MultiversX Directly Available Through MetaMask: Fastest Lane to the Ecosystem

MetaMask was the first truly functional product of its kind. It rapidly became the wallet of choice when it comes to Ethereum and proxy ecosystems. 

Today, we're publicly releasing MultiversX Snap, an audited add-on that MetaMask users can install for the most frictionless way to access ecosystem products, network innovations, and protocol advantages in terms of general user experience.

MetaMask Snaps greatly improve portability, enabling the quick derivation of a MultiversX wallet from your existing seed phrase with just a few confirmation steps. That means near-instant onboarding without yet another backup wallet. Soon enough, you will be able to interact with most of the dApps on MultiversX directly from your MetaMask wallet as ecosystem builders gradually integrate it. You can get it from any ecosystem app supporting Metamask by just connecting to it.

POV: MetaMask user, new to MultiversX

If you are not familiar with MultiversX, it's about time to get in the know! You likely know the drill when it comes to new-generation blockchains: fast, cheap, and overall slightly better across the board.

That's what we call, at best, optimizations. We are building for the greater good of crypto, with a strong belief that the work laid down today is the foundation of tomorrow (read as decades).

One pain point that we think is a big blocker for the mass adoption of this amazing technology is user safety. On MultiversX, tokens aren’t logs in smart contract records, but native assets with the same operating flow as EGLD, the native network coin. To put it differently, if you ever receive an airdrop on MultiversX, you don't have to be afraid to interact with the tokens because draining concerns are a thing of the past here.

While making token interactions safe is a must for the future of tokenization, this is just one side of the story. We’ve also made wallets unbreakable to protect users from phishing attempts with an on-chain 2FA solution. With the MultiversX Snap, you can start setting one up immediately.

‍POV: EVM developer, MuliversX curious

First, we’ve put together an interactive tutorial with the basics of the MultiversX Snap. Developers can play around with it to get started and follow with the integration docs.

If you've been around the Ethereum landscape, you’ve likely heard (and know) a few things about Sharding. No, it didn’t get lost on research forums. It’s here and live, on MultiversX. The past few years of performance inconsistencies, fee spikes to hundreds of dollars or fragmentation through subpar solutions have proven that (full) sharding is not just something that’s nice to have, it’s an absolute must.

Other noteworthy benefits to developing on MultiversX:

• Integrated mobile distribution via xPortal
• Royalties: 30% SC gas returned to SC authors
• WASM-based VM: fastest in the space
• Tokens (FT, SFT, NFT) natively embedded into the protocol
• Consistent UX thanks to horizontal scalability
• Sovereign Chains for specialized and complex apps
• Builders Hub: tool and resource maturity

Take the leap and let’s build the future on-chain!
