METAMASK REVIEW: FEATURES, SECURITY, PROS & CONS

 * Louise Elizabeth
 * December 1, 2022

MetaMask is a crypto wallet & gateway to connect to Blockchain Dapps. In this
guide, I explain how to install, set up & use MetaMask wallet, plus how to
connect MetaMask to supported Blockchains such as Ethereum Layer 2, BSC and
Avalanche.

MetaMask is a browser extension that you can download and install on the likes
of Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, and Brave.

The wallet allows you to manage your crypto assets, as well as assist you in
connecting to decentralized apps (or DApps) which are rapidly increasing in
popularity and include the likes UniSwap, PancakeSwap, Maker, and
Compound.Finance to name a few.




METAMASK REVIEW





WHAT IS METAMASK?

MetaMask is a cryptocurrency wallet and gateway to blockchain Dapps. Created
by ConsenSys in 2016, MetaMask is now trusted by over 21 million users worldwide
to keep their data and crypto secure. 

Predominately created as an Ethereum-based wallet and more recently become
popular with Ethereum Layer-2s like Arbitrum/Optimism and alternative networks
such as Binance Smart Chain.

The wallet is most commonly used as a browser extension, with over 4 million
downloads and provides users with a gateway to using blockchain apps. However,
MetaMask mobile is also available for Android or iPhone where users can sync the
app with the account on their desktop in a matter of seconds. 

MetaMask equips you with everything you need to manage your digital assets
including a key vault, secure login, token wallet, and token exchange.

With the ability to connect to both Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain-based
DApps, users can use their tokens to trade on decentralized exchanges, play
games, and spend in gambling applications. It’s also a great entry point for
DEFI, providing users with a way to interact with decentralized finance
applications such as the likes of UniSwap, PancakeSwap, Compound, or Zapper.Fi.








METAMASK PRIVATE KEYS

MetaMask is a non-custodial wallet, therefore if you lose your private key/seed
phrase, MetaMask cannot help you to recover your wallet or funds. When creating
your MetaMask account, you will be provided with your12-word phrase. You will
need towrite down and store your seed phrase offline, as this will be the
onlyway to recover your funds should your device crash or your browser reset

Also never share your seed phrase or your private key with anyone, as you will
lose complete control over your wallet.





WHAT IS A WEB3 WALLET?

You’ll often hear MetaMask described as a Web3 wallet. This is because MetaMask
enables users to interact with decentralized apps (dApps). In fact, MetaMask is
also the most widely supported wallet across the larger DeFi ecosystem.

Web3 Wallets are the software that allows you to interact with Web 3.0, a third
generation of the internet. Web 3.0 applications are mostly referred to as
decentralized applications or dApps and these are often powered by the
blockchain. DApps that exist on the blockchain will often need the user’s tokens
to use its features, such as game tokens, trade, stake, earn interest, etc. By
using MetaMask you are able to use these dApps while keeping control of your
tokens.





IS METAMASK SAFE?

MetaMask is only as safe as your ability to keep your seed phrase or private
keys secure. The wallet is also deemed as a “hot wallet” as it connects to the
internet, therefore there are also risks.

It is recommended that you only keep small amounts of assets within the wallet
(longer-term) or one of the safest ways to use MetaMask is by connecting it to a
hardware device, such as a Ledger or a Trezor. In this way, MetaMask is working
as a middle man and your funds are not exposed.







CAN METAMASK HOLD BITCOIN BTC?

MetaMask is predominately for ERC20 tokens, although also supports BEP20 tokens
when connected to the Binance Smart Chain. If you send non-supported tokens to
MetaMask you will lose your crypto. However, you can wrap your BTC with each
wBTC backed 1:1 with Bitcoin.





METAMASK SWAPS

MetaMask users can not only store but also compare and swap tokens directly
within their wallets. The token swaps feature fetches quotes across multiple
decentralized liquidity sources to ensure users the best available prices, with
the lowest network fees.

The feature is initially available to users of the MetaMask extension on the
Firefox browser, with plans to be rolled out to other browsers and mobile apps.

Up to now, MetaMask users would need to go to the website of a specific
decentralized exchange or exchange aggregator, sign in, approve each token on
each dex, costing money in gas, and then run the swap.

However, now MetaMask has collaborated with ConsenSys to build Swaps: a feature
that enables any Web3 or DeFi user to easily access the tokens they need for the
sites they use.

her second child in 2018. Louise now travels the world with her two small
children trying to make the most out of life.

    Hi there, do you know why the Metamask app, although I synced it to my
    browser extension, isn’t showing me my accounts?

       Is your metamask wallet on your mobile? Are you restoring your metamask
       account by moving it onto a new laptop.
