Setting Up MetaMask Extension

1. Installation:
   • Go to the MetaMask Extension and select your browser to install the extension (available for Chrome, Firefox, Brave, and Edge).
   • Follow the prompts to install the extension in your browser.
2. Creating a Wallet:
   • After installation, click on the MetaMask icon in your browser’s toolbar.
   • Choose the option to create a new wallet and follow the instructions.
   • Set up a strong password and be sure to store your seed phrase in a safe place. The seed phrase is crucial for recovering your wallet if you lose access.
3. Importing an Existing Wallet:
   • If you already have a MetaMask wallet, you can import it using your seed phrase.
4. Connecting to Networks:
   • By default, MetaMask connects to the Ethereum mainnet. However, you can switch to other networks like Ropsten, Kovan, or any custom network by selecting them from the network dropdown.
5. Adding Tokens:
   • To add custom tokens, click on the “Assets” tab, then “Import Tokens.”
   • Enter the token contract address, symbol, and decimals of precision.
6. Using dApps:
   • Many dApps have a “Connect Wallet” button. Clicking this will open MetaMask, allowing you to authorize the connection.
   • Once connected, you can interact with the dApp directly using MetaMask.
