Finding your MetaMask wallet address

If you haven’t downloaded Metamask yet, the first step is to go to chrome extensions and download metamask.

If you do not have an account, metamask will ask you to start a new one. Here we will enter a password for your account. Do not forget your password and write it down somewhere safe.

The most crucial part of setting up a Metamask account is the phrases. There will be 12 words written back to back, irrelevant random words that do not make sense when read aloud. You have to save them somewhere very safe because if you forget your password then these 12 words are your only hope.

After you start your account, you just need to get your deposit address. If you had an account before, this is the stage you will use. You can see your wallet address in the red highlighted area. Besides your wallet address, you will see an icon, click on it to copy your wallet address.

Using our MetaMask address to send from Crypto.com

After you got your address, it is time to get back to Crypto.com. Paste the ETH address you have taken from Metamask into the “ETH Address” column here. You will also need to name it anything you want as well, something like “metamask” to remind you what it is could be handy.

After your wallet address is entered and named, you will confirm it and go back to the whitelisted address section. This time around you will see your ERC20 ETH address from metamask will be shown there. Click on it to continue.

It will be directing you to enter an amount. Enter how much ETH you want to send to your Metamask account and click the “Withdraw” button.

When everything else is done, the confirmation page is the last step you need to handle. Double-check every detail and when you are ready click the “confirm” button.

Whenever you are done, you will get a graphic like this. It means your task is done and all you need to do is wait for your coins to arrive. Metamask has an automatic notifier, so whenever your ETH reaches your wallet, you will be notified of it.

Remember, each withdrawal will need to pass a security check by crypto.com, so it will not be automatic but won’t be too long either. Most transactions will be sent within the first two hours.

If you are not certain about the process or feel like something went wrong, or it took longer than a few hours, then you can always contact support and ask what is wrong with your transaction. After it leaves crypto.com, you do not have to do anything for it to reach metamask and it will be automatically credited.
