Hi @flexsurfer, that's because MetaMask implements [EIP-1102](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-1102). You have to call ethereum.request({ method: 'eth_requestAccounts' }) first. Since you're asking about MetaMask specifically, I'll also refer you to the relevant section of our [documentation](https://docs.metamask.io/guide/ethereum-provider.html#using-the-provider).
