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.
Bitcoin is widely considered the most secure and decentralized digital asset. But for all its strength as a store of value, it’s historically offered little financial utility due to network limitations, while its ballooning price has kept it from being seen as everyday spending money. Bitcoin DeFi, also known as BTCfi—a term referring to decentralized finance applications built on Bitcoin—is emerging to change that. Sui is one of several layer-1 blockchains now supporting Bitcoin-based functiona...
The price of several tokens tied to Ethereum-based projects in decentralized finance, or DeFi, spiked on Tuesday after the Securities and Exchange Commission signaled that it’s taking steps internally to become more accommodative of the emergent subsector. Ethereum was recently changing hands around $2,700, an 7.2% increase over the past day, according to crypto data provider CoinGecko. Uniswap, Aave, and Sky, were up 23%, 16%, and 15% respectively, rising to $8, $305, and $0.90. On Monday, SEC...
Layer 1 blockchain and smart contract ecosystem Nibiru has launched Block Party, a points program designed to reward real user participation across its DeFi ecosystem.
