ConsenSys has announced that MetaMask, in partnership with web3 payment company MoonPay, has expanded its services in Nigeria.
The integration allows MetaMask users to purchase cryptocurrency directly from their wallets using local bank transfers.
The purchased tokens can then be stored in their MetaMask wallets.
