what's metamask?

MetaMask is a leading self-custodial cryptocurrency wallet designed for interacting with the Ethereum blockchain and other EVM-compatible networks. It serves as a browser extension and mobile app, enabling users to securely store, manage, and transact with ETH, ERC-20 tokens, and NFTs. Key features include seamless dApp connectivity, built-in token swaps via integrated DEX aggregators, staking support for ETH through protocols like Lido and Rocket Pool, and bridging assets across chains. Recently, MetaMask has expanded into advanced trading with in-wallet perpetual futures powered by Hyperliquid, allowing leveraged positions on over 150 tokens with up to 40x leverage and low fees. The platform also plans integrations with Polymarket for prediction markets and has confirmed the upcoming launch of its native MASK token, alongside a rewards program. Additionally, it supports hardware wallets and is preparing multichain accounts for better management of assets across EVM and non-EVM networks like Solana and Bitcoin.
