MetaMask is a popular software cryptocurrency wallet used to interact with the Ethereum blockchain and decentralized applications (dApps). It allows users to store, send, and receive Ethereum and other ERC-20 tokens, as well as interact with smart contracts. SushiSwap is a decentralized exchange (DEX) that allows users to trade Ethereum and ERC-20 tokens without the need for a middleman. Adding SushiSwap to MetaMask allows users to easily access and trade SUSHI tokens within the MetaMask interface.
