Review on MetaMask by Ana A
Access to the ethereum network.
This was originated mainly to become an access wallet and a gateway to Block Chaim applications. This wallet specializes in tokens, that is, it is in charge of storing, protecting, and making transactions in relation to cryptocurrency tokens. It is designed by Ethereum developers, which has provided tremendous reliability and sustainability. This is a bridge that will allow users to navigate and interact with apps and dapps from the world of crypto. MetaMask works thanks to the use of web3. MetaMask was created to be a wallet for Ethereum and a tool to interact with DApps.
Pros
- created in order to allow the creation of web applications that could interact with the Ethereum blockchain
- Thanks to it, web pages and extensions can harness the power of Ethereum and its features
- You can access the purchase or sale of tokens, up to access to resources or any service provided by the same
Cons
- High transaction costs
- The fact that it is an extension for browsers means that they can track all the activity of MetaMask. This is an especially true case for Chrome, as Google performs heavy data mining of all users of its browser.
- The fact of relying on external networks for its operation adds a point of failure in the security scheme. The extension can be secure, but if the nodes are not only, this can mean the loss or theft of information and user funds
