How to connect MetaMask to OpenSea

24 January, 2022

To use OpenSea, you need to have a cryptocurrency wallet.

The most popular ones are MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, and Trust Wallet.

MetaMask is recommended as it is specifically used for interacting with the Ethereum (ETH) blockchain.

You need Ethereum to mint or purchase NFTs.

Ethereum is also needed to pay for gas fees to complete transactions.
