Frequently Asked Questions

Is MetaMask really free to use? +
Yes, MetaMask is completely free to download and use. There are no subscription fees, hidden costs, or premium features. The wallet is open-source and maintained by ConsenSys. You only pay network fees (gas) for blockchain transactions, which go to network validators, not MetaMask.
Can I use the same wallet on multiple devices? +
Absolutely! You can use the same wallet across multiple devices by importing it using your secret recovery phrase. Install MetaMask on your new device, choose "Import Wallet," and enter your 12-word recovery phrase. This will give you access to the same accounts and funds across all platforms.
What happens if I lose my phone or computer? +
As long as you have your secret recovery phrase, your funds are safe. Install MetaMask on a new device and use your recovery phrase to restore your wallet. Your cryptocurrency is stored on the blockchain, not on your physical device. The device only stores your keys to access the funds.
How secure is MetaMask compared to hardware wallets? +
MetaMask is a "hot wallet" (connected to internet), while hardware wallets are "cold wallets" (offline storage). Hardware wallets provide the highest security for large amounts. MetaMask is extremely secure for daily use and connects to hardware wallets like Ledger and Trezor for enhanced security.
Can I connect MetaMask to hardware wallets? +
Yes! MetaMask can connect to popular hardware wallets like Ledger and Trezor. This combines the convenience of MetaMask with the security of hardware wallets. Your private keys remain on the hardware device while MetaMask handles the interface and dApp connections.
What cryptocurrencies does MetaMask support? +
MetaMask supports all ERC-20 tokens on Ethereum and equivalent tokens on other EVM-compatible chains (BEP-20 on BSC, etc.). This includes thousands of tokens. It also supports NFTs (ERC-721 and ERC-1155). You can add any custom token using its contract address.

🚨 Critical Security Reminder

MetaMask will never ask for your secret recovery phrase. Never enter your 12-word phrase on any website, even if it looks like MetaMask. Only enter your recovery phrase in the official MetaMask application during setup or recovery. Beware of phishing sites, fake support agents, and fraudulent applications.
