MetaMask Snap Bitcoin

MetaMask Snap to enable MetaMask users interaction with Bitcoin Blockchain.

Getting started

Prerequisites

Be sure to have installed the following

• Git
• Node.js
• Yarn
• MetaMask

Getting MetaMask running in your local environment

We strongly recommend using a Chromium browser in a profile without other versions of MetaMask installed.

When installing nodejs dependencies, note that some steps ask you to use yarn setup instead of yarn install.

• clone the MetaMask extension repo
• checkout the latest snaps branch
• in the repo root directory, execute yarn setup and then yarn start
• in Chrome, navigate to chrome://extensions
• make sure 'Developer Mode' is enabled on the far right, then click 'Load unpacked' on the far left
• navigate to the MetaMask repo, and then ./dist/chrome and click 'Select Folder'

At this point, you should see MetaMask added to your browser as an extension. We recommend using a dummy seed phrase for development.
