What is Metamask?
Metamask is a user interface between you and the blockchain. It acts as an account manager for your Ethereum account. All you need is a browser or mobile device. Metamask is available on most modern browsers, including Chrome, Brave, and Firefox, and can also be used as a mobile application on iOS and Android devices.

How to create a new wallet đź‘ť
After MetaMask is added as an extension on your browser, you can create a new wallet. MetaMask will guide you through the wallet creation process. Ensure that you safely and securely record your seed phrase, and do not share it with anyone. Remember, MetaMask, and any cryptocurrency wallet will NEVER ask you for your seed phrase. It may be a good idea to create multiple copies, but only if you are to store them safely. MetaMask will also prompt you to create a password to access your account. You must remember this password, but if you happen to forget it, you can recover your account and reset your password using your seed phrase.
