| To get started with Metamask, you need to install the [MetaMask extension](https://metamask.io/download/){target=\_blank} and add it to the browser. Once, you have metamask installed, you can set up a new wallet and securely store your seed phrase. This phrase is crucial for recovery in case you lose access. | ||

| ## Connect to the Asset Hub Westend Testnet |

I think there might be a button / embed we could put here too, see: https://contracts.polkadot.io/connect-to-asset-hub/

I thought the https://contracts.polkadot.io/connect-to-asset-hub/ was a temporary solution until this documentation is ready. If not, we can add the link at the end of this page to connect to contracts.polkadot.io. Do you know if that is the case?

| MetaMask allows users to connect to the Asset Hub to explore and interact with the chain. This article will guide you step by step on how to set up an EVM-compatible wallet, connect to the Westend Asset Hub, and request test tokens for development testing. |

This is not accurate
- Let's start with what is Westend --> one of the Polkadot test networks.
- MetaMask is not just to connect to Westend, it can connect to any EVM compat chain
- Westend is not EVM compat, and soon Kusama and Polkadot will be
- "explore and interact with the chain" is not correct, you can only interact with smart contracts. You cannot do a balance transfer in Westend with MetaMastk.
- In fact, it is important to explore how a user should use a Polkadot-native wallet with Westend, and how MetaMastk, and how they differ.

Thanks, @kianenigma. I assume there’s a typo in item 2, and you meant to say, "Westend is EVM compatible, and soon Kusama and Polkadot will be."
If so, do you think this introduction covers your points using the correct terminology?
MetaMask is a popular wallet for interacting with EVM-compatible chains, allowing users to connect to test networks that support Ethereum-based smart contracts. This article provides guidance on setting up MetaMask, connecting to the contracts deployed on the EVM-compatible test network, the Westend Asset Hub, and requesting test tokens for development purposes.
It’s important to emphasize that MetaMask primarily facilitates interactions with smart contracts, giving you access to various functionalities available on the chain.
Thanks, this page will be merged into staging-ah-smart-contracts, which is a branch containing the initial IA where we intended to place this content. For this particular page, the path would be: |
This PR aims to add a basic documentation of how to connect your wallet to asset hub smart contracts
Note: The IA used is preliminary. We can circle back on this later on and define where all this content should be located
