+# Architecture
+
+The following diagram outlines the high-level architecture of the MetaMask web3 stack.
+
+![Architecture diagram](../assets/web3-architecture.png)
+
+Using [MetaMask SDK](../how-to/use-sdk/index.md), dapps built on multiple platforms can connect to
+their users' Ethereum accounts through the MetaMask browser extension and MetaMask Mobile.
+Dapps can send [JSON-RPC API](../reference/rpc-api.md) calls to the users' MetaMask wallet clients.
+MetaMask then responds to these requests directly or uses [Infura](https://www.infura.io/) (or
+another user-configured node provider) when the call requires access to information on a blockchain network.
