  • Ethereum is a platform based on blockchain technology. Although it is renowned for the cryptocurrency ETH, it can also work with other currencies and applications.
  • MetaMask is one of the Ethereum wallets with its specific authentication system. TheMetaMask wallet is one of the easiest to use and can be set up in a few minutes.
