Getting Started

If you’re thinking about investing in digital assets or digital asset securities, you probably already know that you need to have a digital wallet to store and manage your assets. You also probably know that there are many digital wallets out there across various platforms like Chrome, Android and iOS, each with its own benefits and limitations.

While this article will not be exhaustive, it will review one of the most-used wallets, MetaMask for desktop use on Chrome, so you can get up and running with Web3 Crowdfunding on Securitize Markets. MetaMask is also available on Brave and Firefox browsers, where the installation steps are very similar. In future articles we will review how to use MetaMask and other wallets such as WalletConnect and Coinbase Wallet.

To get you started, let’s review how to install MetaMask, one of the most popular digital wallets, so you can experience the benefits of Web3 Crowdfunding first-hand.
