Consensys, a leading blockchain and web3 software company has announced the launch of the first iteration of MetaMask Snaps to the public in Nigeria.
MetaMask Snaps will revolutionise the way users interact with MetaMask, the world’s leading self-custody web3 platform, offering them unprecedented control and customisation.
The company said:”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, one of which was created by a Nigerian builder, that provides utility around transaction insights, interoperability with non-EVM blockchains like Bitcoin, and notifications.
As the initial phase of realizing this vision, MetaMask Snaps will launch with a total of 34 Snaps. These first unlock unique use cases that include transaction insights which will enhance users’ web3 journey with clearer transaction insights, empowering them to identify potential security concerns and malicious smart contracts before finalizing a transaction.
