MetaMask, the popular DeFi gateway crypto wallet, has surpassed 10 million monthly active users.
According to Consensys, Metamask parent company, this represents a 19x growth since July 2020 and over 1, 800% in just one year making it the leading non-custodial wallet.
MetaMask, a non-custodial cryptocurrency wallet which can be accessed through a mobile app and browser extension. enables users to interact with the Ethereum blockchain and any Ethereum-compatible network like Polygon, Arbitrum, and Optimism.
As a non-custodial wallet, users on Metamask own their private keys, giving them full control of the wallets. This differs from digital custodial wallets such as those offered by centralized exchanges where users only get permission to send and receive payments.
