$EOS Simplified: MetaMask Integration, Unicove 2.0, and Free Account Creation
This past June the Greymass team was entrusted to kickstart new initiatives related to EOS Middleware as part of the new EOS tokenomics. This type of work is focused on the tools in the middle that connect you – the user, to your account on the blockchain. We decided that our initial goals would be to improve onboarding for new users, reduce friction and cognitive load while using the blockchain, and build an open source platform to serve as the foundation for current and future improvements.
As a first step towards achieving these goals, today we’re excited to announce the release of a number of projects:
The EOS Wallet for Metamask allows users of the popular MetaMask wallet to interact with the EOS Native network alongside EOS EVM and exSat. Unicove 2.0 to serve as a portal into the EOS Network offering information, account management, and block explorer functionality. A new EOS Account Creation platform to distribute free accounts to new users, integrated into Unicove, for use with MetaMask and other wallets. These systems, when combined, create a new onboarding experience for the EOS Network.

For someone interested in EOS with general blockchain knowledge, this single URL can be shared to provide information and the steps to get started. This page prompts the installation of the EOS Wallet for MetaMask followed immediately by the creation of a free account. It then leads the new user directly into the management of their new account and ways to use the network. From there, they can use their new account on any other app built on the EOS Network.
This is the first of many experiences we will build into Unicove to make EOS and its apps easier. Unicove will become the homepage for many as it attracts new users and helps them discover everything that’s possible on EOS.
May the spirit of the season fill your homes with love, your hearts with gratitude, and your days with laughter. Wishing you all a holiday filled with cherished moments and precious memories. ❤️

Read on if you’re interested in a general overview of these 3 projects.
EOS Wallet for MetaMask
EOS Wallet is a MetaMask Snap that allows MetaMask to directly interact with the EOS Network. With MetaMask installed, the EOS Wallet can be added with one click from a special landing page on Unicove . Future releases will automatically be detected and managed from this page.
The EOS Wallet for MetaMask serves as a transaction signer and is meant for use with a companion dapp, e.g. Unicove. Newly created accounts will be backed up automatically as part of the normal MetaMask backup process. The keys are derived using the EOS BIP44 coin type from MetaMask’s secure key storage. EOS Developers can integrate MetaMask into their applications using the MetaMask Wallet Plugin .
EOS Account Creation
The EOS Account Creation platform was designed to help new users get started with the EOS Wallet for MetaMask. This platform allows users to create a new account at no cost by authenticating with one of the supported social logins. This process can be initiated from a platform like Unicove or a supported wallet.
Deep Dive into Spring 1.0 and Savanna: A New Era for EOS Consensus
In a recent fireside chat, Areg Hayrapetian, Director of Engineering at the EOS Network Foundation and Principal Architect of Savanna, outlined the advancements brought about by the Spring 1.0 release and the development of the Savanna consensus algorithm. His insights provided a thorough explanation of how Savanna addresses key limitations of the legacy EOS consensus model and introduces cryptographic, architectural, and performance improvements to the blockchain.
