MetaMask now supports Cardano integration via NuFi’s Snap Wallet
Leading Ethereum wallet MetaMask has announced support for the Cardano blockchain through a new integration with Cardano Wallet Snap, developed by Web3 self-custody wallet provider NuFi.
This integration allows MetaMask users to interact with the Cardano network, offering a simple way to manage native Cardano assets and use decentralized applications (dApps) on the blockchain.
Cardano Wallet Snap Integration with MetaMask
The integration leverages MetaMask’s Snap feature, which allows third-party developers to enhance MetaMask’s functionality by adding custom extensions. Through the NuFi Cardano Wallet Snap, MetaMask users can now create Cardano accounts, generate Cardano keys using their existing MetaMask seed phrase, and manage their native Cardano tokens, including ADA. With this new feature, MetaMask users can also purchase ADA with credit cards or exchange other cryptocurrencies for ADA, making it easier for Ethereum wallet users to explore the Cardano network. This initiative, funded by Catalyst, simplifies the onboarding process to Cardano for MetaMask’s broad user base.
Easy setup for Cardano Wallet Snap
The integration is designed for ease of use and requires no technical knowledge. Users simply need to install Cardano Wallet Snap, visit the NuFi platform, and connect MetaMask to the extended wallet. Once connected, users are provided with a Cardano wallet and address, allowing them to interact with Cardano dApps. Transactions made through Cardano Wallet Snap must first be approved within Snap and then confirmed through the MetaMask interface before being sent to the Cardano blockchain. The feature is available in MetaMask version 12.0.0 and later, providing users with a familiar interface for interacting with the Cardano ecosystem.
Growing support for Cardano after Chang's hard fork
This development comes following the recent completion of Cardano’s Chang hard fork, a major upgrade that marks the network’s transition into the Voltaire era. Since the upgrade, Cardano has garnered significant support from several cryptocurrency projects, including Polkadot, which has adopted Cardano’s on-chain governance model. Additionally, rumors suggest that DexScreener, a well-known decentralized exchange (DEX) analytics platform, could soon support Cardano. Reports indicate that DexScreener is in talks with Cardano-based DEX platforms such as Minswap, Saturn Swap, and Dex Hunter for a potential integration. Now that MetaMask’s Cardano Wallet Snap is live, this latest move is expected to further boost the adoption of the Cardano blockchain by making it more accessible to users who are already familiar with the MetaMask wallet.
