MetaMask: the number of active wallet users has increased by 55% in four months
The indicator grew from 19 million users in September to more than 30 million in January
Representatives of the Ethereum wallet MetaMask reported that the number of monthly active users increased from 19 million in September to more than 30 million in January, Blockworks reports. At the same time, the maximum observed in January 2022 was 31.7 million. MetaMask noted that the wallet has almost as many active users as during the peak of the last bull market.
Barbara Shorhit, senior product manager at ConsenSys, the company that developed MetaMask, noted that "the platform defines a monthly active user as a person who loads a page in the MetaMask extension or opens a mobile application at least once during any rolling 30-day period."
Shorhit also added that 576,000 unique users of MetaMask enabled alerts from Web 3.0, the Blockaid security tool for Ethereum, during the beta testing phase, which prevented more than 30,000 malicious transactions.
The tool automatically sends warnings to users about potentially malicious transactions, including those related to phishing, fraud, and hacking attempts. The wallet integrated Blockaid into the main offer last October as part of the beta phase.
In January, MetaMask enabled Blockaid alerts on the main Ethereum network by default through a browser extension. Now the company is doing the same for the Polygon, Arbitrium, Optimism, Avalanche, BNB Chain and Linea blockchains through both the app and the extension.
