Leading Ethereum wallet MetaMask has announced support for the Cardano Snap wallet, a solution developed by Web3 Self-custody wallet provider NuFi. According to a recent announcement, this integration will allow MetaMask users to interact with the Cardano blockchain. Specifically, MetaMask users can use the solution to create Cardano accounts and interact with Cardano decentralized applications (dApps).

The solution will also allow users to manage their own Cardano assets, including ADA and other tokens. This Catalyst-funded initiative simplifies the process of learning the Cardano network for people already familiar with MetaMask. The NuFi team used MetaMask’s Snap feature to integrate Cardano support into the popular Ethereum wallet. The Snap feature allows third parties to improve MetaMask’s functionality by adding community-created extensions to the wallet.

With NuFi’s Snap feature for the Cardano wallet, users can generate Cardano keys from a MetaMask seed phrase. This feature allows MetaMask users to buy ADA with credit cards or exchange other assets for Cardano’s native token. Adding the Cardano Wallet Snap to MetaMask does not require any technical knowledge. The steps include installing Snap, visiting the NuFi platform, and connecting MetaMask to the advanced wallet. Once Snap is added, users will receive a Cardano Wallet and an address where they can receive funds to interact with Cardano dApps.
