Metamask is widely agreed to be the crypto wallet for Defi, Web3 Dapps and NFTs as it provides essential utility for blockchain newbies, crypto gamers, token traders as well as developers with over a million downloads so far. Utilizing it for my transactions on the Best DeFi platform - PolyCUB built on the Polygon blockchain has been seamless so far.

Metamask links several blockchains like Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Polygon Network and Hive blockchain among others. It allows users to access their wallet through a browser extension or a mobile app, and can comfortably interact with decentralized applications like PolyCUB, CubDeFi and other DeFi platforms.

With intels that MetaMask would launch the META coin which would be airdropped in the likeness of the $UNI token of Uniswap, the usage of the SWAP feature of MetaMask has been hinted to be one of the criteria for airdropping META tokens.

In my previous trending post on How to link your Hive account to MetaMask Wallet, I discovered how useful the information was or Hive and other crypto users, hence the need for this.

Is it applicable for all the chains: Ethereum, Binance, Matic, etc. ??? Swap in Ethereum is very very costly, so not practically feasible for micro traders.

Also kindly help me to get the correct token contract address so that I could add it to Metamask before making any swap. Thank you.
