Setup MetaMask For Etho Protocol

Installing MetaMask

To use MetaMask with ETHO (Main network) or ETHO HC (Test network) you can install a browser extension from the appropriate app store for your particular browser. For this example, we will be using the chrome version. You can find the chrome application here:

After Installing the MetaMask browser extension, you will need to go through the following setup process:

1. When prompted, press continue.

   

2. Create a strong password to use with MetaMask. (You can also import an existing wallet with the seed phrase, to restore an existing account.)

   

3. After creating a password, you will be shown your account image, and then you will be prompted to accept the MetaMask Terms & Conditions along with a privacy notice and a statement on phishing.

6. You have now successfully installed MetaMask. You will now need to configure MetaMask so that it knows how to access the Etho Protocol blockchain.

It will open a new browser tab and ask you for the following information for the main net:
