MetaMask browser extension enhances NFT features with new tab and improved user experience | NFT CULTURE | NFT News | Web3 culture
MetaMask, one of the most widely used web3 wallets, is making significant progress in improving the browser extension’s non-fungible tokens (NFT) capabilities. With the introduction of version 10.28, users can now enjoy a dedicated NFT tab that simplifies the viewing and transfer of these unique tokens. This update not only improves the overall user experience, but also levels the playing field with newer wallets and mobile competitors.
New features in MetaMask 10.28
The latest update to the MetaMask browser extension includes the following features:
- A dedicated NFT tab: The new version includes an NFT tab, which allows users to easily view and manage their NFTs in the wallet.
- Simplified sending of ERC-721 NFTs: Users can now transfer ERC-721 NFTs without relying on external platforms or smart contracts.
- NFT auto-detection: When enabled, this feature will display all ERC-721 and ERC-1155 tokens in the wallet.
- Upcoming support for ERC-1155 transfers: Although not available yet, MetaMask plans to introduce the ability to send ERC-1155 tokens in the near future.
Impact on NFT holders and traders
The introduction of these features is a game-changer for NFT holders and traders. Previously, users had to rely on platforms like OpenSea or interact with smart contracts to transfer their NFTs, exposing them to potential risks. The new update eliminates these concerns, making it possible to send NFTs directly to a ledger or friends from the MetaMask browser extension.
The improved user experience also helps MetaMask stay competitive with newer wallets and mobile options like Rainbow. The dedicated NFT tab and enhanced transfer capabilities not only increase the wallet’s appeal, but also streamline the process for existing users.
