MetaMask for Ethereum Crosses 1,000,000 User Milestone

[fvb]

Of course this is a great extension and have been using it for a long time.  Faced with some problems and turned to support.  They quickly answered me and explained everything intelligibly.

MetaMask is must have application when you use Dapps, because you need to interact with smart-contracts and this is the most easiest way how to stay safe, not putting your private key away.
But for normal transactions I do not recommend it, personally I have bad experience with many reverted transactions due to low gas - it doesn´t calculate it correctly.

MataMast is one of the widely used extensions in the history of Apps. Reaching such a milestone is an achievement, but I do not think the team is seeing that as being a big deal. If they truly are, then I think three would have been more to it. Also, a lot of users I believe are not active, but that notwithstanding, they are widely used among Etereum lovers.

The security sense of MetaMast is another uniqueness I see about it and there has never been any issue about it.

Talking about the "security sense" as you mentioned, the major reason why I've been using metamask over time is principally because of this. Connecting to decentralized exchanges without actually using your private keys or keystore directly gives metamask users an edge. However, there are fake metamask extensions and a newbie might not be able to differentiate the fakes from the real one. A friend of mine lost 2 ETH after installing and using a fake metamask app on playstore, it was a sad omen but a lesson. I encourage crypto enthusiasts to use metamask especially for some third party transactions which require access to personal wallets or signing in to DEX. Crossing 1M user milestone sounds interesting, but like you wrote, not all users are active.

The fake Metamask browser extensions should be banned from the web and Android play markets. This milestone is big congrats for both MyEtherwallet and Metamask team, by the way, the Mycrypto app is the part of the same team, IIRC.

Ethereum fans usually prefer to use the web version of Myetherwallet but the popularity of Metamask or similar storage apps increase day by day. The real use case numbers show the interest of both crypto users and investors.

Ok, so it makes sense that hackers are now targeting MetaMask because it is one of the most popular crypto wallet and gateway apps. And recently there was a wave of attacks, posing as a legit apps in webstore and I think newbies are falling for the trap, Fake Electrum, MEW and Meta Mask.

@StephenJH - those fake extension has been deleted by Google, but I'm sure more are going to pop up so everyone be careful and report it right away if you cross path with those malicious apps.

Metamask is a good browser extension that we can use for ethereum wallet, no wonder many peoples using it.
I am currently using it as well, and there is no problem so far.
but still, we must very careful when using our wallet because scammers and hackers still trying to steal our coin.

MetaMask is a Secure Web Extension. I think MetaMask users are increasing because of Strong Security. But its matter of  wonder how many of them are still active, that's the important fact really . Good article Thanks .

It should remain secured it's probably the best tool and the best platform of the Ethereum network, because of the number of users it secured Ethereum place in the market, I also wonder how many of them are active using Metamask, I only use it to trade on Dex.

[iconoclast]

A reflection of the fact that people continue building new Dapps and that MetaMask offers a very easy way to interact with them. Forget ICO's, the way to make money with cryptocurrency is in Dapps. 2020 is proving to be a very good year for the Ethereum ecosystem.

[zuziekatee]

It's a good milestone considering the fact that alot of people are scared of browser extension and also it's kind of technical. But I doubt if those users are active.

[Yaunfitda]

This is really an impressive number considering the level of competition in this space, but fact still remains that how many of this users are active users.  This is where really matters form a platform as big as this because using this platform is highly complicated for newbies.  I wish thedev team considers simplifying the platform for easy usage

It is already easy and even newbies can install it and learn how to used the apps.

I think the devs have simplified the platform already the problem is that newbies doesn't check everything before installing it and probably getting a fake apps on their machine. Yes, I would say that it is really impressive the way it grow in the last couple of years.

There will be competition no doubt and make or improving apps that will make us crypto enthusiast more comfortable, but still we need to be careful when downloading apps, just saying.

However, if the browser extension is of an official origin, there is nothing to be afraid of, because as long as I use metamask on my browser, there aren't any obstacles that I experience, so don't be afraid of the metamask browser extension.

[Galley]

Of course, no one will say how much a person actually uses the MetaMask extension directly, but the figure is still good. It’s very convenient for me to work with it on a PC. A fairly reliable and secure browser extension.

It doesn't matter how many of the users are active, or it doesn't even matter if some of them are double, even I have three metamask accounts because on early days I opened one to get some token and I took that money and withdraw and cashed it out to bitcoin and didn't looked back, deleted metamask and just moved on.

After a while I realized cryptokitties could be a decent investment and started another account and did some cryptokitties thing, felt like it wasn't really worth it and stopped and deleted again. Now I have another one that is last and not really doing anything with it but keeping it. The deal here is that they reached 1 million users while others didn't, others could had non-active users or double triple account users but they couldn't reach 1 million while metamask did reached it.

I totally agree with you. I have dozens of metamask accounts but I can't even remember the password for the main account I'm using. So these numbers don't say anything, but the metamask is worth using, it's convenient and safe to store as well as receive and send money.

[siddartha1492]

Amazing! I didn't knew so many people used Metamask. I thought something in the range of 10K-20K. But I guess with the rise in Defi Dapps on Ethereum, it could be that more and more people are using Metamask. Also it being basically the only web3 wallet for Ethereum on desktops, helps it grow in numbers.

[joinfree]

That's impressive! I have no doubt that this figure can double by the end of next year because metamask has really proven itself to be a great tool for crypto enthusiasts. The ease of use with which it allows you to interact with your wallets is incredible. Developers also find it cool to work with especially those into developing games.

MetaMask is an Ethereum-based web extension. In fact, this is a breakthrough for Metamask. It is user-friendly and easy to use. That's why many people are using Metamask.
