What is MetaMask?

MetaMask is a browser plugin that functions as an Ethereum wallet, is simple to install, and doesn’t require any additional plug-ins. It’s compatible with all major browsers, including Chrome and Firefox. When it’s installed, users can view their Ethereum address and send/receive ETH or tokens to/from any other Ethereum address. By connecting to Ethereum-based dApps, users of the metamask wallet can stake their coins on gambling sites or trade them on decentralized exchanges (DEXs). MetaMask also gives users access to the DeFi ecosystem and allows them to participate in projects such as Compound and PoolTogether.

How does Metamask work?

The smart chain metamask is an API solution that acts as a seamless channel between a user and the Ethereum ecosystem. As a hot wallet, the smart chain metamask also acts as a repository for ERC tokens.

As of August 31, 2021 Consensys announced that metamask has now over 10 million active users which have shown a 19x growth from July 2020. This establishes metamask as the largest non-custodial wallet used globally.
