Set Up MetaMask Tutorial about how to set up MetaMask for Chrome.

What is MetaMask?

MetaMask is a browser extension that can:

  • be used as a wallet for Ether and ERC-20 tokens (such as Ocean tokens),
  • connect to TREZOR and Ledger hardware wallets,
  • be used to send Ether and ERC-20 tokens (i.e. to create, sign, and send Ethereum transactions).

How to Set Up MetaMask for Chrome

Note: MetaMask can also be used with a TREZOR or Ledger hardware wallet but we don't cover that option below; see the MetaMask documentation.

  1. Go to the Chrome Web Store for extensions and search for MetaMask.

  2. Install MetaMask. It will get added as a browser extension in the top right corner of your browser. Read through and accept the terms and conditions. Create a username and password in the next step.

  3. MetaMask will generate a secret backup phrase for you. Write it down, store it in a safe place, and click next.

  4. Confirm your secret backup phrase and finish your MetaMask wallet setup.

  5. Voila! Your account is now created. You can now manage Ether and Ocean Tokens with your wallet. You can copy your account address to clipboard from the options. When you want someone to send Ether or Ocean Tokens to you, you will have to give them that address. It's not a secret.
