Easy to set up Ethereum connection and wallet

In this short article, we look at an option for an easy way to set up an Ethereum node connection and a wallet. We will also look at how to get test Eth for testing purposes. These are the things we need to test and use the applications that interact with the Ethereum blockchain. Which we will develop in other articles. The easiest way is to use services and apps. In this article, we will look at infura.io for Ethereum node connections and metamask for wallets. The information in this post is a prerequisite to follow my article on Rust…
