Hive on MetaMask is Official!

• 2024 and 2025 have been amazing years for cruptocurrency in general, and bitcoin and hive in particular.

There have been many amazing changes and integrations bring new communities like Dash and many new innovations like lightening integration via V4V and Thirswap, and both Ethereum, Solana and Cosmos ecosystem connections via LeoDex.

The latest innovation in an amazing list of innovations is the ability to use MetaMask crytocurrency wallet to hold Hive.

MetaMask is an amazing browser extension, which is a cryptocurrency wallet. It was perfect for new financial development called Decentralized Finance.

This was were cryptocurrency and the blockchain intersected with finance and a new entity was born, which came to be known simply as DeFi. D

eFi fueled a historic, once in a thousand years growth of financial transactions which originally totalled millions, but in one year totaled billions.

This increase in financial transaction volume by a multiple of one million had never occurred before or since, It was called DeFi summer and many fortunes were made and some lost.

MetaMask was the wallet of choice for these millions of transactions, but any blockchain token not on Ethereum was excluded, until NFTs and bridges were built. This spawned the demand for Snaps, which was away to use metamask for tkens from other blockchains.

Thus when I heard of a Snap for Hive it was a happy moment when Hive members could more easily join the party.

This is terrific News!

I was thrilled to read this news and wanted to spread the word about this wonderful achievement, which integrates Hive wallets into one of the most widely used cryptocurrency wallets in the world. This opens up Hive access to a much larger global audience. However, as I read the announcement, it occurred to me that before diving into the details, some explanation was necessary.

First, What is MetaMask?

• MetaMask is one of the world's most popular non-custodial cryptocurrency wallets, primarily used as a browser extension and a mobile application. Think of it as a digital passport for the decentralized web, also known as Web3.

• Its core function is to allow users to securely store, manage, and transact with digital assets, particularly those on the Ethereum blockchain and other compatible networks (like Polygon, Avalanche, and Binance Smart Chain).

• Users hold their own private keys, meaning they have full control over their funds without relying on a third party like a bank or exchange.

• MetaMask acts as the bridge between a user's browser and blockchain-based decentralized applications (dApps), enabling them to log in to websites, play games, use financial services, and sign transactions directly from their wallet.

Second, What are MetaMask Snaps?

• Historically, MetaMask's functionality was limited to Ethereum and blockchains that were built similarly (known as EVM-compatible chains). This meant that to interact with fundamentally different blockchains like Bitcoin, Solana, or Hive, users needed to install separate wallets, creating a fragmented and often confusing experience.

• MetaMask Snaps are a revolutionary feature that solves this problem. Snaps are open-source plugins that can be installed directly into MetaMask to extend its capabilities far beyond its original design. They allow developers to:

• Add support for non-EVM blockchains: A Snap can give MetaMask the ability to connect to entirely new networks, like the Hive blockchain.

• Provide Transaction Insights: Snaps can analyze transactions before a user signs them, flagging potential security risks or providing more context about what the transaction will do.

• Introduce new features: Developers can create Snaps for notifications, identity management, and other innovative Web3 interactions.

• In essence, Snaps transform MetaMask from a single-ecosystem wallet into a universal, multi-chain gateway, making it easier and safer for users to navigate the entire Web3 landscape from one familiar interface.

The Announcement from Hive account@thebeedevs

Now that those two major points are explained, let's look at the rest of the announcement from the development team:

Subject: Major Milestone Achieved: Hive Snap is Now Officially Listed by MetaMask!

What Does This Mean for You?

• **According to the article by Hive account@thebeedevs
• The Hive Snap simplifies the user experience and lowers the barrier to entry for our platform. Getting started is easy:
• • Simple Onboarding: By installing the Hive Snap, users can either link an existing Hive account or request the creation of a new one through an automated wizard.
• • Account Creation via Hive Bridge: The Snap integrates with the Hive Bridge service, which offers a unique and user-friendly way to create a new Hive account. A creation link can be generated and shared with a friend on Hive, who can then execute the transaction to create the account on your behalf.

Please congradulate Hive account@thebeedevs and show some love with upvotes if you can.

• It is only through hard work from developers, entrepeneurs and content creators and consumers that Hive will grow.
• So please spread the word of this accomplishment and if your technologically inclined, certainly use the product in a protected fashion until you learn the usual risks of using metamask. remember there is Hive and then there is everything else in cryptocurrency, and we are guarded from many dangers by all the protections here on Hive. SO when you venture outside Hive, even on an applications as well established as MetaMask, remember there are scammers and others out there, who make their living off the mistakes of others in the cryptocurrency world.
