Crypto wallet MetaMask hit the 1 million monthly active users last month on the rise of decentralized finance (DeFi) apps, DAOs, and blockchain games, the firm said in a release today.
MetaMask has exceeded 1 Million Monthly Active Users! 🎉We’re humbled to be supporting such a curious, vibrant and passionate community. To learn more about our growth journey, check out our latest blog post 👉 https://t.co/BJJFtQtznl#metamask #ethereum #web3
— MetaMask (@metamask_io) October 5, 2020
MetaMask is an extension for accessing Ethereum-enabled distributed applications or "dapps" using popular browsers like Google Chrome. The extension can “read” Ethereum code on any website, providing users with a seamless and accessible took to interact with various dapps and blockchain products.
The firm said that significant growth in the “adoption of DAOs, Web3 games and the rapid consumer uptake of DeFi products” cause an uptick in user growth and adoption, especially as users found they could use one dapp to access hundreds of others.
MetaMask’s user growth closely mirrors the rise of DeFi applications this year. In fact, a chart showing the “total value locked” (TVL)—a measure of the number of cryptocurrencies stored and staked on a particular dapp—is similar to MetaMask's rise in user growth, as the image below shows:
“This 2020 curve parallels the trend in DeFi adoption, indicating that new users are coming to MetaMask specifically to participate in the decentralized finance revolution,” noted MetaMask on the correlation.
Ethereum wallet MetaMask released a private beta version of its upcoming mobile browser yesterday, giving developers a chance to provide feedback. The mobile browser will let users access the Ethereum blockchain, store funds and use decentralized applications, or dapps. This is a mobile version of the desktop MetaMask wallet, which similarly allows users to interact with the Ethereum blockchain. Currently the desktop version has more than 1.3 million users and recorded 1 million transactions in...
MetaMask said cryptocurrency storage is a thinly-used feature in the current market, “When you think about it, people don’t really want a wallet. They want to invest, sell, lend, borrow."
“They want to use sites like Uniswap, Yearn, Curve, Maker, and Aave to get that job done. MetaMask is simply the connective tissue," it added.
Meanwhile, MetaMask said its newly launched mobile app, called MetaMask Mobile, brought in new users into the broader crypto ecosystem. It noted the top four countries, in order of the volume of mobile users, were the US, India, Nigeria, and the Philippines.
Jason Lee is the business development and community lead at MetaMask, the browser extensions that acts as a gateway to the decentralized web. His role has helped MetaMask garner more than 1.3 million users, which is more than the total number of recorded users for all Dapps on the Ethereum network in any 24 hour period. So he knows a thing or two about growing a startup. In the below interview, Lee explains how he went from an FAA Aircraft Technician to MetaMask's head business honcho, and why a...
Cryptocurrency applications have got a rap for being overly complicated or too difficult for an average user (who may not have the technical skills required). But MetaMask’s growth story shows simplicity could be the key to change that.
Andreessen Horowitz and the DeFi Education Fund, two powerful forces in D.C.’s crypto policy scene, formally asked the SEC Wednesday to create a safe harbor that would shield developers of decentralized apps—even those who work at centralized businesses with control over said apps—from legal risk of violating securities laws. The proposal, if enacted, would ensure that companies and developers creating popular types of decentralized apps (also known as dapps), like decentralized exchanges, self-...
Pump.fun’s token surged on Monday as the meme coin launchpad clawed back market share from LetsBonk, its biggest competitor on Solana in recent weeks. PUMP recently changed hands around $0.0036, a 20% increase over the past day, according to crypto data provider CoinGecko. The token’s price has still fallen 46% from an all-time high of $0.006812 last month, notched shortly after its highly anticipated debut. For over a year, Pump.fun had served as the go-to place for people to speculate on meme...
The Uniswap Foundation published a proposal on Monday to establish a new legal entity in Wyoming for Uniswap Governance, the decentralized exchange’s governing body of members, delegates, and token holders. Under the proposal, Uniswap Governance would become structured as a Wyoming Decentralized Unincorporated Nonprofit Association (DUNA), allowing the group to operate with greater legal certainty, according to Uniswap Foundation General Counsel Brian Nistler. “Uniswap Governance [has] never had...
