MetaMask
Keystone is the only hardware wallet that is compatible with both the MetaMask extension and the MetaMask mobile app. It fully supports all EVM chains, as well as the main coins, tokens, and Dapps.
🎉🎉🎉Great news!
The waitlist for our 3rd generation product is now open. Visit our homepage to find out more.
Firmware versions M-5.0 (Multi-Coin) or newer will allow you to use the MetaMask Extension (V10.8.0 or newer) with your Keystone and set the MetaMask extension as a watch-only wallet on your Keystone Essential or Pro.
I. Preparation
1. Firmware versions M-5.0 (Multi-Coin) or newer running on Keystone Essential or Pro.
(Please read How to upgrade firmware for more details.)
2. Download the MetaMask browser extension (V10.8.0 or newer) from MetaMask's official website.
II.Important Notes
A wallet generated by MetaMask has its recovery phrase online. This means that this recovery phrase has been connected to the network(internet).
Therefore, even if you import this recovery phrase created by MetaMask into Keystone (or any other hardware wallets) to continue managing your digital assets, this recovery phrase might already be at risk of being attacked by hackers.
pagePotential Trouble with Importing MetaMask wallet into KeystoneIn principle, we highly recommend creating a new recovery phrase (new wallet with a 24-word seed phrase) offline on a Keystone hardware wallet and then transferring your assets from your MetaMask wallet to the new one prior to using your Keystone to interact with MetaMask. This is the safest way to protect your assets.
III. Bind MetaMask with your Keystone Hardware Wallet

5) Keep your secret recovery phrase somewhere safe.
6) Now you have successfully set up your MetaMask. Feel free to browse around the MetaMask main page to familiarize yourself with it.
