MetaMask provides a simple and secure way for users to manage their digital assets and interact with decentralized applications (dApps) on the Ethereum blockchain. It enables users to store and manage their Ethereum-based cryptocurrencies, such as Ether (ETH) and ERC-20 tokens, in a non-custodial wallet. This means that users retain complete control over their private keys and can access their funds at any time.

In addition to its wallet functionality, MetaMask also acts as a bridge between the Ethereum blockchain and the internet browser. It allows users to interact with Ethereum-based dApps directly from their browser, without needing to run a full Ethereum node or use complex command-line interfaces.
