MetaMask, the most widely used Web3 wallet, has announced the launch of a new mechanism that enables its use outside the EVM ecosystem.
According to the MetaMask team, Snaps is a significant step towards making MetaMask fully decentralized and permissionless.
MetaMask Outside The EVM Ecosystem
The new software mechanism is called Snaps and aims to foster the wallet’s use on blockchain networks that are not natively compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). So far, MetaMask has been primarily associated with Ethereum and Ethereum-compatible blockchains. These include Polygon, Arbitrum, BNB Chain, and Optimism. The introduction of Snaps will enable MetaMask’s use on non-EVM compatible blockchains such as Cosmos, Tezos, Algorand, Starknet, and Solana.
“Today marks a major milestone for MetaMask: We’re launching MetaMask Snaps Open Beta, the first step towards our journey to create a fully permissionless ecosystem with MetaMask.”
