Summary
In this chapter, we learned about MetaMask, a software cryptocurrency wallet used for interacting with the Ethereum blockchain and Dapps. We went through how to install, set up, and use MetaMask, as well as the importance of securely storing your secret backup phrase. We also learned how to connect MetaMask to a local blockchain such as Hardhat by adding a custom RPC network and importing Hardhat accounts. Finally, we learned about the process of transferring tokens between different accounts within MetaMask when using a local Hardhat blockchain.
In the next chapter, we’ll jump into the world of smart contracts. We’ll start writing and deploying the smart contracts to the locally running blockchain we deployed and take a deep dive into the programming side of smart contracts.
