MetaMask has recently released updates to its mobile app and browser extension, offering its users more control and transparency over their wallet experience. These updates aim to improve load times, optimize wallet usage, and enhance privacy and security.

MetaMask Mobile now features a revamped user interface that allows users to toggle between their wallet and browser in a single tap. It also provides more control and transparency when connecting or disconnecting accounts to dapps.

Previously, when connecting to a dapp, all accounts in the user’s wallet would be automatically linked, but now users have the option to choose which accounts to connect with and disconnecting individual accounts is more straightforward.

Furthermore, MetaMask Mobile now maintains each account and dapp connection separately in browser tabs, allowing for better control over usage. For example, users can use one account as a public-facing account associated with their ENS, while using another account for their private DeFi activities. This separation means that the two accounts won’t be linked to each other, providing more privacy and security.

The updated MetaMask Extension, on the other hand, focuses on providing users with more control over their data and limiting the amount of user data sent to third-party services. Users can now choose any RPC provider during onboarding and opt-out of MetaMask’s default, Infura. They can also disable certain features that send requests to third-party APIs under the “Advanced configuration” settings.

The updates to the MetaMask wallet experience align with the company’s values of providing true ownership and privacy to its users. MetaMask aims to be the standard bearer across crypto wallets for user privacy and security, and data exploitation goes against its core values.

MetaMask also emphasizes that it is committed to protecting its users’ privacy, ensuring that they cannot be exploited by centralized entities. The updates to MetaMask Mobile and Extension provide its users with more agency over their data, offering a better user experience and enhanced privacy and security.

The zero-knowledge #Ethereum Virtual Machine (zkEVM) has been given the name "Linea" by the Ethereum software company ConsenSys, and it has been made available for public testing.

#ConsenSys established a private testnet for its #zkEVM in December, and more than 350,000 transactions have been completed since then. In a blog post, the developers behind Linea said that:

“Linea represents the next evolution of ConsenSys zkEVM, powering a new generation of dapps built on Ethereum.”

Moreover, ConsenSys tweeted that its well-known #MetaMask wallet and Truffle, its developer tools, will be fully integrated into Linea.

Many believe that zero-knowledge technology is the best way to scale blockchains since it lowers transaction costs and speeds up transactions.

A ZK rollup that works with the Ethereum Virtual Machine, the program that runs smart contracts, is known as a zkEVM. Developers may switch their apps over to Ethereum without experiencing any issues if there is a ZK rollup that is compatible with the EVM.

Recently, there has been a lot of activity in the Ethereum ecosystem's zero-knowledge area. Both Matter Labs and Polygon released their own zkEVMs, putting an end to the competition to make Ethereum-compatible ZK rollups available to consumers.

Developers on their Twitter: "There are quite a lot of false rumors about MetaMask snapshot/airdrop/etc. on March 31.

These rumors are not only false, but also dangerous. They create opportunities for scammers and phishers."

On the part of the researchers, we note that the coverage/discussion of unconfirmed rumors can lead to unpleasant consequences, any discussions should be based on at least indirect sources.

#cryptocurrency wallet MetaMask's most recent update included some significant privacy improvements as well as faster loading times for mobile apps.

Thanks to an improved user experience, users of #MetaMask Mobile now switch between their wallet and browser with a single tap. Also, there is more freedom and openness when deciding which user accounts to connect to or disconnect from dApps.

Even though users intended to keep their accounts separate, when they previously linked MetaMask to bitcoin apps, it linked all of their accounts together. It will now maintain separate accounts when connecting to programs, and these connections will even be kept in separate browser tabs.

Less data transmission to third-party services used to run the wallet extension is another benefit of the change.

The first three words of the Secret Recovery Phrase (SRP) must now be confirmed when creating a MetaMask wallet. During the rollout, you can select any RPC provider, and you can opt not to automatically join Infura, a service under the control of ConenSys, which also controls MetaMask.

Also, users can disable specific queries from being sent to outside APIs under the "Advanced configuration" options, providing them more control over their data.

The initiative also states that "genuine ownership and privacy" will be its guiding principles for development.

"The freedom to discontinue using MetaMask at any time, in our opinion, contributes to its worth. Self-custody allows you to import your private key into any wallet interface that supports the common Secret Recovery Phrase and gives you full control over your private key (SRP). In order to prevent you from being taken advantage of by yet another centralized organization, we are devoted to protecting the privacy of our users."

Last month, the MetaMask cross-chain bridge aggregator extended compatibility for two more significant networks. MetaMask Bridges now supports a total of six bridge networks for the well-known online wallet (Ethereum, Avalanche, BNB Chain, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism).
