MetaMask Configuration
HFund Integration version Coming Soon! (Demo Purposes)
Setting Up MetaMask Wallet
MetaMask is a web browser-based wallet that also functions as an Ethereum gateway. Itβs a plugin you can add to your browser to interact with the Ethereum blockchain, enabling you to send and receive Ethereum and ERC-20 tokens directly on the web.
Step 1: Download and Install MetaMask
Visit the official MetaMask website at https://metamask.io. Be sure to verify that you are on the correct website to avoid phishing scams.
Click on the 'Download' button. MetaMask is available as an extension for Chrome, Firefox, and Brave browsers. You can also download it as an app for iOS or Android.
Click 'Install MetaMask for Chrome' or the equivalent option for your browser.
Follow the prompts to add the MetaMask extension to your browser.
Step 2: Set Up Your Wallet
Once the extension is added, you'll see the MetaMask fox icon in your browserβs toolbar. Click the icon to open MetaMask.
Click 'Get Started' to begin the setup process.
Click 'Create a Wallet'.
You'll be asked if you want to help improve MetaMask. Choose 'No Thanks' or 'I Agree' as per your preference.
Set a strong, unique password and click 'Create'. Make sure to remember this password, as you'll need it to log into MetaMask.
Step 3: Secure Your Wallet
MetaMask will now show you your secret backup phrase. This is a series of 12 words that can be used to recover your wallet if you forget your password. Write it down and store it in a safe place. Never share this phrase with anyone.
After you've securely stored your backup phrase, click 'Next'.
You'll be asked to confirm your secret backup phrase. Click on the words in the correct order and click 'Confirm'.
If you've correctly entered your backup phrase, you'll see a message that your wallet is now backed up. Click 'All Done'.
Congratulations, you've successfully set up your MetaMask wallet! You can now start interacting with the Ethereum blockchain. To connect with HFund, navigate to our platform and click 'Connect Wallet', then follow the prompts to connect your MetaMask wallet.
Remember, your wallet is only as secure as your backup phrase and password. Never share these with anyone and keep them stored in a safe, secure location. Always double-check the website addresses before entering your wallet information. Stay safe and happy investing!
