MetaMask is an Ethereum extension for your browser. It connects you to Ethereum applications (called dApps) easily and securely. MetaMask is also a digital wallet: you can store digital currencies in it and use it to buy…an album for instance!
To get started, all you need to do is install a Chrome extension. This three minute guide will show you how to do that.
Step 1: Click here to go to the Chrome Webstore and add the MetaMask plugin.
Step 2: Click “Add Extension” to confirm and MetaMask will be added.
Step 3: Read the privacy notice and click ‘Accept’.
Step 4: Scroll down the Terms of Use and click ‘Accept’ (the “Accept” button will only activate if you scroll the contract all the way down).
Step 5: Create your password. Make sure it’s secure!
Step 6: MetaMask will now give you a ‘seed phrase’ that we advise you to keep somewhere safe where you are sure to find it (and no one else).
Step 7: Congratulations! You now have your first Ethereum account :)

Once you’re done, you’ll officially be a pioneer in blockchain enabled music :)
