# Setting up Metamask

### Step 1: Install MetaMask <a href="#installing-metamask" id="installing-metamask"></a>

If you have not yet installed MetaMask on your Chrome, Brave or Firefox browser, please do so via [**this link**](https://metamask.io/). Make sure to save your seed phrase in a secure location. In no circumstance should you share your seed phrase with anyone. Keep in mind that the Yeti team will never ask for your private key or seed phrase!

### Step 2: Add Avalanche Mainnet[​](https://docs.avax.network/build/tutorials/smart-contracts/deploy-a-smart-contract-on-avalanche-using-remix-and-metamask/#step-1-setting-up-metamask) <a href="#step-1-setting-up-metamask" id="step-1-setting-up-metamask"></a>

### Step 3: Funding your C-Chain address  <a href="#step-2-funding-your-c-chain-address" id="step-2-funding-your-c-chain-address"></a>

To use the Avalanche Network, you must have AVAX in your Metamask wallet for transaction gas fees. Head over to centralized exchanges such as Coinbase, Kucoin, or Gate.io and withdraw AVAX into your Metamask wallet.
