How to Manage Cryptos (Send/ Receive) in Metamask?

Once the MetaMask extension is been installed in the brower, one can easily transfer ETH on MetaMask. Let’s see the whole process.

  • To receive ETH, select the three dots that’s present in the top right corner and further select “ Show QR Code”.

  • After that, a QR code would show up along with an ETH address that will be below the QR code. The code can then be scanned or copied to send ETH to the wallet.

  • Now in order to send ETH from MetaMask to other wallet, one can select the “Send” button present in the home screen of the wallet page.

  • Then one needs to fill up the “Recipient Address” & “Amount” that will be needed to transfer out.

How to manage ERC20 Tokens on MetaMask

This is quite easy! In MetaMask ERC20 tokens are supported by default.

  1. After unlocking MetaMask, one needs to select the “ Tokens” button and then select “Add token”.

  2. Now one has to update the token details that’s to be added in the MetaMask.

  3. The details such as Contract address, Token Symbol, and token decimals is given in the required fields, then click “Add”.  For example if you want to add BNB token

  • Token Symbol: BNB

  • Token Decimals: 18

  • Token Contract Address: XXXXX….

Now the BNB will be added to the MetaMask wallet. The same way one can add ERC20 tokens to the MetaMask wallet.

MetaMask with Trezor?

If you connect the Trezor Device with MetaMask, then the ETH account will be reflected in the MetaMask’s UI as Trezor account. After opening the app, you will be able to get the entire transaction history. But, in order to carry out the operations, you need to signin using the private keys that will be possible only by using Trezor device. The MetaMask will send the required request to the Trezor, example, when signing a transction or a message.

After importing the account, you can disconnect the Trezor and the transaction history will remain in the Metamask, as it holds the public key to your connected account. In order to remove the history from the app, disconnect your account in MetaMask settings.

Connect Trezor With MetaMask

  • Download and install MetaMask in your Brower. (Chrome- only supported browser at present)

  • Click “ Connect Hardware wallet” from the top right corner.

  • Then  select “ Connect Trezor”

  • There will be poop up with Trezor connect, along with a request to export the public key. Approve that to continue.

  • Then Select the account  to be used and click “unlock”.

Connecting Trezor hardware wallet along with the Metamask doubles the security, since it allows the cold storage of large amount of Ethers in the hardware wallet. Connecting a hardware and software wallet will make crypto transactions much more reliable.
