How to Add Tezos to MetaMask: A Complete Guide

MetaMask wallet, widely used in the digital asset space, is now expanding its support for Tezos through a collaboration between TriliTech and Consensys. This collaboration introduces a Tezos Snap, a MetaMask plugin, to seamlessly integrate MetaMask with Tezos, expanding the wallet’s reach and capabilities.

Why this launch?

The goal is to provide MetaMask’s millions of existing users with convenient access to a diverse range of applications in the Tezos ecosystem. Additionally, this integration brings more wallet options to the Tezos community.

Tezos snap integration with MetaMask

The Tezos Snap, officially endorsed by MetaMask, simplifies the process for users to connect their MetaMask wallet with Tezos dApps. When interacting with a Tezos dApp, the Tezos Snap prompts users to download and install the plugin without requiring additional installations.

Upon installation, Tezos Snap uses the same recovery phrase as MetaMask to derive the Tezos account and address. Users can view their public key, address, and share this information with connected dApps seamlessly.

Tezos Wallet Explorer

Alongside the Tezos Snap, TriliTech also launched the Tezos Wallet Explorer powered by MetaMask. This open-source application serves as an intermediary between MetaMask’s Tezos Snap and Tezos dApps, allowing users to view account balances, transaction history, and manage NFTs seamlessly.

How to Use MetaMask Wallet on Tezos

To initiate the integration, make sure you have the MetaMask Chrome extension installed and follow these steps:

1. Visit the Tezos Wallet powered by MetaMask .
2. Click on the “Connect with MetaMask” button.
3. Accept the connection in MetaMask.
4. Approve and install the Tezos Snap.

MetaMask is now visible on Tezos Modal Beacon SDK. It is important to note that at the moment, the Tezos Snap only works with browser extensions and not on mobile devices.

Migration of Wallets to MetaMask

For users interested in migrating their wallets to MetaMask, it is possible to import the recovery phrase when creating the MetaMask account. If no custom derivation path was used, the Tezos address should match the one from the previous wallet.

Adding Tezos to your MetaMask wallet is a simple process, thanks to MetaMask Snaps. These Snaps enable seamless interoperability, simplifying the integration of Tezos into MetaMask. Follow the steps below:

What is Tezos?

Tezos is a decentralized blockchain that stands out for its unique governance mode and its focus on formal verification.
