When you first install and activate MetaMask, it will only support ETH transactions.<\/p>\n
However, this doesn\u2019t mean you can use it to store and transact with other coins and tokens.<\/p>\n
If you want to use your MetaMask for SHIB (Shiba INU) token transactions, here are a few steps you need to follow.<\/p>\n
If you haven\u2019t set up MetaMask yet, check out this tutorial\u2019s first part<\/a> where I share a step-by-step guide to activating your MetaMask wallet.<\/em><\/p>\n It\u2019s actually a very simple add any coin to MetaMask.<\/p>\n Go to CoinMarketCap<\/a>.<\/p>\n On CoinMarketCap, search for the crypto token\/coin you want to add to your MetaMask wallet. In this case, we will search for SHIB tokens.<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Once you find the coin\/token, you will notice the \u201ccontracts<\/strong>\u201d toggle. Below is an example for SHIB.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Under Contracts<\/strong>, you will notice the MetaMask mascot – The Fox.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Click on Add to MetaMask<\/strong> and follow the instructions in the pop-up screen, which would look like this:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Click on \u201cAdd Token\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n That\u2019s it! – SHIB will now be available to transact in your MetaMask wallet.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Using the same method above, you can add multiple tokens to MetaMask pretty easily.<\/strong><\/p>\n Keep in mind, since this is on Ehereum Mainnet, you can only transfer ECR20 tokens to this address.<\/p>\n There will be times when you will see an option to use Binance Smart Chain or Solana<\/a> Blockchain. However, you won’t be able to add these coins to your MetaMask wallet unless you’ve added their respective networks as well.<\/p>\n For instance, you need to add the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) network in order to use WRX (WazirX Token) in MetaMask. Here’s the link<\/a> to the only set of instructions you need to add BSC to MetaMask.<\/p>\n
