Add a web3 connect button to your React App with TypeScript and Metamask.

Metamask is the most popular cryptocurrency wallet with over 10 Million monthly active users. Available as a browser extension and mobile app, Metamask provides key functionalities that make it easy to interact with the Ethereum blockchain and other notable chains like Binance, Avalanche, and Polygon. Web3 developers may use these capabilities to power decentralized apps (dApps), allowing users to perform blockchain-based transactions securely with a single sign-on.

In this article, we will use TypeScript to add a Metamask connect button to a basic React project. Google’s Firebase social login, which allows developers to build apps that authenticate users using their Google, Facebook, GitHub, and Twitter accounts, is a similar traditional web equivalent.

Let’s get started.

The Future Of Work: Being On The Good Side Of AI The Centaur Way

Only The Centaurs Win


Note: An AI wrote parts of this article. Try to guess which 🙂


In the first chapter of Smarter Than You Think, the author, Clive Thompson, narrated the story of the rise, fall and rise of Kasparov, a chess grand champion.

The main takeaway depicted a battle between the past and the future. In 1997, IBM’s Deep Blue supercomputer beat the world champion, Kasparov, in a game of chess. The defeat was devastating, with media outlets terming it the evil triumph of AI over the brain.

But Kasparov did something beautiful after that. He learned the ways of the supercomputer partnering with the AI giving birth to what’s now called Advanced Chess.


Software is eating the world. And to be spared, one needs to pander to its desires, master them and, in turn, use them to achieve one’s goals.
