. View Your Assets
After logging in, you will be taken to the main dashboard. Here, you can view your Ethereum balance and any ERC-20 tokens you have added to your Metamask Extension. The dashboard provides a clear overview of your holdings, allowing for easy asset management.
. Send and Receive Cryptocurrency
To send cryptocurrency, click the "Send" button. Enter the recipient’s address, specify the amount, and confirm the transaction. To receive cryptocurrency, click the "Receive" button. This will display your wallet address, which you can share with the sender.
. Interact with dApps
MetaMask enables direct interaction with decentralized applications from your browser or mobile device. Explore dApps using dApp browsers like Dapp Radar or those listed within the MetaMask interface. This feature allows you to participate in decentralized finance (DeFi), games, marketplaces, and more.
. Swap Tokens
MetaMask includes a built-in feature to swap tokens directly within your wallet. Select the tokens you want to swap, review the conversion rate, and confirm the transaction. This functionality provides a convenient way to exchange tokens without leaving the MetaMask interface.
. Secure Your Seed Phrase
Never share your seed phrase with anyone. Store it offline in a secure location such as a safe or a secure password manager. This step is essential to maintaining the security of your wallet.
. Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
For an added layer of security, enable two-factor authentication (2FA) in MetaMask. 2FA helps protect your account from unauthorized access by requiring a second form of verification.
. Regularly Update MetaMask
Keep your MetaMask extension or app updated to the latest version. Updates often include security enhancements and new features that help keep your wallet secure and functional.
. Beware of Phishing Attacks
Always double-check URLs to ensure you are visiting the official MetaMask website or dApps. Be cautious of phishing attempts. Never enter your seed phrase on any website or app other than MetaMask.
