Metamask allows the use of virtual currency NEAR, with “Snap” implementation

NEAR protocol gains MetaMask compatibility

On the 25th, NEAR Protocol announced a collaboration with Metamask, a widely used cryptocurrency wallet. This collaboration allows MetaMask to directly access various features of the NEAR protocol.

Metamask is a self-managed wallet for managing, transferring, and exchanging digital assets, and is also a popular means of accessing decentralized applications (dApps). It is flexible enough to be used as a browser extension or as a mobile app.

This new development makes a wide range of NEAR Protocol features available directly within MetaMask, including creating a NEAR Protocol account, trading with NEAR tokens and other tokens on the NEAR Protocol, and accessing dApps.

Specifically, through a feature called “NEAR Snap,” users can create a .near username (nickname) within Metamask and access various applications that support NEAR Snap via the “HERE Connector.” Become.

HERE Wallet is responsible for the development of NEAR Snap. Built by an independent team across the Web3 space, the app aims to extend the functionality of the Metamask wallet.

Metamask extension “Snaps”

NEAR Snap is one of the MetaMask extensions called “Snaps” that was implemented last year. With Snap, MetaMask users will be able to customize their wallets and add new features.

In the future, we expect to improve interoperability not only with NEAR but also with non-EVM chains such as Solana, Cosmos, Tezos, Bitcoin, Sui, Aptos, and Algorand.
