| * Based in:
| |
| | |
| * A simple guide to using MetaMask can be found [https://medium.com/@decryptmedia/metamask-the-beginners-guide-6111143f2581 here] (23-9-2020).
| |
| * MetaMask is a browser extension that enables access to web [[Dapp|Dapps]] through popular browsers. MetaMask injects the [[web3]] [[API]] into a given website’s [[JavaScript|javascript]] context, allowing web [[Dapps]] to read from the [[blockchain]]. In addition, MetaMask lets users create and manage identities, allowing users to review web [[DApp|Dapp]] blockchain [[Transaction (Tx)|transactions]] through a UI before approving or rejecting them. This empowers users by removing the requirement of running a local [[node]] to access web [[DApps|Dapps]], as well as enhancing security by requiring verification for all web [[Dapp]] [[transactions]].
| |
| * As web browsers do not natively support interacting with the [[Ethereum (ETH)|Ethereum]] [[Blockchain]], a browser extension called [https://metamask.io/ Metamask] is one way to fill that gap. Metamask will handle the users [[Private Key|private keys]] and allow them to submit [[Transaction (Tx)|transactions]] to the network via an [[Ethereum (ETH)|Ethereum]] [[node]]. Metamask communicates with the sites a user visits by injecting a [[Javascript]] object through which the site can communicate with the [[wallet]] and [[blockchain]]. For mobile users there are applications like [https://www.toshi.org/ Toshi] and [https://www.cipherbrowser.com/ Cipher Browser] that do the same thing on mobile.
| |
| * From the [https://www.coindesk.com/the-coindesk-50 CoinDesk 50]:
| |
| "''MetaMask, a browser extension, has become a Web 3.0 gateway for over 1.5 million people worldwide. A ConsenSys product, MetaMask is an ethereum wallet that also serves as a [[bridge]] between web browsers and the Ethereum blockchain. From the world of [[NFTs]] to [[Defi|DeFi]] apps, MetaMask is one of the most frequent onramps to the variegated [[decentralized]] world. MetaMask sees approximately 1.5 million monthly transactions, with about three quarters initiated by [[decentralized applications]] and the remainder sent as payments by users. It’s browser plugin has been downloaded four million times, while MetaMask’s new mobile app has attracted more than 130,000 users in beta. "The last year has been an insane time for new programmable money apps built on Ethereum. But, you can't go on a road trip without a car and for me, MetaMask has been the most reliable vehicle on my DeFi journey,” one satisfied user, [[DeFi Dad]], said."''

| |
| ''"Today, the [[Ethereum]] [[wallet]] and browser extension is launching MetaMask [[Swaps]], a new feature for [[Firefox]] users (with [[Google|Chrome]] to follow) that allows them to trade the digital assets they hold for just about any token on a [[decentralized exchange]], all while staying within the MetaMask wallet. “We get the best prices because we simultaneously aggregate the most [[liquidity]] sources ([[DEXs]]) and [[MANY|many]] different methods for splitting the order across the DEXs (aggregators),” [[Jacob Cantele]], head of product at MetaMask, told Decrypt. “When we started building this functionality, we planned to bring a single DEX aggregator to MetaMask. We tested every DEX aggregator available, and found that results varied wildly based on the token and size of the swap the user was making.” Working with [[ConsenSys]] Codefi, it created a system that aggregates the aggregators and the DEXs themselves. So it keeps users inside its own UI while sending business to [[DeFi]] protocols like [[Totle]].The list includes not just Totle and [[Uniswap]], but also [[Airswap]] (the ConsenSys DEX that worked with MetaMask on the project), [[0x]], [[1inch (1INCH)|1inch.exchange]], [[dex.ag]], [[Kyber]], [[Paraswap]], and private market makers."''
