MetaMask Snap improves security and interoperability in the Web3 space.

MetaMask, a prominent figure in the blockchain and Web3 domains, recently enhanced its products with a series of security-oriented plugins called MetaMask Snaps. This plugin is designed to extend the functionality of the MetaMask wallet, improving security and user experience.

Joint efforts to strengthen security

One notable development is the collaboration between Tenderly and Sayfer, which culminated in the development of ‘Asset Change Simulation Snap’. This integration leverages Tenderly’s simulation capabilities and Sayfer’s security auditing expertise to enrich MetaMask’s feature set and ensure a more secure and transparent trading environment for users​​.

Expanding the reach of MetaMask

The scope of MetaMask Snaps has been significantly expanded through integration with Hedera, an open source leaderless proof-of-stake network. This was possible thanks to Toowoom Technology, which developed ‘Hedera Wallet Snap’. This integration allows developers to seamlessly integrate Hedera’s functionality into MetaMask-based applications, combining the speed and cost-effectiveness of Hedera with the security features of MetaMask.
