MetaMask introduced a social login feature on Aug. 26, allowing users to create and manage crypto wallets using Google or Apple accounts.

According to the announcement, the initiative aims to eliminate the complexity of traditional 12-word seed phrases in its latest crypto adoption initiative.

The self-custodial wallet service streamlined wallet creation into two steps: signing in with a Google o r Apple ID and creating a unique password. Users can then access their wallets without manually managing Secret Recovery Phrases (SRP), which MetaMask generates and stores securely behind the scenes.

MetaMask stated:

“Crypto doesn’t have to be complicated. That’s why we’ve made it easier than ever to manage a MetaMask wallet with our new Social login feature.”

The company added that the social login feature addresses a primary obstacle for crypto newcomers: managing complex seed phrases to secure wallet access.

Keeping it self-custodial

The social login system preserves MetaMask’s self-custodial nature while reducing user friction.

No single entity, including MetaMask, can access all components needed to retrieve users’ Secret Recovery Phrases. Only the combination of social credentials and the user’s unique password can unlock the SRP on local devices.

The architecture ensures that social credentials work in conjunction with user passwords to unlock locally stored wallet information.

The system combines “Web2 familiarity with Web3 security,” according to the company, providing seamless wallet management without compromising asset control.

MetaMask emphasized that wallet security depends on users creating and managing secure passwords. Lost passwords cannot be recovered, maintaining the non-custodial principles that distinguish crypto wallets from traditional financial accounts.

Broader adoption strategy

The social login launch follows MetaMask’s Aug. 21 announcement of its planned stablecoin, MetaMask USD (mUSD), developed in collaboration with Stripe-owned Bridge and decentralized platform M0.

The stablecoin will debut on Ethereum and layer-2 blockchain Linea. It is backed 1:1 by dollar-equivalent assets and integrated into major DeFi protocols.

The crypto wallet MetaMask has nnounced plans to release its own dollar-linked stablecoin, called MetaMask USD (mUSD).

The stablecoin will be issued through Bridge, which is part of Stripe, and will use M0’s platform to manage movement across networks.

mUSD will be built directly into the MetaMask wallet, which gives users an easy way to use dollars on-chain for transfers, trades, and payments.

It will first appear on Ethereum and Linea, Consensys’ Layer-2 network, later in 2025. Consensys expects mUSD to support the growth of Linea’s decentralized finance activity once launched.

The token will be fully backed with dollar reserves and tied into wallet features such as swaps, bridging, and on-ramping. MetaMask is also planning a payment card with Mastercard that will let people spend mUSD for regular purchases.

The idea is to make stable value a built-in part of the wallet rather than a separate asset. For users who hold, trade, lend, or pay through MetaMask, having a stablecoin inside the app is meant to remove extra steps.

Gal Eldar, product lead at MetaMask, said the stablecoin is aimed at making Web3 easier to enter and less expensive to use. According to him, mUSD will cut costs, simplify the first steps for new users, and allow people to send money on-chain, take part in DeFi, and also pay for everyday goods with the upcoming card.

MetaMask, the widely used self-custodial wallet, has revealed plans to launch its own stablecoin, MetaMask USD (mUSD), later this year.

According to an Aug. 21 statement, mUSD will initially debut on Ethereum and Linea L2, where it will become a key component of Linea’s growing DeFi ecosystem.

The project will be developed in collaboration with Bridge, a Stripe-owned stablecoin issuer, and M0, a decentralized platform providing on-chain liquidity infrastructure.

MetaMask’s mUSD

According to MetaMask, the stablecoin would be fully backed 1:1 with high-quality, highly liquid dollar equivalent assets.

The asset would also be integrated into major protocols, including lending platforms, decentralized exchanges, and custodial services. MetaMask expects these integrations to generate deeper liquidity and increase its ecosystem’s total value locked (TVL).

The wallet service provider emphasized that its users can leverage mUSD for seamless swaps, transfers, and bridging within the wallet, while the MetaMask card will enable real-life spending by the end of 2025.

Gal Eldar, MetaMask’s Product Lead, described the launch as a step toward reducing barriers for people entering the Web3 ecosystem. According to him, mUSD will let users bring their funds on-chain, make them productive, and use them wherever they want, thereby creating value in wallets and beyond.

