THE BASICS

Your wallet for a more
open internet.

MetaMask is a self-custodial wallet and gateway to decentralized applications. Add the browser extension to manage digital assets and connect to web3 sites, while staying in control of your account.

It’s your choice when to connect, what to approve, and how to use your wallet. MetaMask never asks you to share your Secret Recovery Phrase with a website or support agent.
