MetaMask is an open-source, free extension. It does not need users to run an Ethereum node, and users can directly interact with apps (decentralized applications). MetaMask offers wallet services along with Dapps access functionality. The users can enjoy all the product’s features and the wallet services. Two versions of the Metamask are available: One is for the standalone clients that run on MacOSX, Windows, and Linux operating systems, and another is Google Chrome or Firefox add-ons.
MetaMask is an extension for #GoogleChrome browsers. But it is compatible with Opera and Firefox browsers. It has the feature to store Ether or ERC20-based cryptocurrencies on a user’s device along with the interaction with dapps. The users can use these stored cryptos in various dapps without registering another account.
Users can download and install the MetaMask on their devices and access it after completing the logging-in process. They can view all the transactions and balances, eliminating the need to download the entire blockchain, which is time-consuming.
As the MetaMask extension does not store anything on local computers, the risk of malware or virus attacks minimizes, ensuring the protection of personal information.
Built-in exchange service: This extension offers a built-in exchange service and acts as a wallet to store, buy, sell or trade Ethereum. This extension connects users with their MyEtherWallet, eliminating the need to enter private keys at each transaction.
Interaction with smart contracts on the Ethereum network: This feature simplifies the transaction execution process, like creating and sending tokens.
There is no need for the internet to access: The account’s private key is stored in the user’s local device; users can access ETh even without the internet.
Compatible with other dapps: This extension is compatible with dapps like Cryptokitties, and users can see the game progress and insert ethers using this extension.
