain. It's not just a wallet—it's a fully-fledged browser extension that acts as a bridge between your browser and Ethereum-based decentralized applications (DApps).

Key Features of MetaMask Extension:

  • Ethereum Wallet Functionality: MetaMask allows users to manage their Ethereum and ERC-20 tokens securely.
