Your digital wallet for the decentralized web
MetaMask is a cryptocurrency wallet and gateway to blockchain applications. Available as a browser extension and mobile app, MetaMask equips you with a key vault, secure login, token wallet, and much more—everything you need to manage your digital assets and identity. With over 30 million users worldwide, MetaMask has become the leading self-custodial wallet trusted by individuals and institutions alike.
Unlike traditional banking systems where institutions hold your assets, MetaMask gives you complete control. Your private keys—the passwords to your digital assets—are encrypted and stored only on your device. This means you, and only you, have access to your accounts and data. MetaMask doesn't have access to your private keys, ensuring true ownership and sovereignty over your digital wealth.
The wallet supports Ethereum and thousands of Ethereum-compatible networks, allowing you to interact with decentralized applications (dApps), participate in decentralized finance (DeFi), collect NFTs, play blockchain games, and much more. Whether you're swapping tokens, providing liquidity, voting on governance proposals, or minting digital art, MetaMask serves as your secure interface to the blockchain ecosystem.
MetaMask also features built-in token swapping functionality, allowing you to exchange cryptocurrencies directly within the wallet without leaving the interface. The wallet aggregates quotes from multiple decentralized exchanges to ensure you get competitive rates, making it easier than ever to manage your portfolio and execute trades efficiently.
Your private keys are encrypted and stored locally on your device, never on external servers. MetaMask uses industry-standard encryption to protect your assets and implements multiple layers of security including password protection and optional hardware wallet integration.
Connect to Ethereum mainnet, testnets, and thousands of compatible networks including Polygon, Binance Smart Chain, Avalanche, and more. Easily switch between networks to access different ecosystems and take advantage of lower fees and faster transactions.
Exchange tokens directly within MetaMask without visiting external exchanges. The swap aggregator compares prices across multiple decentralized exchanges to find you the best rates, saving you time and money on every transaction.
MetaMask doesn't collect personal information or track your activity. Your data stays private and secure. The wallet is open-source, meaning the code is publicly auditable by security experts worldwide, ensuring transparency and trust.

Your safety is our priority
Security is paramount when dealing with cryptocurrency and digital assets. MetaMask implements multiple security layers to protect your funds, but user awareness and best practices are equally important. Understanding how to use MetaMask securely can prevent the vast majority of potential issues and ensure your assets remain safe.
When you create a MetaMask wallet, you receive a Secret Recovery Phrase (also called a seed phrase) consisting of 12 random words. This phrase is the master key to your wallet and can restore access to all your accounts. Never share this phrase with anyone, including MetaMask support team members. Write it down on paper and store it in a secure location, preferably in multiple safe places. Anyone with access to your Secret Recovery Phrase has complete control over your funds.
Always verify the websites and applications you interact with. Phishing attacks are common in the cryptocurrency space, with scammers creating fake websites that look identical to legitimate services. Before connecting your wallet to any dApp, double-check the URL, look for HTTPS encryption, and verify the site's authenticity through official channels. MetaMask will warn you about potentially malicious sites, but remain vigilant.
Review transaction details carefully before confirming. MetaMask displays information about each transaction, including the recipient address, amount, and estimated gas fees. Scammers often try to trick users into approving malicious transactions that drain their wallets. Take your time to understand what you're approving, and if something seems suspicious, cancel the transaction and investigate further.
Consider using a hardware wallet for added security, especially if you hold significant value. Hardware wallets like Ledger or Trezor store your private keys on a physical device that never connects directly to the internet, providing an additional layer of protection against hackers and malware. MetaMask integrates seamlessly with popular hardware wallets, allowing you to combine convenience with maximum security.
