Popular Ethereum wallet MetaMask has unveiled an update to its Web3 onramp, focusing heavily on privacy and encryption.
The wallet, which works hand-in-hand with a browser extension, allows users to store Ethereum and other ERC-20 tokenstokens. Today it announced the new features of its Version 8. And the changes not only include a new “slick” user interface (UI) but “unparalleled privacy control” for when a user connects to a website.
Today we are beginning to roll out a big update: MetaMask Version 8!https://t.co/N5ztv2pZGd
— MetaMask (@metamask_io) July 2, 2020
To use MetaMask, users need to connect either to Chrome, Firefox, Opera or the Brave browser. Once installed, transactions can be made to any Ethereum address.
But wallets that connect to browsers expose the user’s current account to all connected sites. The new version of wallet allows users to “decide what each site has access to.”
“This new feature enables you to easily switch between accounts, so you can control which accounts interact with different sites across the decentralized web,” MetaMask developer Dan Finlay wrote in the announcement.
As part of updated privacy features, a new encryption tool is included in the update—allowing websites to encrypt and decrypt messages intended for Web3 users. Those using MetaMask, who want to send “infrequent, important messages,” can encrypt them.
When Justin Hunter was an MFA student, he wanted to use something like Google Docs—but what he didn't want was Google Docs. The information company's data collection methods were incompatible with user privacy. So, in addition to writing his novel, he taught himself how to code so he could make his own privacy-centric version of the collaboration software. The result was Graphite. Graphite was something of a hit. It was featured in a 2018 Wired writeup about decentralized applications. Lifehacke...
MetaMask Version 8 also aims to help get more users onto Web3. Finlay noted in his post that his team has received feedback from app developers that on-boarding users when connecting through a MetaMask account has been a source of “friction.” In fact, it’s one that some developers have tried to address directly by creating new tools, such as Audius’s Hedgehog, that aim to simplify that process.
MetaMask, which acts as a gateway to Ethereum's dappdapp ecosystem, now wants to help ease that headache as well. Its wallet update now contains an onboarding library “enabling applications to implement their own connect button”—so staying on a Web3 application is a seamless experience.
And security on the platform has been updated, too.
Another treat for fans of #privacy is that we've added a decryption method! Dapps can now enable receiving private messages to MetaMask accounts. pic.twitter.com/JFQWB4Qt1G

MetaMask, which is built on the coding language JavaScript, now has LavaMoat built into the new wallet. LavaMoat is a set of tools aimed at preventing cyber attacks. Projects built on the Ethereum blockchainblockchain are typically more prone to security issues and bugs.
With a whole host of new features it is clear MetaMask is on a mission to make interactions with the Ethereum blockchain as easy as it possibly can.
An AI-generated avatar of Joaquin Oliver, a victim of the 2018 Parkland school shooting, appeared in an interview published by former CNN reporter Jim Acosta as part of a digital campaign for gun reform. The segment, created in collaboration with Oliver’s parents and advocacy group Change the Ref, drew sharp criticism over the ethics of using AI recreations of the deceased in public media. The video was released on what would have been Joaquin’s 25th birthday, Acosta said Monday. In it, Acosta i...
North Korean hacking groups are using the lure of freelance IT work to gain access to cloud systems and steal cryptocurrencies worth millions of dollars, according to separate research from Google Cloud and security firm Wiz. Google Cloud’s H2 2025 Cloud Threat Horizons Report reveals that Google Threat Intelligence Group is “actively tracking” UNC4899, a North Korean hacking unit that successfully hacked two companies after contacting employees via social media. In both cases, UNC4899 gave the...
Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong has a playlist called “Repeat,” consisting of the same trance tune 60 times. Sam Bankman-Fried cries to Yellow by Coldplay. And OpenAI CEO Sam Altman boogies to Get Ur Freak On by Missy Elliott. Well, at least, that’s according to an apparent leak of Spotify celebrity accounts known as the Panama Playlists. The site features several playlists created by tech leaders, politicians, and journalists—though mercifully no one from Decrypt. “I found the real Spotify accou...
