We will show you how to set up a MetaMask wallet for the Avalanche network to manage AVAX and Avalanche tokens and access DApps.
MetaMask is built for the Ethereum, but since the Avalanche is compatible with EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) and Solidity programming language, it can be easily configured for the Avalanche network and used on its DApps.

1. Install the MetaMask Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox Browser Extension.
2. Open it, Create a wallet, and write down the recovery phrase.
4. Click on the Networks icon in the top left.
5. Click Add next to the Avalanche Network C-Chain, and Approve.
