What is MetaMask wallet?

Your Gateway to Ethereum, dApps, and the Web3 Ecosystem

MetaMask has become one of the most widely used wallets in the crypto world — and for good reason. As both a browser extension and mobile app, MetaMask enables users to securely manage Ethereum-based assets and interact with decentralized applications (dApps) — all from their preferred device.

Originally launched in 2016 by developers Dan Finlay and Aaron Davis, MetaMask has grown in step with Ethereum’s rise, empowering millions of users to explore DeFi, NFTs, and the broader Web3 ecosystem.

What Is MetaMask Used For?

MetaMask isn’t just a wallet — it’s a full-fledged Web3 access point. With MetaMask, users can:

  • Store, send, and receive ETH and ERC-based tokens

  • Browse and interact with Ethereum dApps

  • Collect and manage NFTs

  • Buy crypto directly within the wallet

  • Swap tokens with built-in exchange features

Whether you’re minting NFTs on OpenSea, providing liquidity on Uniswap, or signing into your favorite Web3 social platform, MetaMask acts as your secure digital passport.

Custodial vs. Non-Custodial: What Kind of Wallet Is MetaMask?

MetaMask is a non-custodial wallet, meaning you control your keys and assets. Unlike custodial wallets managed by third parties (like centralized exchanges), MetaMask puts you in charge. You are the only one with access to your wallet's private key or recovery phrase.

Analogy:

  • Custodial wallet = valuables stored in a bank vault (accessible via the bank)

  • Non-custodial wallet = valuables stored in your personal safe (you control the key)

While this offers greater freedom and security, it also requires more responsibility. Lose your recovery phrase, and there's typically no way to retrieve access.