Stablecoin ecosystem growth

The mUSD rollout coincides with a shifting regulatory environment in the US regarding the $285 billion sector currently dominated by Tether’s USDT.

Crypto advisory firm Castle Labs pointed out that the recent approval of the GENIUS Stablecoin Act has signaled a more supportive framework for digital dollar alternatives. According to the firm, this legislation could accelerate the launch of new stablecoins and encourage existing projects to expand their on-chain presence.

However, despite the growing adoption of the nascent industry, stablecoins remain heavily concentrated on centralized exchanges.

Considering this, Castle Labs noted that the long-term success of any stablecoin project would depend on its liquidity, real-world usability, and integration across wallets and DeFi platforms.

With this integration, the total number of supported blockchains in MetaMask rises to 11, further strengthening its position as a leading multi-chain wallet. A dedicated Sei section within the MetaMask Portfolio now offers users a smooth entry point to the network’s gaming, DeFi, and NFT ecosystem.

Sei’s Ecosystem Growth Fuels Investor Optimism

The timing of this integration couldn’t be better for the token. The network has recently achieved significant growth milestones: over 4.2 million daily transactions, a TVL surpassing $600 million, and 11 million monthly active users, all since launching its EVM-compatible chain less than a year ago.

The tokenimproved accessibility through MetaMask is expected to attract more developers and users alike, expanding the reach of its high-performance blockchain infrastructure. According to Justin Barlow of the Sei Development Foundation, this marks a strategic leap toward making Sei the “best EVM ecosystem.”

Market interest in the SEI token has already responded positively, with a 2.5% uptick post-announcement, and more upside could be in play.

Consensys, the Ethereum infrastructure company behind the popular MetaMask wallet, said it has acquired Web3Auth, a provider of wallet infrastructure, in a move aimed at improving usability and developer accessibility across its platforms.

Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

The acquisition is designed to modernize MetaMask’s onboarding experience and tackle one of the most persistent challenges facing self-custodial crypto wallets: seed phrase management. According to Consensys, internal data indicates that 35% of MetaMask users fail to back up their seed phrases — a key vulnerability that can result in permanent loss of funds.

Web3Auth’s technology, already integrated across some 8,200 decentralized applications, offers login and recovery tools that mirror Web2-style user flows. With this integration, MetaMask users will have the option to access wallets without relying solely on seed phrases, aligning with a broader industry push toward “account abstraction” — the idea that crypto wallets should offer the same ease of use and safety nets found in traditional apps.

“This integration enhances MetaMask’s capabilities significantly, embodying our belief that the best Web3 wallets will seamlessly integrate infrastructure that supports a wide range of empowering features,” said Joseph Lubin, chief executive of Consensys and a co-founder of Ethereum. “These include frictionless onboarding, customizable interfaces, extensive ecosystem connectivity reminiscent of a mycelium network, configurable security for varying needs, and maximal protections in high-security contexts.”

The acquisition also targets developers building within the MetaMask ecosystem. By incorporating Web3Auth’s embedded software development kits (SDKs), Consensys said it aims to simplify the developer experience and offer more flexible tools for integrating blockchain into consumer-facing applications.

“The future of using web3 is going to be full of embedded wallets that enable blockchain integrations to be nearly invisible, and minimize user interactions to the meaningful ones,” said Dan Finlay, the co-founder of MetaMask, in the press release. “Together, we think we can help build the best of both worlds: a decentralized web that is invisible as much as it can be, but can show up when a user is ready to tap into its power.”

Popular self-custodial cryptocurrency wallet MetaMask is set to undergo a significant overhaul.

The update introduces a revamped user interface, support for additional blockchain networks, and changes to transaction processing. Notably, Bitcoin and Solana will be natively supported for the first time, allowing users to manage assets across multiple blockchains within a single wallet. Additionally, a new gas abstraction system will enable users to pay transaction fees using a variety of tokens, reducing reliance on ETH.

The update also includes the launch of the MetaMask Card, which will allow users to spend cryptocurrency directly at participating merchants. These changes aim to improve the wallet’s functionality and accessibility whilst maintaining its commitment to decentralised self-custody.

The popular Ethereum (ETH)-focused crypto wallet MetaMask plans to introduce native Bitcoin (BTC) and Solana (SOL) support in the coming months.

