Access the Desired Website
Navigate to the website you wish to connect your MetaMask wallet to. Many websites that require blockchain interaction will prompt you to connect your wallet.
Connect MetaMask to the Website
On the website, look for a “Connect Wallet” button. Click on it. A MetaMask notification will pop up, asking for your permission to connect. Review the details and click “Connect” to link your wallet.
Confirm Connection
Once connected, you will see a confirmation message. The website can now interact with your MetaMask wallet, allowing you to perform various blockchain operations.
Secure Your Wallet
Always ensure you are connecting to trusted websites. Keep your wallet information private and never share your seed phrase. Regularly update your MetaMask Wallet Extension to benefit from the latest security features.
Disconnecting MetaMask
If you wish to disconnect your wallet, open the MetaMask extension, click on the three dots next to the website's name, and select “Disconnect.” This ensures your wallet remains secure when not in use.
