What is MetaMask?

1 - What is Metamask?

MetaMask is a digital wallet that helps you store cryptocurrencies, such as BNB, securely. It’s like a wallet you keep in your pocket, but it’s on your computer or phone.

2 - What will you need?

  • A computer or mobile phone with internet access.
  • A web browser (such as Google Chrome or Firefox) or the MetaMask app.
  • Warning! Never share your password or secret words with anyone!

3 - Installing MetaMask on your Computer or Celular.

  • Visit the official MetaMask website: https://metamask.io/.
  • Be careful! Only download from the official page to avoid scams.
  • Click Download and choose the version for your browser (Chrome, Firefox, etc.).
  • Install the extension in your browser (a fox icon 🦊 will appear after you install it).

4 - Installing MetaMask on your Phone.

  • Go to the app store:
    Google Play (Android) or App Store (iPhone).

    Click on “Create a New Wallet”.
  • Choose a strong password (something only you know and will never forget!).
  • Example: “M@inh@C@rteir@123”
  • MetaMask will show you 12 secret words (also called recovery phrases).
  • These words are very important! If you lose them, you will never be able to recover your wallet.
  • Write down these secret words on a piece of paper (do not take a screenshot or save them on your phone).
  • Keep them in a safe place.

Confirming Secret Words.
