Introduction
This guide outlines the steps needed to connect MetaMask to Moonriver. In contrast to the MetaMask guide for a Moonbeam development node, this is much simpler because you don't need to connect to a local running Moonbeam node. Let's jump right into it.
Creating a Wallet
After installing MetaMask, the setup will automatically open a new task with a welcome screen. Click "Get Started" to begin the setup process.
