🦊MetaMask Install/Import

Installing and setting up MetaMask

šŸ“ First, you’ll want to head over to the MetaMask Download page.

Select your favourite browser and follow the steps to install it on your device. There's also a Mobile MetaMask wallet available (iOS and Android). This guide will focus on the Desktop browser extension wallet. After you have followed the instructions on how to install, go on to create a new wallet. Write down the backup seed phrase, and store it in a secret place (it's not recommended not to store it on an Internet-connected device for security reasons). Without the seed phrase, your funds can’t be recovered if your device is damaged or lost. MetaMask will ask you to confirm the seed phrase before you can continue.

You can now send an receive funds on the Ethereum blockchain. Next step is setting up Binance Smart Chain.
