Introducing MetaMask Card: The world’s first Mastercard debit card that enables instant spending directly from your self-custody wallet. We’ve teamed up with @Mastercard and @BaanxGroup to bridge the gap between crypto and daily life.
MetaMask Card allows you to make purchases directly from your wallet, with your crypto instantly converted to fiat currency (e.g., euros, pounds). You can use it for everyday spending via Apple Pay and Google Wallet, retaining full control of your funds until the moment of transaction.
The partnership leverages the scale of Mastercard’s network, the security of MetaMask and Baanx’s extensive experience building technology and card programmes, backed by the speed and cost-efficiency of the @LineaBuild network running on top of Ethereum.
Because this is a grand new adventure, a select number of users in the EU and UK will be the first to experience seamless crypto spending directly from their MetaMask wallet, wherever Mastercard is accepted.
Keep an eye on your MetaMask Portfolio and look for the ‘Card’ tab over the next few weeks to see if you are eligible. portfolio.metamask.io/?utm_source=tw…
If you are not eligible during the pilot phase, but would like to be notified when you may be in the future, you can join our Card waitlist here👇 consensys-software.typeform.com/to/jj3MGjae

1/ User agency in web2 is limited. That is why web3 exists.
We often find our digital experiences changed without consent. But in the web3 era, we're determined to change that by giving you more control over your digital life with @MetaMask Snaps. 🦊🧵
2/ Wallets are vital in managing your web3 interactions, from assets to transactions. But with the vast & fragmented web3 ecosystem, user experience and safety can get compromised.
A universal web3 interface can be a solution - but it must respect user agency. 🔑
3/ Instead of imposing one-size-fits-all solutions, wallets should embrace community ambitions like web browsers do.
The goal? More developer and user agency. Not less.
Today marks a major milestone for MetaMask: we're launching MetaMask Snaps Open Beta, the first step towards our journey to create a fully permissionless ecosystem with MetaMask. 🦊
Read the 🧵for everything you need to know 👇
Some time ago, @Danfinlay had an idea to build a platform that invites the developer community to build their own solutions to the hardest problems in web3, without MetaMask’s approval.
This idea was the start of a vision to build a permissionless ecosystem in which any developer can build a feature for MetaMask and anyone can install and use it, customizing and enhancing their web3 experience.
If you've bridged tokens to the Optimism network using MetaMask Portfolio, you might be eligible for rewards as part of Socket's OP rewards initiative.
Their incentives program has been active since August 2nd for users interacting with bridge aggregator Socket to bridge funds to the Optimism network. You can read more about the program here: medium.com/socketdottech/…
Socket is one of the aggregators we’ve integrated on MetaMask Portfolio to provide secure, reliable bridge routes. You might have interacted with them when bridging to Optimism!
We are aware of the recent article on phishing scams targeting MetaMask users. These scams are not unique to MetaMask; they are a common threat in the web3 ecosystem, and we are always working to keep users safe.
As the web3 ecosystem continues to grow and attract interest, it's important to be vigilant. With increased activity comes the need for enhanced security awareness , as sophisticated phishing scams may appear, even on reputable URLs.
MetaMask employs robust security protocols to protect our users. Our internal security teams, in collaboration with third-party firms, continuously monitor for malicious activities. When such sites are identified, we deploy immediate countermeasures to safeguard our user base.
Starting today, MetaMask users in Canada, Netherlands, Australia, South Africa, and Turkey can now purchase crypto with a reduced level of friction and lower fees.
MetaMask 🦊 aims to be the standard-setter across crypto wallets for user privacy, security, and transparency🧵👇
Starting today, extension users will see an updated experience when creating a new wallet, as well as an update in their privacy and security settings.
We have updated the 🦊 extension to maximize the control you have over your data.
When creating a new wallet, users can click on “Set advanced privacy settings” to change their RPC providers and toggle features that send requests to third party services that help with phishing detection and identifying incoming transactions, among others👇
