MetaMask is a cryptocurrency wallet that provides access to decentralized applications (DApps) built on the Ethereum blockchain. It serves as a browser extension for Chrome, Firefox, Opera, or a mobile app. Users can manage their Ethereum addresses and interact with various smart contracts and decentralized applications on the Ethereum blockchain. MetaMask also facilitates the convenient storage, sending, and receiving of Ethereum (ETH) and ERC-20 tokens.
SecurityMetaMask wallet offers several layers of protection to ensure the security of users' cryptocurrency assets.
Private keys are stored locally on the user's device, preventing external access and minimizing the risks of remote attacks.
Access to the wallet requires a password that encrypts and secures the wallet data from unauthorized access.
MetaMask provides a unique recovery phrase (seed phrase) consisting of 12 random words, used to regain access to the wallet in case of device loss or forgotten password.
MetaMask allows the connection of hardware wallets, such as Ledger or Trezor, to enhance the security level and store private keys in isolated devices.
MetaMask developers consistently update security systems to address vulnerabilities and enhance the overall platform security.
