Creating a new Web 3 cryptocurrency / NFT wallet that isn’t managed by a centralized exchange (like Coinbase) may seem like a daunting task if you’re new to the crypto or NFT space. Thankfully, the ZenSports and ZenSportsia teams are here to help you out! Below is a step by step guide on how to create a wallet using MetaMask, which is a Web 3 wallet provider that will allow you to receive and store cryptocurrencies and NFT’s yourself. By using a Web 3 wallet like MetaMask, you’ll officially own the private keys to access your wallet from anywhere without the permission of a centralized third party.
NOTE: a Web 3 wallet with MetaMask will only allow you to store EVM compatible coins and NFT’s like Ethereum. It will not allow you to store Bitcoin. For a Bitcoin wallet, check out the Exodus Wallet.
