Consensys Announces Public Launch of MetaMask Snaps: Empowering Users with Unprecedented Platform Customization
Today, Consensys, a leading blockchain and web3 software company, announces the launch of the first iteration of MetaMask Snaps to the public. MetaMask Snaps is set to revolutionize the way users interact with MetaMask, the world’s leading self-custody web3 platform, offering them unprecedented control and customization. Snaps are new features and functionality, created by third-party developers, that MetaMask users worldwide can install directly into their wallet. Previously, MetaMask features were exclusively developed by MetaMask developers employed by Consensys. The initial rollout will include 34 Snaps that provide utility around transaction insights, interoperability with non-EVM blockchains like Bitcoin, and notifications.
The public launch of MetaMask Snaps marks a pivotal moment in the evolution of MetaMask as a wallet. By providing users with a new set of tools developed by third-party developers across the globe, MetaMask Snaps will empower individuals to shape their web3 experience according to their unique needs and preferences. Adept MetaMask users can access information about how to install the first available Snaps from the official website. The initial iterations will focus on getting experienced MetaMask users to try out MetaMask Snaps and collecting their feedback, while the MetaMask team continues its development journey towards realizing its ultimate vision.
Initial Snaps rollout: transaction insights, interoperability, and notifications
As the initial phase of realizing this vision, MetaMask Snaps will launch with a set of 34 Snaps. These Snaps went through security audits and were manually included in the allowlist by the MetaMask team. MetaMask will persist in auditing and incorporating Snaps into the allowlist until the transition to a permissionless system is achieved, eliminating the need for this intermediate step.
These first Snaps unlock unique use cases that include:
- Transaction insights: Enhancing users’ web3 journey with clearer transaction insights, empowering them to identify potential security concerns and malicious smart contracts before finalizing a transaction.
- Interoperability: MetaMask Snaps broadens web3 usage to encompass non-EVM blockchains such as Bitcoin, Solana, Cosmos, and EVM Layer 2 solutions like StarkNet.
- Notifications: Keeping users informed and engaged with web3-specific notifications directly in MetaMask, ensuring you never miss an essential update or event.
