Metamask Browser Extension - Taking Defi Mainstream
Extensions are an incredible way of modifying or adding functionality to existing browsers. Crypto wallets, be it software or hardware, are used to manage and store cryptocurrencies in a secure manner. MetaMask was initially launched for mobile devices in the form of an app by ConsenSys in the year 2016. This wallet was majorly designed to support the trading activities taking place on Ethereum and it supports ERC-20 and other ETH tokens. Later on, after analyzing the need of the investors to manage their funds through a computer device, extensions were launched. To eliminate the limitation for the investors to pick a compatible MetaMask extension for their crypto-relating operations, the team of developers decided to add a few browsers in the form of extensions from which the crypto investors can choose the one that they found suitable. To name the extension launched that supports the working of this wallet is Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Brave, and Opera.
However, from the offered options of the MetaMask extension, the one which is highly used by people across the globe is the MetaMask Chrome extension. To get a legitimate version of this or any other extension supported by MetaMask, the safest and the most authentic platform for initiating the installation process is the official website of MetaMask. After installing the selected extension, you can either import your existing wallet (in case you already have one) or create a new one (if you don’t have one) and after that, you can easily start operating activities through the installed extension securely and conveniently.
MetaMask extensions are also praised for widening the pathways through which users/investors can explore several dApps, interact with them, and integrate with smart contracts for uplifting and giving a new direction to their crypto trade and investment journey.
