MetaMask Snaps

Overview

MetaMask Snaps allow users to add features and functionality to their MetaMask wallet. Individual snaps are features created by third-party developers that MetaMask users can install directly into their wallet. MetaMask Snaps Open Beta is a first look at what's possible when extending the capabilities of the MetaMask wallet. Snaps run in a sandboxed environment and use a permissions model to protect your data and respect your consent. Snaps don’t have access to your MetaMask account data. When installing a Snap, you can always verify the permissions you are granting.

note

Snap-based accounts are derived from the private key associated with your MetaMask account (your seed phrase), so funds cannot be lost even in the event support for a particular Snap is discontinued.
