What are KuCoin and MetaMask?
KuCoin is one of the most popular cryptocurrency exchanges, having been founded in 2017. With over one million active users and a user-friendly layout, the site is exceedingly simple to use. KuCoin is also known for its low fees and excellent degree of security. The headquarters of the exchange are in Mahé, Seychelles.
MetaMask is, as you surely know, one of the most popular cryptocurrency wallets on the market right now. The fact that MetaMask has over 30 million active users is impressive, and the MetaMask team deserves credit.
Because transferring cryptocurrency from KuCoin to your MetaMask wallet is so popular these days, we’ve decided to provide a comprehensive tutorial on how to do it in only a few steps and minutes. So, let’s get down to business.
By the way, Metamask wallet is compatible with hardware wallets like as the Ledger Nano X, Nano S Plus, and Trezor T.
Create a KuCoin Account
The first step is to create a KuCoin account by signing in using your phone or email.
Locate the Cryptocurrency you Want to Send
Okay, now we need to locate the currency you want to transfer and begin the withdrawal procedure. Please bear in mind that you must first validate your KuCoin account before withdrawing funds.
In the top right corner, click the “assets” tab, then the “withdraw” area to the right. When you click it, a new screen will appear, prompting you to search for the coin or choose one from your portfolio’s dropdown list.
Find Your MetaMask Wallet Address
The next step is to access your MetaMask wallet and locate the address to which the money will be delivered. MetaMask is available for iOS, Android, and PC/laptop (as the browser extension). We’ll utilize screenshots from the Chrome version for the sake of this post.
Open the extension, type your password and click on the “Unlock” button.
Now, as seen in the yellow circle below, just click on the address. You may copy the address code to your keyboard by clicking anywhere on the address code. Let’s go back to KuCoin now.
Important note: The currency you’re attempting to transfer from the exchange to your MetaMask wallet must be on the same mainnet as the one you’re using on your MetaMask wallet to appear in your wallet’s balance.
Fill Complete the “Withdrawal” Part of the KuCoin Form
The address should now be pasted into the “Wallet Address” section. If this isn’t the first time you’ve sent bitcoin to that address, it will already be shown in the dropdown menu, and you may choose it manually.
You must choose a network – KuCoin accepts deposits and withdrawals from Polygon, Ethereum, and Binance Smart Chain.
Fill in the amount you want to transfer and then confirm your withdrawal request.
Check and Confirm Your Transaction
Before the coins are transmitted, the majority of today’s exchanges need you to go through the security verification process. Since you must input the trade password (which you specified when your account was created), email verification code (click on the “Send Code” button), and Google/SMS verification code, KuCoin is top-notch. Click the “Submit” button after you’ve filled in the required passwords/codes, as indicated below.
Make Sure Your MetaMask Balance is Correct
Withdrawals from KuCoin normally take roughly 30 minutes, so check your MetaMask balance when that time has gone. Keep in mind that bigger withdrawals might take a few hours, but if you need anything sooner, contact KuCoin’s customer service.
