Section 3: Initiating the Transfer

1. Click on Ethereum on Coinbase and select the "send" option.

2. Open your MetaMask wallet and find your Ethereum address. To copy your address, click on the "Buy" button, scroll down to "directly deposit ether" and select "view account".

2. Choose Ethereum as the asset you want to send. Specify the amount you wish to send.

Section 5: Confirming the Transfer

1. After confirming the details of your transaction, including the network fee, click "continue".

2. Depending on your security settings, you may need to provide a two-step verification code.

• Insight: Network fees are dependent on the Ethereum network's congestion. They can be checked by copying the Ethereum amount from Coinbase and converting it into your local currency using a search engine.

Section 6: Waiting for the Transfer to Complete

1. After confirming the transaction, your Ethereum balance in Coinbase will be deducted.

2. Wait for the transaction to reflect in your MetaMask wallet.

3. This usually takes less than 10 minutes but can vary based on network congestion.

Conclusion

The process of transferring Ethereum from Coinbase to MetaMask is fairly straightforward once you understand the steps. It is always essential to ensure the correct wallet address is used and to be patient while the transaction is being processed.
