Create a Metamask wallet

MetaMask is a type of Ethereum wallet that bridges the gap between the user interfaces for Ethereum (For example, Mist browsers, DApps) and the regular web (For example, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, websites). Its function is to inject a JavaScript library called web3.js into the namespace of each page your browser loads. Web3.js is written by the Ethereum core team. MetaMask is mainly used as a plugin in the web browser.

Let’s walk through the steps to install it on Google Chrome.

📌 Note: Metamask supports several web browsers. Kindly choose any browsers to your preference.
