ERC-20 tokens are Ethereum-compatible standard tokens. There are many kinds of wallets (e.g. paper wallets, hardware wallets, software wallets, custodial wallets), each with its own advantages and disadvantages. There is a tradeoff between security and convenience. We encourage you to search around and read about wallets to understand the options.

Our current web browsers (web 2.0 as it’s called) are not build to interface with distributed databases. This is why MetaMask is needed, as it allows modern web browsers to interface with the Ethereum blockchain. **Why is Metamask required?** - The unique part about MetaMask is that it serves a dual purpose as an ERC-20 wallet and a Web 3.0 browser. For users, it works as an Ethereum wallet, allowing them to store and send any ERC-20 tokens. For developers, it allows you to design and run Ethereum DApps right in your browser without running a full Ethereum node. MetaMask talks to the Ethereum blockchain for you. -**Setup Instructions for Metamask** -1.
