Building Bridges to the Mainstream: Metamask's Role 🗣
MetaMask Bridges enables users to easily participate in web3 by buying, swapping, bridging, and staking crypto.
Metamask Upgrades To L2 Support
MetaMask Bridges has successfully concluded its beta phase and now offers support for Layer 2 (L2) networks, including Arbitrum and Optimism. The bridge aggregator now supports six networks: Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Binance Smart Chain, Polygon, and Avalanche. Available on Portfolio Dapp, MetaMask Bridges enables users to easily participate in web3 by buying, swapping, bridging, and staking crypto. The platform has increased transfer limits to $50,000 per transfer for ETH/WETH, common stablecoins, and native gas tokens, and introduced a 0.875% fee.
MetaMask Bridges integrates directly with Socket and LI.FI to offer a curated set of bridge providers such as Connext, Hop, Celer cBridge, and Polygon Bridge. Users can easily compare price and time estimates for various routes, ensuring a seamless, intuitive, and convenient experience when hopping between different chains. The team behind MetaMask Bridges constantly monitors and adapts to the dynamic bridging ecosystem to provide a secure and safe experience for users.
MetaMask Enables Secure Ethereum Sign-In
MetaMask has announced compatibility with EIP-4361, also known as Sign In with Ethereum, as part of their ongoing effort to enhance confirmation legibility for users. The implementation includes a "domain binding" feature to identify and protect against malicious URLs. In collaboration with SpruceID, MetaMask aims to empower users by giving them more control over their identity and data across digital interactions.
MetaMask Expands Into Gaming
Unity has introduced a "Decentralization" category in its asset store, featuring 13 vetted crypto platforms, including MetaMask, to support developers incorporating Web3 technology into their projects. MetaMask's software development kit (SDK) enables developers to connect users' MetaMask wallets to any game developed on Unity, streamlining decentralization efforts.
HyperPlay also launched its early access platform, HyperPlay.xyz, a game launcher that integrates MetaMask into native games. HyperPlay Gaming's aggregator combines the Epic Games store, GOG.com, and its own store to seamlessly overlay MetaMask into every game. This allows players to use their MetaMask wallet across the entire decentralized web and within games, enabling developers to create enhanced web3 game experiences and more immersive worlds. HyperPlay can be connected to existing MetaMask wallets, and supports both mobile and extension versions, offering an in-game overlay similar to Steam's chat overlay.
