# Metamask Wallet

In order to participate in the Rawrshak Alpha, a gamer must have have an Ethereum Wallet capable of connecting to the the Rawrshak front-end.

In this tutorial, we help the user install Metamask on their browser and create a wallet. We also recommend using Metamask mobile wallet in order to log into games through WalletConnect. We recommend using Metamask because it allows the user to change networks from Ethereum Mainnet to Optimism Kovan Testnet. A tutorial for switching networks is [here](/tutorials/gamer/setup/adding-optimism-kovan-network.md).
