What are the steps to connect Metamask to a decentralized application (DApp) on the Ethereum network?

To connect MetaMask to a decentralized application (DApp) on the Ethereum network, follow these steps:

1. Install the MetaMask Extension: Make sure you have the MetaMask extension installed on your Chrome browser. If not, visit the Chrome Web Store, search for MetaMask, and install it.

2. Create or Import a Wallet: Upon installation, open MetaMask and either create a new wallet or import an existing one using your secret recovery phrase.

3. Select the Ethereum Network: Make sure you are on the Ethereum network. You can check and change the network by clicking on the network selection dropdown at the top of the MetaMask interface.

4. Navigate to the DApp: Open a new browser tab, and navigate to the DApp you wish to interact with.

5. Connect to MetaMask: Look for a button or option within the DApp to connect your wallet. This is often labeled as "Connect Wallet," "Connect to MetaMask," or something similar. Click on it.

6. Confirm Connection: A MetaMask popup will appear, asking for your permission to connect to the DApp. Review the permissions, and if you agree, click on the "Connect" button.

7. Interact with the DApp: Once connected, you can now interact with the DApp using MetaMask. Transactions initiated from the DApp will prompt MetaMask popups asking for confirmation and gas fee approval.

By following these steps, you can seamlessly connect MetaMask to a wide range of decentralized applications on the Ethereum network, allowing for secure and interactive experiences.
