New toolkit simplifies blockchain onboarding and covers gas costs, enhancing user experience and broadening accessibility.
Consensys, the developer behind the popular cryptocurrency wallet MetaMask, has announced a new product called the MetaMask Delegation Toolkit. This announcement was made at the Ethereum Community Conference in Brussels. The new toolkit aims to make it easier for users to start using blockchain applications without the usual complications.
The MetaMask Delegation Toolkit is designed to simplify the onboarding process for new users of blockchain applications. Traditionally, users need to interact with a wallet, which can be a complicated and confusing process for those who are not familiar with blockchain technology. The new toolkit eliminates this friction by allowing instant onboarding without the need for traditional wallet interactions.
The toolkit allows developers to cover the gas costs for users. Gas costs are the fees required to perform transactions on the blockchain. By covering these costs, developers can make the user experience smoother and more seamless. This is particularly important for attracting new users who may be hesitant to pay these fees upfront.
The MetaMask Delegation Toolkit is compatible with any blockchain that supports the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). This includes popular chains like Arbitrum, Avalanche, Base, Linea, Optimism, and Polygon. This broad compatibility makes the toolkit a versatile solution for developers working on various blockchain platforms.
For developers, the MetaMask Delegation Toolkit offers a way to simplify the onboarding process for new users, potentially increasing user adoption of their applications. By covering gas costs, developers can remove a significant barrier to entry for new users. For users, the toolkit promises a smoother and more intuitive experience when starting to use blockchain applications.
