The team at Tuum Technologies, a leading developer of decentralized open-source solutions, is pleased to announce the launch of the Hedera Wallet Snap for MetaMask. This innovative plugin enables developers to seamlessly integrate Hedera Hashgraph functionality into their MetaMask-based applications.
“The Hedera Wallet Snap is a sophisticated plugin that empowers developers to enhance the capabilities of their applications beyond the native features of MetaMask,” said Kiran Pachhai, Co-Founder of Tuum Technologies. “This expansion of MetaMask’s functionality marks a significant step forward in the integration of decentralized technologies into mainstream applications.”
What are MetaMask Snaps?
Snaps is a plugin system introduced by MetaMask and designed to extend the functionality of MetaMask by allowing developers to create custom plugins that can be integrated into the wallet. A Snap is basically a program that runs in an isolated environment that can customize the wallet experience.
Key Benefits of the Hedera Wallet Snap:
Native Hedera Integration: Enables developers to interact with Hedera Hashgraph directly within their MetaMask-based applications, eliminating the need for Hedera JSON-RPC Relay.
Enhanced User Experience: Provides users with a range of advanced Hedera features, including sending HBAR to both Hedera Account IDs and Hedera EVM addresses, retrieving account information, and viewing token balances.
Streamlined Development: Offers a JavaScript npm package for easy integration into web applications, simplifying the development process for developers.
Availability:
The Hedera Wallet Snap is currently available and can be installed from MetaMask Open Beta. The stable version (v0.1.3) is available on GitHub, as an npm package, and documentation at https://docs.tuum.tech/hedera-wallet-snap.
