Setting Up a Wallet

To interact with zkMarkets, you'll need a Web3 wallet. Here's a guide to install our prefered wallet - Metamask:

This guide is for a PC using Chrome. On Android or IOs you need to install the Metamask app first and then the steps should be the same.

Step 1. Install MetaMask

1. Get a supported browser.*

2. Visit https://metamask.io/download/

3. Click “Install MetaMask for Chrome”. You will be directed to the Chrome Web Store.

4. Click the “Add to Browser*” button or the “Get” button if using Edge.

5. On the pop up, click “Add extension” and wait till it is installed.

Once you install MetaMask for chrome it should automatically open. If not, simply click the addons (jigsaw) icon in the top-right of the screen and you will find MetaMask there. Hit the pin icon to make it easily accessible.

*The instructions here are for chrome but are similar for other browsers.
