Getting started with MetaMask

What is MetaMask?

Public blockchains like Ethereum are the next evolution of Internet databases, and MetaMask is the next evolution of the browser.

MetaMask is a web browser extension and mobile app that allows you to manage your Ethereum private keys. By doing so, it serves as a wallet for Ether and other tokens, and allows you to interact with decentralized applications, or dapps. Unlike some wallets, MetaMask keeps no information on you: not your email address, not your password, and not your Secret Recovery Phrase or other private keys. You retain all power over your crypto-identity.
