The blockchain technology company ConsenSys announced on Tuesday (Aug. 31) that its MetaMask cryptocurrency wallet has surpassed 10 million monthly active users. This milestone marks a 19-fold growth since July of last year, and “positions MetaMask as the leading non-custodial wallet by users globally,” the company said in a news release.
MetaMask is a mobile app and browser extension that works as a cryptocurrency wallet for interactions with the Ethereum blockchain and Ethereum-compatible networks such as Polygon, Arbitrum and Optimism, per the release.
“MetaMask defined a new kind of cryptocurrency wallet, where users don't just interact with currencies, but with decentralized applications, and we are constantly making these new kinds of applications more safe and accessible to a broader audience,” said Dan Finlay, MetaMask co-founder. “We're letting users explore new ways of establishing trust on the internet.”
