Coinspeaker MetaMask Rolls Out New Toolkit to Enhance Web3 Experience
MetaMask, the leading Web3 self-custodied wallet provider, is introducing new tools to enhance user experience and facilitate easy onboarding processes within the crypto economy. The tools, known as the MetaMask Delegation Toolkit, were unveiled by ConsenSys, the parent firm of MetaMask, at the Ethereum Community Conference (EthCC) event that commenced on July 8 in Brussels.
Addressing Crypto Accessibility
MetaMask said the toolkit aims to address public perceptions regarding crypto accessibility. A poll conducted by ConsenSys with approximately 15,000 participants before the product launch revealed that many perceive crypto as overly complex and challenging for everyday use.
In response to these perceived barriers to adopting Web3 concepts, MetaMask introduced the Delegation Toolkit. This initiative aims to resolve inefficiencies and provide a more accessible pathway for widespread adoption. However, currently, the toolkit supports only the Ethereum ecosystem, although components of the MetaMask Delegation Toolkit could potentially be extended to other chains across the industry.
According to an official press release accompanying the unveiling, ConsenSys highlighted that the toolkit is designed to support software developers in creating innovative solutions and decentralized applications (dApps) within the crypto economy to enhance user engagement.
Developers building applications and other crypto solutions compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) chain can utilize the MetaMask Delegation Toolkit for their projects. The toolkit is fully accessible across various EVM-supported networks, supported by a User Operation Bundler. Some of these protocols include popular blockchains like Arbitrum, Avalanche, Base, Linea, Optimism, and Polygon.
Streamlining Onboarding Processes
In addition to enhancing user experience, the MetaMask toolkit streamlines onboarding processes. It features capabilities that facilitate instant user onboarding without the need for extensions or application downloads. Additionally, the toolkit eliminates the requirement for seed phrase management.
As stated in the press release, the MetaMask toolkit is designed to enhance the user experience by “eliminating user friction completely”. This includes removing pop-ups and constant confirmation prompts, ensuring smoother interactions.
Moreover, the toolkit introduces advanced features for managing gas fees. Users can choose gasless transactions or adjust gas costs as needed, providing greater control and convenience in handling transaction expenses, and accommodating various preferences and requirements effectively.
Further Developments in Web3
MetaMask, along with its parent company ConsenSys, has been in the business of simplifying the Web3 economy and making it accessible globally.
Earlier this month, MetaMask secured a strategic partnership with Meld, a Web3 platform that prides itself as the “next-gen multi-chain crypto wallet for a new age of modern money and digital,” aimed at enhancing crypto adoption in Africa, Europe, and Northern America.
The collaboration will enable MetaMask to support additional payment solutions for buying and selling cryptocurrencies on these continents. ConsenSys also recently announced the acquisition of Wallet Guard, a security tool developed to protect users’ data and funds from malicious actors. The company said the acquisition aims to enhance user protection within the Web3 ecosystem by integrating Wallet Guard’s robust security features directly into MetaMask.
