Moreover, you&#8217;ll get to look at how you can, before anything else, set up your MetaMask wallet.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MetaMask is a popular cryptocurrency wallet, used to manage <a href=\"https:\/\/metaschool.so\/blockchains\/ethereum\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ethereum<\/a> as well as Ethereum based cryptocurrencies. It\u2019s accessible and user-friendly as it is possible for you to access MetaMask on a mobile app or in the form of a browser extension.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"555\" height=\"368\" src=\"https:\/\/metaschool.so\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/metamaskfox.png\" alt=\"Metamask wallet logo\" class=\"wp-image-2788\" srcset=\"https:\/\/metaschool.so\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/metamaskfox.png 555w, https:\/\/metaschool.so\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/metamaskfox-300x199.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 555px) 100vw, 555px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>But one of the biggest reasons behind the popularity of MetaMask is that it is a safe and secure cryptocurrency wallet. What that means for you is that you can keep peace of mind while storing cryptocurrencies in MetaMask.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-cryptocurrencies-can-you-store-in-metamask\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_cryptocurrencies_can_you_store_in_MetaMask\"><\/span>What cryptocurrencies can you store in MetaMask?&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>MetaMask offers support to numerous popular tokens, and Ethereum is the most prominent one out of them. However, you can also use Ethereum based tokens. If the token is <a href=\"https:\/\/metaschool.so\/articles\/erc20-token\/\">ERC-20<\/a> compatible or <a href=\"https:\/\/metaschool.so\/articles\/erc-721-tokens\/\">ERC-721<\/a> compatible, you can add it into your MetaMask wallet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the next section, I\u2019ll share the steps you need to follow when you are setting up your MetaMask account and adding a compatible token to your MetaMask wallet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\ud83d\udc49 Check this out:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/metaschool.so\/courses\/create-erc20-token-on-starknet-in-cairo-language\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Create your first ERC-20 token in Cairo on Starknet<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-set-up-your-metamask-wallet\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_set_up_your_MetaMask_wallet\"><\/span>How to set up your MetaMask wallet<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can <a href=\"https:\/\/metaschool.so\/courses\/understand-and-setup-metamask-account?ref=Articles&amp;utm_source=Blog_Organic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">set up MetaMask wallet<\/a> as a browser extension. In case you are using Google Chrome, you need to click on three dots on the top right hand corner, click on Settings, and then select Extensions from the menu you see on your right.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, you can search for the MetaMask extension and add it. After adding the MetaMask extension, you will be able to see the icon representing it on the top right hand corner of your web browser as well. If it doesn\u2019t show, you may click on the Extensions icon, identify MetaMask and pin it to your browser for quicker access.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"397\" height=\"391\" src=\"https:\/\/metaschool.so\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Metamask-extension-1.png\" alt=\"metamask extension chrome\" class=\"wp-image-6252\" srcset=\"https:\/\/metaschool.so\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Metamask-extension-1.png 397w, https:\/\/metaschool.so\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Metamask-extension-1-300x295.png 300w, https:\/\/metaschool.so\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Metamask-extension-1-150x148.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 397px) 100vw, 397px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-add-tokens-to-metamask\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_add_tokens_to_MetaMask\"><\/span>How to add tokens to MetaMask&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking to add a token to MetaMask, look no further.
