MetaMask provides users with NFT features in the latest update
Globally popular web3 digital wallet MetaMask introduces a new update that improves the browser extension’s capabilities for non-fungible tokens (NFT). With version 10.28, users can now enjoy a dedicated NFT tab that simplifies the viewing and transfer of these unique tokens. The update not only improves the overall user experience, but also levels the playing field with newer wallets and mobile competitors.
New NFT Features in MetaMask 10.28: Everything You Need to Know
Below are some of the latest features in MetaMask version 10.28:
- Dedicated NFT tab: Users can easily view and manage their NFTs in their wallet.
- Simplified sending (ERC-721 NFT): Users can transfer ERC-721 NFTs without relying on external platforms or smart contracts.
- NFT Auto detection: This feature will display all ERC-721 and ERC-1155 tokens in the wallet when enabled.
- Support for ERC-1155 transfers: MetaMask plans to introduce the ability to send ERC-1155 tokens soon.
The new features are 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. This exposes them to potential risks and fraudsters. The new update eliminates these concerns, making it possible to send NFTs directly to a ledger or friends from the MetaMask browser extension.
MetaMask also plans to enable users to send ERC-1155 tokens in the extension soon. This update strengthens the wallet’s utility for NFT enthusiasts. Users who have not enabled automatic updates should manually update the MetaMask extension to access the new features. To do this, simply go to your browser’s extension settings and follow the instructions to update MetaMask to version 10.28.
MetaMask’s browser extension update marks a significant milestone in the wallet’s evolution. By simplifying the process of managing and transferring NFTs, the wallet positions itself as a go-to solution for NFT collectors and enthusiasts. The improved user experience also helps MetaMask stay competitive with newer wallets and mobile options like Rainbow. As the NFT ecosystem continues to grow and develop, users can expect further improvements and innovations from MetaMask and other web3 wallet providers.
