Consensys is preparing to release MetaMask Snaps, a feature that aims to transform the popular crypto wallet into a cross-chain decentralized application (DApp) store.
The move was revealed by Simon Morris, Consensys Head of Strategy, during an interview at Korea Blockchain Week.
MetaMask Snaps aims to enhance the Web3 wallet’s functionality by allowing third-party developers to create DApps, or Snaps, that can be integrated into the wallet. Morris likened the upgrade to an „Apple App Store for the crypto wallet,” indicating that Snaps would undergo rigorous security checks and whitelisting processes conducted by Consensys developers for the initial rollout.
Eventually, the plan is to shift to a more permissionless framework, akin to releasing web applications.
One of the defining features of Snaps is its cross-chain functionality, which Morris said would make MetaMask compatible with non-Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) chains like Bitcoin, Solana, Avalanche, and Starknet.
