MetaMask

MetaMask is a global self-custodial financial platform that gives users direct control over their digital assets and enables them to manage, move, and use money across crypto and emerging onchain financial services. Founded in 2016, MetaMask began as an Ethereum wallet and has expanded into a broader platform for accessing decentralized applications, digital assets, payments, and financial services.

The MetaMask platform includes a self-custodial wallet available through browser extensions and mobile applications, along with tools for buying, swapping, sending, receiving, staking, and spending digital assets. Its ecosystem also includes MetaMask Card, the Money Account, tokenized real-world assets, prediction markets, developer tools, and security features designed to help users interact with blockchain networks while retaining control of their assets.

MetaMask has more than 100 million downloads and reaches users in more than 190 countries. The company is expanding its original wallet offering into what it describes as an “Open Money” platform, bringing payments, savings, investing, and digital assets together while maintaining a self-custodial model.
