MetaMask is an extension for accessing Harmony enabled distributed applications, or "Dapps" in your browser.
Click here to install the Metamask extension on your browser. It can be installed using the Google Chrome Browser. Just click on the installation button and it should be automatically installed.
By default Metamask supports the Ethereum blockchain, but since Harmony is EVM compatible with Ethereum, it can be used the same way by setting a custom RPC endpoint.
In order to connect to the Harmony Network, a custom RPC Endpoint needs to be added. On top click on the network you are connect to and and then on Custom RPC:
Fill it accordingly to the Harmony Network and the shard you want to to connect to.
Use the RPC URL of Shard 0 if you want to send/receive transactions from exchanges or do any staking transaction type.
