The new system developed by Space ID allows users to register a domain name that can be linked to all their public cryptocurrency addresses. Thanks to this approach, instead of entering 42-character alphanumeric strings, users will be able to use a simple username to carry out transactions on MetaMask. This aims to reduce the risk of errors when sending funds, a situation that can lead to total asset loss if an address is entered incorrectly.
MetaMask: Strengthening Wallet Security
Christian Montoya, product lead at MetaMask, stated that this integration will provide a safer and more accessible experience for users operating on any EVM-compatible chain. Furthermore, it comes after the acquisition of Wallet Guard, a crypto security application by Consensys, the developer of MetaMask, in an attempt to strengthen the security of non-custodial wallets.
Space ID also emphasized in its statement that users will be able to organize and store their identifiers for multiple chains within a single wallet, simplifying the management of digital assets. This functionality is crucial for the web3 ecosystem, where efficient management of identities and assets is essential for an optimal experience.
The collaboration between MetaMask and Space is aimed at creating a more intuitive and secure experience for cryptocurrency users, as the need for solutions that simplify interaction with digital assets has become increasingly evident.
