How do I add WAX to Metamask?

As a crypto enthusiast, I'm curious about the process of adding WAX to Metamask. Could you please guide me through the steps involved? I've heard that WAX is a popular blockchain platform for digital assets, and I'm keen on exploring its potential. I'm already familiar with using Metamask for Ethereum-based tokens, but adding a new network and token seems a bit daunting. Can you explain the prerequisites, such as the need for WAX tokens or a specific version of Metamask? Also, I'd appreciate any tips on securely managing my funds while interacting with WAX through Metamask.
