Is MetaMask free to install? +

The wallet extension is free to download from MetaMask’s official website and the Chrome Web Store. Some blockchain transactions and third-party services may involve fees.

Does MetaMask hold my recovery phrase? +

No. MetaMask is a self-custody wallet. Your Secret Recovery Phrase gives access to your wallet, so protect it carefully and never share it with anyone.

Can I use MetaMask with every website? +

Only connect to dapps and websites you trust. A connection does not mean a site is safe, and you should carefully review any signature or transaction request before approving it.

Where can I get help? +

Use the official MetaMask Support Center. Be cautious of unsolicited support messages and never give anyone your recovery phrase.