MetaMask announced this week that Solana would be added in May, which represents the wallet’s first native non-Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) support.

The project plans to add Bitcoin compatibility sometime in Q3.

SOL defied a wavering crypto market on Friday and surged by 7.5%. The sixth-ranked crypto asset by market cap is trading at $147.49 at time of writing.

MetaMask announced the new features amid a swelling user base. In a statement issued in February, the wallet’s developer Consensys said that the project’s monthly active users (MAU) rose from 19 million to more than 30 million between September 2023 and January 2024. That’s an increase of over 55%.

The number of monthly active users nearly matches MetaMask’s historical high of 31.7 million recorded in January 2022.

The wallet also recently inked a partnership with retail trading giant Robinhood that enables MetaMask users to purchase crypto assets directly within the wallet using Robinhood’s order engine.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) also recently agreed to drop its lawsuit against Consensys after suing the blockchain software firm over MetaMask last year. The regulator had claimed the wallet acted as an unregistered securities broker.

Over time, the company hopes to remove gas fees entirely to make transactions smoother for users. As MetaMask put it:

Longer term, we believe we can eliminate gas as a user-facing concern in nearly all interactions.

A new feature called batched transactions (ERC-5792) is also on the way. This will let users complete multiple transaction steps, such as approving and swapping tokens, with a single click.

Additionally, MetaMask is shifting from Externally Owned Accounts to smart contract-based accounts. This upgrade will introduce new ways to manage assets while improving security.

Furthermore, MetaMask is redesigning its home screen to display all assets across different blockchains in one place. This update aims to simplify navigation by removing the need to switch between networks. The company explained the reason behind the change, saying, “Users don’t want to think about another game mechanic every time they make an action”.

]]> https://earlybirdsinvest.com/metamask-moves-beyond-evm-targets-gas-free-crypto-trading/feed/ 0 22566 The popular Crypto Wallet Metamask announces new roadmap https://earlybirdsinvest.com/the-popular-crypto-wallet-metamask-announces-new-roadmap/ https://earlybirdsinvest.com/the-popular-crypto-wallet-metamask-announces-new-roadmap/#respond Fri, 28 Feb 2025 02:32:41 +0000 https://earlybirdsinvest.com/the-popular-crypto-wallet-metamask-announces-new-roadmap/

Metamask, a popular and independent crypto wallet for the Ethereum (ETH) network, shared the surge in the announcement on Thursday, aimed at improving the user experience of the wallet.

Part of Metamask’s improved roadmap includes adding smart contract functionality to your current wallet. At the moment, Metamask is an externally owned account (EOA), a type of wallet controlled by the public and private keys. One of the main downfalls of EOAS is that it is affected by human error. This means that if you forget your private key, you will lose crypto holdings forever on that account. Another type of wallet that exists in Ethereum is the Contract Account (CAS), which is controlled by code and has security checks to validate transactions.

In a blog post shared at Esten, North America’s largest Ethereum conference, the MetaMask team said: “Smart contract-based accounts can solve many problems. When users define terms from their programmable accounts, they greatly expand the way users represent agents in the way that their code enforces.”

One of these new features aimed at making the Metamask user experience easier includes the ERC-5792, which is based on the current feature, Smart Transacions. When called ERC-5792, or batching transactions, users can combine certain steps when they sign off for a transaction such as “authorization + swap” with one click.

Dan Finlay, co-founder of Metamask, told Coindesk, “Give me everything you want in turn. Present it to the user in a nice, unified way. Users pay one gas fee for a series of events, then just one block of the entire series of operations.”

Meta Mask Card

The Metamask team shared that Metamask debit cards will be available in some US states starting in mid-March. The card has been in production for several months and was initially available to users in the UK and EU.

Connect to your Metamask Wallet and spend the crypto.

“You can earn staking rewards and yields with your favorite protocols with your favorite tokens, and make the funds available to use Mastercard wherever you want to spend it, wherever you want to tap,” the team wrote in BlogPost.

More support

As part of the theme of making the user experience easier, the MetaMask team will add support for Bitcoin (BTC) and Solana (SOL) to their wallets. This means that users can hold a variety of crypto assets in one place.

“So, they deliver some of the most popular blockchains at the same time, but also ensure that they smooth out every part of the interface that allows for seamless addition of new blockchains,” Finlay said in an interview.
