help MetaMask (Mobile) FAQ
Is MetaMask Mobile a crypto exchange or a wallet?
MetaMask Mobile is primarily a self-custody wallet for Ethereum and EVM-compatible networks, not a centralized exchange like Coinbase. It can connect to decentralized apps and may route swaps, but the user controls the wallet keys.
Can MetaMask Mobile use Polygon or BNB Smart Chain?
Yes, MetaMask supports Ethereum-style EVM networks, including Polygon and BNB Smart Chain when the network is added. Users still need the correct gas token, such as MATIC on Polygon or BNB on BNB Smart Chain.
Does MetaMask Mobile have a dapp browser?
Yes, the mobile app includes a browser for decentralized apps. That is one reason people use it for DeFi, NFT marketplaces, and Web3 games on iOS or Android.
What happens if someone loses the MetaMask recovery phrase?
If the Secret Recovery Phrase is lost and there is no unlocked device backup, MetaMask cannot restore the wallet. The phrase controls access to accounts on chains like Ethereum, so it should never be pasted into a website or shared with support.
