To send funds, select the asset, enter the recipient's address, amount and gas settings, review the details, and click confirm. 5 MetaMask injects the Web3 API into websites, allowing you to seamlessly connect to and interact with Ethereum dApps directly from your browser. The MetaMask extension provides a user-friendly way to manage your Ethereum assets and access Web3 applications. Always keep your secret recovery phrase safe, as it is the only way to restore your wallet if needed.
