Metamask Wallet 🦊
🤔 What is MetaMask ?
☞ MetaMask is one of the most used wallets on the Ethereum blockchain.
☞ It not only serves to store and manage your Ethereum and other ERC-20 crypto, but it also allows you to buy and sell NFTs (on Opensea for example). All your purchased NFTs are stored in your wallet.
☞ It is also your identifier when you connect to a website3.
🤔 How to use MetaMask ?
☞ First download MetaMask (on your computer) from metamask.io choose your browser (Chrome, Firefox, Brave, Edge).
☞ Download MetaMask also on your phone (ios/android).
☞ Follow the steps described and, above all, write your “seed phrase” somewhere (offline).
⚠️ The recovery phrase “seed phrase” is essential to access your wallet . And if you lose your seed phrase, your wallet access is lost forever.
“seed phrase”: This is a sequence of words that is the code for a longer string of numbers, and only YOU know what they are.
You don't create the word sequence. It's usually between 10 and 24 words (in a specific order) that are assigned to you when you create a brand new wallet.
🤫 It is essential that this phrase remains secret .
Once someone else knows your recovery phrase, you cannot cancel it.
They now have access to your digital assets and they have probably already been stolen.
🔐 For your safety :
☞ Do not store your “seed phrase” online or anywhere on your phone.
☞ The more the phrase is displayed or saved on a screen, the easier it is for someone to find it. Don't take a picture. Don't put it in Google Docs or similar. Don't save it in a password manager.
☞ Never, ever give the phrase to anyone. The only time you should need to see your seed phrase is when it is generated for a new wallet or if you need to recover your existing wallet. No one will need to ask for your phrase at any time. If they do, it is a scam.
