Tezos Teams Integrate MetaMask into the Tezos Ecosystem through a Custom Snap

In a recent integration, teams within the Tezos ecosystem have enabled more than 30 million MetaMask users to connect to the Tezos blockchain. This collaboration expands the utility of MetaMask, one of the most popular digital asset wallets, to encompass the Tezos blockchain. As emphasized in an official tweet by @Tezos on September 14:

What Does the Integration Entail?

TriliTech, in collaboration with Consensys, launched a Tezos Snap with the MetaMask wallet. This Snap acts as a plugin, bolstering MetaMask’s integration capabilities into new blockchain ecosystems such as Tezos.

One of the primary motivations behind this integration is to provide “the tens of millions of Metamask users with instant and convenient access to the broad range of applications in the Tezos ecosystem,” the Tezos source mentioned. Furthermore, this integration is not just beneficial for new users but also broadens the wallet options for existing members of the Tezos community.

Functionality and Features

Upon interfacing with a Tezos dApp, the Tezos Snap, which is authorized by MetaMask, will guide users to download and install the plugin. This procedure is described as a “seamless process which requires no additional user installation.” After the installation, the Snap will determine the Tezos account and address using the same seed phrase utilized for the MetaMask account. This information, including the public key and address, will be presented to the user and concurrently shared with the connecting dApp.

Moreover, the Tezos Wallet Explorer powered by MetaMask has also been introduced. This open-source tool serves as a bridge between MetaMask’s Tezos Snap and Tezos ecosystem dApps, enabling users to view their account balances, transaction history, and even view their NFTs. Other common operations, like sending tez, can be executed directly from the Tezos Wallet Explorer.

A Guide to Using the Integration

For users eager to navigate this new feature, the process is straightforward:

1. Ensure the MetaMask chrome extension is installed.
2. Navigate to the Tezos Wallet powered by MetaMask.
3. Select the “Connect with MetaMask” option.
4. Approve the connection within MetaMask.
5. Finally, install the Tezos snap.

Once completed, MetaMask becomes available on the Tezos’ Beacon SDK Modal, a prevalent Tezos library that establishes the standard for wallet-to-app communications.

For the time being, the Tezos Snap is optimized for browser extensions and is not compatible with mobile devices.

Tezos dapps such as Objkt, the largest NFT marketplace on Tezos which allow for connection utilizing Beacon now have the Metamask option enabled.

A Broader Horizon

MetaMask’s Snaps are a testament to the wallet’s adaptability and vision for a multi-blockchain future. These Snaps serve as customizable features that users can integrate into their wallets, enhancing their blockchain experience. From connecting to non-Ethereum blockchains to transaction insights, Snaps offer a multitude of functions while prioritizing security. All Snaps undergo rigorous auditing by MetaMask’s team and third-party entities to ensure user safety.

This integration of Tezos into the MetaMask ecosystem marks another significant step in fostering collaboration and interoperability between diverse blockchain platforms.
