> Key Steps for Setting Up Metamask Extension

 1. Install Metamask Extension: Visit the Chrome Web Store, Firefox Add-ons, or
    the official Metamask website to download and install the Metamask Extension
    for your preferred web browser.
 2. Create a New Wallet or Import an Existing One:
    * If you're new to Metamask, click on "Get Started" and follow the prompts
      to create a new wallet. Choose a strong password and securely store your
      secret backup phrase (seed phrase).
    * If you already have a Metamask wallet or a secret backup phrase from
      another wallet, click on "Import Wallet" and enter your 12-word seed
      phrase to import your existing wallet.
 3. Secure Your Wallet:
    * After creating or importing your wallet, set up additional security
      measures such as a password, biometric authentication (if available), and
      two-factor authentication (2FA) for added protection.
 4. Explore the Interface:
    * Familiarize yourself with the Metamask Extension interface. You'll see
      your Ethereum address, balance, and options to send and receive Ether
      (ETH) and ERC-20 tokens.
    * You can also switch between Ethereum's mainnet and various testnets (such
      as Ropsten, Kovan, and Rinkeby) using the network selector dropdown.
 5. Backup Your Seed Phrase:
    * Your secret backup phrase (seed phrase) is the most critical piece of
      information for accessing your wallet. Write it down on a piece of paper
      and store it securely offline. Never share it with anyone or store it
      digitally.
 6. Explore Additional Features:
    * Metamask Extension offers additional features such as browser-based access
      to decentralized applications (dApps), decentralized exchange (DEX)
      integration, and support for Ethereum Name Service (ENS) domains. Explore
      these features to maximize your experience with Metamask.
 7. Stay Informed and Secure:
    * Keep your Metamask Extension and web browser up to date to ensure you have
      the latest security patches and features.
    * Be cautious of phishing attempts and always verify the authenticity of
      websites and transactions before interacting with them through Metamask.
