Although not an obligatory requirement to explore any of the platforms, for a more fulfilling experience of virtual blockchain worlds, you should download and install Metamask, a free browser extension. It only takes 2 minutes and you can use the video on this page to guide you.

Metamask is a Web3 wallet and it primarily…

• Stores any cryptocurrency
• Stores any NFTs (e.g. land, in-game items)
• Carries out transactions between you and the blockchain
• Note: You cannot buy or sell any land, avatars, wearables etc without Metamask

NB: To explore Somnium Space, you will also need to download the client (we recommend the web page download at Somniumspace.com, rather than direct from Steam). More details are included in the Getting Started, Somnium Space section of this educational guide.
