Mainstream ETH Wallet Unveiled By MetaMask In A Mobile App Beta

The popular Ethereum wallet MetaMask is in the altcoin news today for opening a public beta for its Android and iOS mobile app users. The new mainstream ETH wallet is coming as an addition to the existing wallet. As the wallet maker said, the app will be used to “gather feedback from the community before the V1 launch this fall.”

The MetaMask web extension is already very popular and a hot topic on many best cryptocurrency news sites. It is actually one of the most popular crypto wallets in the Ethereum ecosystem. However, the new mainstream ETH wallet is said to give a great addition – as announced at the Devcon 4 conference last fall.

The new Android and iOS apps will serve as mobile browsers, which will allow users to interact with the Ethereum dApps, right from within the MetaMask app. The mainstream ETH wallet comes with a series of announcements in the coming altcoin news. One of them came with a full explanation, noting:

“Rather than just another wallet, MetaMask Mobile is a bridge to the decentralized web, with a dapp-centric browsing experience, intuitive on-boarding, and features that sync with your desktop MetaMask accounts.”

On the last point, users who will download one of the mobile apps will also be able to sync their web wallet accounts with a QR code provided within the browser extension or a private key. When it comes to the actual new features, the new mainstream ETH wallet will come as an app which supports Ethereum Name Service domains, cryptocurrency collectibles built on the ERC-721 token standard (e.g. CryptoKitties), biometric security, and integration with Connext Network’s InstaPay, which is known for letting users make free payments through layer-two payment channels.

All in all, the mainstream ETH wallet by MetaMask is a rising wallet on a rising network, as the latest cryptocurrency news label it. The Ethereum network has turned 5 years on July 22nd and has recently facilitated its 500 millionth transaction – while the MetaMask web extension alone processed more than 0.2% of those transactions during one month this spring.

“MetaMask recorded 1.1 million transactions in the month of April, which projects out to a whopping 1.51 million transactions last month across the entire user base,” the company announced in a MetaMask metrics report shared in May.
