MetaMask Plugin Connects Hedera Network with 30 Million Monthly Users

cryptonews.com:

The MetaMask Snaps plugin, which provides access to the popular MetaMask wallet’s 30 million monthly active users, is now available on the open-source, proof-of-stake network Hedera.

This Hedera Wallet Snap plugin, built by Tuum Technologies, enables developers, companies, and individuals to enjoy new benefits beyond MetaMask’s native features, said the press release. Developers can now integrate Hedera’s functionality into MetaMask-based applications.

Donald Bullers, Founder and CEO of Tuum Technologies, told Cryptonews that the prevailing market conditions provide “a significant validation of the enduring presence of decentralized technologies” powered by distributed ledger technology (DLT).

“This acknowledgment is expected to broaden adoption among a previously skeptical demographic, leading to a substantial increase in crypto wallet account activations.”

Consequently, there is a heightened demand for ongoing product innovation in the space to meet the growing needs of users, Bullers said.

Tuum Technologies is a software engineering company and a developer of open-source, decentralized identity solutions.

It created Snaps, which extends the functionality of MetaMask by enabling developers to create custom plugins.

The integration of Hedera into an Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), multichain wallet “opens up numerous doors” for developers, users, and companies to interact with the Hedera network directly through MetaMask applications.

Bullers told Cryptonews that,

“The introduction of Hedera’s native functionality to MetaMask’s 30 million MAUs not only increases interoperability but also extends access to a diverse range of networks, including Hedera.”

This amalgamation, said he, combines MetaMask’s robust security features
