🔐 What is MetaMask Chrome Extension?

MetaMask is a non-custodial wallet—meaning you own your private keys and seed phrase. Unlike centralized wallets on exchanges, MetaMask keeps your keys stored locally in your browser, not on a server. This gives you full ownership and control over your digital assets.

The Chrome extension offers a user-friendly interface for:

• Sending/receiving tokens
• Swapping crypto
• Accessing decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms
• Collecting and managing NFTs
• Connecting to Web3 games and metaverse apps

🚀 Key Features

1️⃣ Easy Wallet Setup

• Create a new wallet with a strong password
• Receive your 12-word Secret Recovery Phrase
• Backup your phrase securely (offline) — this is your only way to restore your wallet

2️⃣ Multi-Asset Support

• Native support for ETH and ERC-20 tokens
• Add any custom token using the contract address
• Compatible with ERC-721 & ERC-1155 NFTs

3️⃣ Built-in Token Swap

Swap tokens directly within the extension using price aggregators for best rates. Compare quotes from Uniswap, 1inch, and others — no need to visit external DEXs.

4️⃣ Multi-Network Compatibility

Supports Ethereum by default, but you can manually add:

• BNB Smart Chain (BSC)
• Polygon (MATIC)
• Avalanche (AVAX)
•  Arbitrum, Optimism, and other EVM-compatible chains
