I've been hearing a lot about MetaMask recently and I'm wondering if it's only compatible with Ethereum or if it can also be used with other blockchains. Can someone clarify this for me?

In addition to ETH, MetaMask also supports ETH-based tokens. These tokens follow specific standards or protocols that allow them to interact with the Ethereum blockchain.

One of the most common types of ETH-based tokens is ERC-20. This standard defines a common list of rules for tokens to follow, enabling them to be easily traded and transferred on the Ethereum network.

ERC-721 is another standard supported by MetaMask. Unlike ERC-20 tokens, which are fungible (interchangeable), ERC-721 tokens are non-fungible, meaning each token is unique and cannot be replaced by another. This standard is often used for digital collectibles and gaming items.

MetaMask also supports ERC-1155 tokens, which are a hybrid of ERC-20 and ERC-721. They can represent both fungible and non-fungible tokens within a single smart contract. This makes them highly versatile and efficient for developers.
