The multichain landscape just moved a little closer after leading web3 wallet MetaMask added support for EOS Network. Thanks to the introduction of a MetaMask Snap – the name for the mini-apps that extend the wallet’s utility – millions of users can now access EOS without needing to change their web3 setup.

The wallet’s innovative Snaps feature extends its compatibility to non-EVM blockchains including Bitcoin, Solana, and now EOS. This modular architecture allows developers to build plugins such as the EOS Wallet, expanding MetaMask’s capabilities and bringing new ecosystems into its fold. By…
