About This Demo
This single-page demo lets you connect your MetaMask wallet to see how decentralized applications (dApps) interact with browser wallets. The connection happens locally — your private keys never leave MetaMask. You are simply granting permission for this page to read your public address and fetch your balance.
How It Works
When you click “Connect MetaMask,” your browser checks for an injected Ethereum provider (the interface MetaMask exposes). If MetaMask is installed, it will ask for permission to access your wallet address. Once connected, this page displays your public address, network ID, and balance, all fetched via standard blockchain JSON-RPC calls.
Why Use Wallet Connections
Traditional web apps rely on usernames and passwords stored in databases. Wallet connections are different — they use cryptographic proof of ownership. Your wallet signs data directly on your device. The website never stores sensitive data or handles passwords. This makes connections more secure and decentralized.
Security Best Practices
Always verify the website you’re connecting to and confirm which account is being accessed. Never enter your seed phrase, recovery phrase, or private key into a website. If a page asks for those, close it immediately. This demo never requests or stores private data. All communication happens through your local MetaMask instance.
Privacy Note
Connecting a wallet reveals only your public address to the page. Your transactions remain visible on-chain but are never stored here. This site does not track, analyze, or transmit your wallet data. Disconnect your wallet anytime from MetaMask’s interface.
