Metamask, the popular self -defense Crypto -Wing Book for Ethereum (ETH) network, shared a flurry of messages on Thursday with the aim of improving its wallet user experience.
Part of Metamask’s renewed roadmap includes the addition of smart contract functions to its current wallet. Currently, Metamask is an external owned account (EOA), a type of wallet that is managed by a public and a private key. One of the most important subpoena with EOAs is that it is subject to human error, which means that if you forget your private key, you lose your crypto holdings in this account forever. The second type of wallet found at Ethereum is contract accounts (CAS), which is controlled by code and has recovery mechanisms in place and security checks to verify transactions.
In a blog post that was shared under Ethenver, the largest North American Ethereum conference, the Metamask Team said “Smart-Contract-based accounts allow us to solve a number of problems: allowing new powerful uses of the assets you have while improving security. When the user defines their terms from their own programmable account, we extend a lot how the user expresses their agency in ways enforced by their own code. “
One of the new features aimed at making the user experience at Metamask easier, includes the ERC-5792, which is based on its current feature, smart transactions. Under the ERC-5792 or known as batched transactions, users can combine certain steps when it comes to unsubscribing transactions that “approve + swap” in a single click, which means they would save time and gas fees by batching these steps together.
Dan Finlay, co -founder of Metamask, told Coindesk that batching transactions “give us all the things you want to ask for in order we present them to the user in a nice, overall way. The user pays for a gas fee for the series of events and then it will just be a block for the entire series of operations. “
Metamask card
The Metamask team also shared that its metamask payment card will be available in selected states in the United States, starting mid-March. The card has been in production for a few months and was originally available just to users in the UK and the EU.
It connects to a user’s metamask design book and lets them use their crypto.
“You can serve to put rewards or give of you on your favorite protocol with your favorite tokens and make these funds available to use anywhere MasterCard is accepted with just a touch,” the team wrote on a blog post.
More support
As part of the theme of making the user experience easier, the metamask team adds support to Bitcoin (BTC) and Solana (SOL) in its wallets, which means users can keep their different crypto assets in one place.
“So these also deliver some of the most popular blockchains, but they also ensure that we have leveled all parts of our interface that allow new blockchains to be added,” Finlay said in the interview.
