Metamask is undergoing a transformation! 💱

They've introduced Metamask Snaps, a new feature that will revolutionize the old wallet. 🔥

Here are the 5 must-have snaps! 🧵👇 Image
First, bookmark this THREAD! for later reference!

Metamask Snaps aims to address a significant drawback of Metamask: the lack of modularity.

Indeed, the wallet lacks originality and has very few features compared to its competitors!

Snaps aim to solve these issues!
In practical terms, Snaps is a system that integrates with Metamask, allowing users to add modules to their wallets.

It's open source, meaning any developer can create and propose their own Snaps!

These snaps enhance Metamask, enabling it to fill these gaps. Image
These Snaps will fill many gaps, particularly in terms of security and multichain support.

With Snaps, you'll be able to interact with more blockchains like Starknet, Bitcoin, Cosmos .... .

While this feature is still in beta, many Snaps are already usable.
To install a Snap, it's straightforward:
1- Visit the Snaps marketplace.
2- Select the module that interests you.
3- Click "Add to Metamask."

Let's take a look at the top 5 Snaps I recommend using. 👇
1- WEB 3 SECURITY SNAP

Security is paramount in DeFi! This Snap assesses the risk associated with each transaction using AI.

It assigns a risk rating to each transaction, helping you avoid unpleasant surprises!

You would be surprised to see everything AI can detect!
2- BLOCKFENCE

You can never be too safe.

Blockfence is another security Snap that analyzes each transaction before it's signed.

By checking addresses and contracts, this Snap will flag an error message if it detects a fraudulent transaction.
3- SHAPESHIFT MULTICHAIN

This Snap is truly groundbreaking! Until now, Metamask only allowed interaction with EVM-compatible blockchains.

This Snap will enable you to interact with a dozen non-EVM blockchains, including Bitcoin, Cosmos, Osmosis, and more.
4- WALLET GUARD

Back to security! This Snap clearly displays what's leaving and entering your wallet for each transaction.

Say goodbye to transactions that drain your wallet, with this Snap, you'll know what to expect in advance!
5- STARKNET

Now, you can interact with Starknet directly using Metamask!

Previously, this was only possible with specialized Starknet wallets.

This Snap is important as it could facilitate the implementation of Account Abstraction on Metamask.
That’s a wrap!

I’ve held $HYPE since TGE, but I’m selling now ...

The fundamentals are still solid, but there’s a serious threat ahead.

My concerns about @HyperliquidX. 🧵🔽 Image
It might sound strange to say this while Hyperliquid is at its peak.

$HYPE just hit a new ATH, and TVL also reached an ATH of nearly $4B.

But despite all that strength, there's a massive risk, one that could seriously affect volume, TVL, and ultimately price. Image
Hyperliquid currently has around 10K to 20K daily active users out of a total of ~600K.

A core group of 20K–30K users generates close to $1 billion in revenue, and a large portion of them are U.S.-based.

They’re the backbone of Hyperliquid. But that’s about to change. Image

Wars create massive wealth shifts.

The Middle East conflict will move markets.

Bitcoin, gold, oil, stocks, where’s the money going next? 🧵🔽 Image
The conflict between Israel and Iran is far more economically impactful than most realize, even more so than the war between Russia and Ukraine.

The main reason is location; Israel and Iran are close to the Strait of Hormuz, through which 30% of the world’s oil supply flows. Image
If Iran feels cornered, it could block the Strait of Hormuz in retaliation, a move that would severely damage the global economy.

This would trigger massive energy price spikes worldwide, far exceeding the impact the Russia–Ukraine war had on wheat or European gas markets. Image

My favorite strategy on @SonicLabs.

55% APY + neutral (only stablecoin) + Sonic points + Silo points.

Step-by-step video guide 🧵🔽 Image
I’ve tested several strategies on @SonicLabs, but this one is by far my favorite.

To start, get some USDC on Sonic. There are several bridges you can use, I recommend @rhinofi, @StargateFinance, or @deBridgeFinance. Image
Next, go to @Rings_Protocol:

+ Deposit USDC to receive scUSD
+ Stake scUSD to get stkscUSD
+ Wrap stkscUSD into wstkscUSD

Just from this step alone, you’re earning 5.8% APY, and that’s only the beginning.

Good thing Sonic is here, or there wouldn’t be much to do.

March is gonna be huge for Sonic farmers.

A few solid plays can make a big difference. How do you find them? 🧵🔽 Image
First things first, go to @SonicLabs points dashboard and connect your wallet to activate the points system.

If you want, you can use my referral code EDRG20.

When it comes to strategies, you need to monitor the market to spot the best plays; high APYs don't stay long.
For example, it was obvious that Pendle’s arrival on Sonic would bring opportunities.

They launched scUSD with a 2.5% APY, while across the market, scUSD was yielding 14% APY.

Pendle’s APY was set to stabilize at 14%, making YT a 4x return opportunity in just two days. Image

Your private key is at risk!

Having a Ledger doesn’t mean you’re 100% safe! No wallet is entirely foolproof.

This is the only way to fully secure your assets (step-by-step guide) 🧵🔽 Image
A private key is simply a 256-bit random number, meaning a value between 1 and 2²⁵⁶ - 1.

This number is so large that, assuming true randomness, the chances of two people generating the same private key are effectively zero. Image
Unfortunately, true randomness doesn’t exist in the digital world.

Computers follow deterministic algorithms, meaning their randomness is pseudo-random, it can be complex but theoretically predictable if someone knows the initial state and the algorithm used. Image

I'm disappointed by the $TRUMP memecoin launch!

Once again, the rich profit off retails.

Here’s why you should avoid it 🧵🔽 Image
No, I’m not talking about just another $TRUMP memecoin.

This time, it’s @realDonaldTrump himself who officially launched a memecoin in his name, no doubt about it!

I’d really like to believe it was his son playing with his phone while he slept, but it doesn’t seem like it.
Within just a few hours, $TRUMP reached a $13B FDV (maybe more now), making it the top coin on Solana, surpassing $BONK!

It already has over 200K holders, marking the fastest growth of any coin since the creation of Bitcoin! Image
