# Import private key

### MetaMask addon for major browsers

Please install the MetaMask addon/extension for your browser.  You can find a few direct links below as an example.

Firefox: <https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/ether-metamask/?utm_source=addons.mozilla.org&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=search>

Microsoft Edge: <https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/detail/metamask/ejbalbakoplchlghecdalmeeeajnimhm>

Google Chrome/Brave: <https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/metamask/nkbihfbeogaeaoehlefnkodbefgpgknn>

### Create or Restore wallet

After the MetaMask addon is installed, a new wallet must be created or restored from a seed phrase. Please check the [Installation ](/wallet/installation.md)and [New Wallet](/wallet/create-a-new-wallet.md) sections for a demo.

To continue, please add the ETNY token to Metamask as shown in our "[ETNY on Bloxberg](/ethernity-node/configuring-the-node/select-the-network/mainnet-on-bloxberg/connect-to-the-bloxberg-blockchain.md)" section.
