MetaMask is a non-custodial wallet and Web3 gateway for Ethereum and EVM-compatible networks.
MetaMask lets you create and manage wallets, sign transactions, and connect to decentralized applications (dApps). Your private keys and seed phrase remain under your control on your device.
To restore a wallet, choose Import Wallet and enter your 12-word seed phrase. Never share your seed phrase or private keys.
When a dApp requests connection, MetaMask displays a permission prompt listing accounts and requested permissions. Confirm only trusted dApps and review the actions requested (sign messages, approve transactions).
Q: Does MetaMask store my funds?
A: No — MetaMask is non-custodial; it stores keys locally. Funds remain on the blockchain.
Q: Can I use MetaMask with hardware wallets?
A: Yes — MetaMask supports Ledger and Trezor via the Connect Hardware Wallet option.
