This Is Huge:

$NEAR becomes the first non-EVM chain with @MetaMask compatibility 🤯

No need to create a NEAR wallet - just use your Metamask and come play with NEAR dapps directly

By @proximityfi & @NEARProtocol

Some notes:

- The integration is done entirely on the Near side via smart contracts using Ethereum accounts

- The plugin codename is nETH

- This is an early-stage alpha version, so there're still some technicalities

- Contract is already audited

- Unofficial integration

2/7

The team is improving the UX so that you get the most seamless experience

1. Use a one-click setup
2. Be automatically headed to the Rainbow bridge & get your funds bridged to NEAR
3. Enjoy NEAR dapps w/ Metamask

Done. You won't even know what's happening under the hood!

If you are even more curious, join NEAR's June Townhall on Sunday (12th) to catch the full demo

You will see how Matt supplies $ETH as collateral in @burrowcash and borrows $USDT directly using Metamask, without even knowing what a NEAR Wallet is

5/7

This is just another milestone for the $NEAR ecosystem

And it shows how teams are working on bringing more people into the eco by creating seamless infrastructure & tooling and by focusing on users' needs
