MetaMask just released MetaMask Snaps at Permissionless II. Why is this such a big deal? Is this crypto’s “Chrome extension” moment? Is this how we onboard crypto’s next billion users? We welcome creator and Co-Founder of MetaMask, Dan Finlay on the show to help us explore all of these questions and much more.

Great interview. Snaps are audited and peer reviewed before being publically available. This is like an app store for your digital wallet. Nice!

[lherfel]

great interview, "making it salient" love the syntax, snaps are sick, a thing of beauty, dunno about permissionless snaps as default ever, cheers

Just came to say, new innovation and good UX can bring new users, excitement, be a catalyst for growth and ultimately make number(s) go up.

Thanks for this Ryan.

I would never use snaps until it has been tested for years. Seems like removing the doors to your house, letting anyone in.

Just came to say how much I have started to hate Metamask after discovering Rabby. That old crap is stuck in 2017, and you relize only once you have tried next gen wallets like Rabby. And then we wonder why crypto UX sucks.... it starts with MM, they are holding the whole industry back.

Just came to say, we don’t care. Drop a token.

As soon as a decent competitor comes along. Betting most will switch like they did with blur against open sea.
