Once you've downloaded one of the two browsers, it's time to add the **Metamask extension**.&#x20;

Metamask is a **wallet** that allows you to manage your financial assets in cryptocurrencies, tokens and NFTs across different blockchains.&#x20;

*Remember to always have a small amount of Matic (just a few cents is enough) to pay the necessary transaction fees when you want to move your land to another wallet!*

To download and install the extension:&#x20;

If you visit [metamask.io](https://metamask.io), you can follow the download process intuitively.&#x20;

In some cases, even if you are using Brave, the button may prompt you to download the extension for Chrome: this is perfectly normal as they share much of their codebase.&#x20;

While some browsers offer a built-in wallet extension, **Metamask is essential** to access the marketplace to buy land and the management tool to configure it.

### Download and Confirm

You will see a warning pop-up, <mark style="color:green;">then click the '</mark><mark style="color:green;">**Add extension**</mark><mark style="color:green;">'</mark> button again to confirm your choice.&#x20;

If this doesn't happen, check your **Downloads** folder; the installation file may be there (it will have a .crx extension: just open it and follow the installation instructions).
