Rabby Wallet vs MetaMask Comparison

1. How to Install Rabby Wallet

Always download from the official site (https://rabby.io/).

• Available as a Chrome extension or mobile app
• For the Chrome extension, verify the developer is "rabby.io" on the Chrome Web Store

2. Creating a New Wallet

Next, create a new wallet.

1. Click the Rabby icon → Set language (Japanese supported)
2. Select "Create New Address"

1. A seed phrase (12 words) will be displayed — write it down by hand and store it in a safe place

- Never share this seed phrase with anyone
- Digital storage or screenshots are strictly prohibited — always write it down by hand

4. Set a password (8+ characters, mix of letters, numbers, and symbols recommended)

1. Complete the seed phrase verification test
2. Setup complete — the main screen will be displayed

3. Importing an Existing Wallet

If you already have a wallet, you can import it.

• Seed phrases (12 or 24 words) from MetaMask or hardware wallets (Ledger, Trezor, etc.) can be imported from the same screen
• After importing, verify that your address and balance match

Here's how to migrate from MetaMask to Rabby Wallet. You can carry over your existing assets without creating a new wallet.

Migration Steps

1. Check your seed phrase in MetaMask

   • Go to MetaMask Settings → Security & Privacy → "Reveal Secret Recovery Phrase"
   • Write down the 12-word phrase by hand

2. Install Rabby Wallet

   • Follow the installation steps described above

3. Import your seed phrase into Rabby Wallet

   • On the startup screen, select "Import Address"
   • Choose "Seed Phrase" and enter your 12 words from MetaMask
   • After importing, verify that the same address and balance are displayed

4. Disable the MetaMask extension (recommended)

   • Having both wallets active simultaneously may cause conflicts when connecting to DApps
   • Disable MetaMask from Chrome's extension management for a smoother experience
   • We recommend disabling rather than uninstalling until you are sure you no longer need it

Understanding the Main Screen

Below is the main screen of Rabby (browser extension).

• Top: Your wallet address / current network
• Center: Crypto and NFT asset balances (can also display in JPY)
• Bottom buttons (functions)
  • Send: Send funds after confirming the wallet address, amount, and fees
  • Receive: Display your address (QR code also available)
  • Swap: Exchange cryptocurrencies within the wallet
  • Bridge: Move assets between different chains

Language Settings

After clicking the Rabby extension icon, go to "More" > "Current Language" at the bottom right of the wallet screen and select your preferred language.

The greatest strength that sets Rabby Wallet apart from other wallets is its comprehensive security features.

Transaction Simulation

Rabby Wallet displays a simulation of "how your balance will change if you execute this transaction" before you sign it.

• Type and amount of tokens being sent
• Type and amount of tokens being received
• Scope of approval permissions

This allows you to detect in advance the risk of granting full asset approval to a malicious contract. MetaMask lacks an equivalent feature and requires external tools like Tenderly.

Malicious Site and Contract Detection

When connecting to DApps, Rabby Wallet automatically checks the safety of the site and contract.

• Safe (green): Trusted site
• Warning (yellow): Unknown site or contract requiring caution
• Dangerous (red): Phishing site or known scam contract

Warnings are displayed when the recipient is a new address, helping prevent input errors and scam losses.

Approval Management (Revoke)

• Approval permissions granted in DeFi can be revoked at any time from the "Approvals" screen
• Regularly revoking permissions for unused Web3 services reduces the risk of future asset theft

Rabby Wallet supports a wide range of EVM-compatible chains beyond Ethereum. Unlike MetaMask, there is no need to manually add RPC information — the network automatically switches based on the connected DApp.

Supported Chains (Examples)

• Ethereum (Mainnet)
• Arbitrum / Optimism (L2)
• Base (Coinbase L2)
• Polygon (formerly Matic)
• BNB Chain (formerly BSC)
• Avalanche C-Chain
• 100+ other EVM chains

Switching Chains

1. When you access a DApp, Rabby Wallet automatically detects the corresponding chain
2. To switch manually, click the network name at the top of the main screen and select from the list
3. Balances for each chain are displayed together on the main screen, making asset management easy

• Seed phrase management is the top priority
  • Write it down on paper and store it in multiple locations
  • Never show it to others or store it online
• Set a hard-to-guess password and change it periodically
• Only install from the official site or authorized stores
• Never share your seed phrase, even if asked via suspicious sites or DMs
• Always perform a test transaction before transferring large amounts

• If your account is compromised or seed phrase leaked, immediately create a new wallet and transfer your assets
• If a transaction or swap fails, double-check the network, fees, and address
• For further help, refer to the official Rabby documentation, support, or community
