MetaMask: Apple Pay integration and more iOS updates



 MetaMask informed iPhone and Apple Pay users about some innovations via Twitter on Tuesday. The main new feature makes it possible to buy cryptocurrencies with a debit or credit card via the mobile application. As a result, Ether ( ETH ) no longer has to be transferred from a central exchange such as Coinbase to the application. 


MetaMask uses two payment gateways, Wyre and Transak, to offer debit and credit card transactions. Thanks to the Wyre API, users can now use stored Visa and Mastercards with Apple Pay to buy ETH. They can deposit a maximum of $400 into their wallets daily. Gas fees to be lower According to MetaMask's Twitter posts, some transactions can even be entirely fee-free if performed on a private blockchain or if a project pays the gas fee on behalf of the user. MetaMask has stated that the company does not benefit from gas fees on ETH purchases.


For some time now, you can buy the stablecoins Tether ( USDT ), USD Coin ( USDC ) and Dai ( DAI ) on the Ethereum mainnet in MetaMask via Transak. With the latest addition, users can make transfers and use credit/debit cards to buy cryptocurrencies with over 60 global currencies. Users in the US can now also buy Fantom and Avalanche tokens, the company announced . Exactly which payment methods are available and which fees apply differs from region to region. 


James Beck, director of communications and content at ConsenSys, told Cointelegraph the purpose of these updates is to improve accessibility and make things smoother. "We wanted to give users more options to convert cryptocurrencies within the app itself without having to leave it," said Beck. He also said more integrations are coming soon that will "maximize" those options and "slim" the buying of cryptocurrencies.


MetaMask also tweeted about another "major" security update related to token sending. Unlike simply transferring ETH to a recipient address, the tokens are sent to a contract address that contains instructions on how to transfer a specified amount of tokens to a recipient address. Users can now "clearly see which contract is requesting approval" and tag and save it. 


MetaMask has previously warned on Twitter that users should "be careful when interacting with contracts" and approve a specific address to move those tokens. It said the token approval could lead to asset theft. The only way to protect yourself is to revoke the token approval. 



In addition, MetaMask has introduced the Apple Dark Mode by popular request. Beck claimed that night mode and tokens were the most requested by users. Night mode is automatically enabled in the app if the user's iPhone operating system has night mode enabled for the entire system. The company tweeted that night mode for the MetaMask extension would be "coming soon"


Recently, MetaMask acquired the Ethereum wallet interface provider MyCrypto to combine the technologies and eventually merge with the MetaMask wallet. This merger aims to improve the security of all their products.

The 5 largest platforms for non-fungible token (NFT) collectibles

  Since the beginning of 2021, non-fungible tokens (NFT) have had no holding back and the sector is setting new records almost every day.  More and more artists, stars and brands are realizing the potential - NFT are well on their way to catapulting the crypto space into the mainstream.  But which collectibles are currently the most popular? What are NFT? NFT are unique tokens that cannot be exchanged one-for-one for an equivalent token.  Any asset that is tokenizable can be an NFT.  This includes, for example, (digital) works of art, trading cards, game items and crypto domains.  Theoretically, however, real estate or securities can also be mapped as NFT. NFTs can be used to transparently map ownership structures on a public blockchain.  This allows them to store value just like real objects, even if additional copies are easy to make.  For example, the original picture of the Mona Lisa is significantly more valuable than a photo, as everyone kno...

CARDALONIA: THE CARDANO METAVERSE OPENS THE GATES!

  Have you ever been to Cardalonia? With these words, the Cardano Metaverse called Cardalonia starts the gates. In this 3D world, developers and users can interact with each other. First of all, users have to create an individual character with which they can move online. After that you can enter one of the worlds built by developers with this character. You can also purchase your own land in the Cardano Metaverse via the marketplaces in Cardalonia . This is secured by Cardano's blockchain technology and therefore offers a relatively secure transfer of ownership. Since these are only digital plots of land, it is not yet entirely clear when the plots of land are purchased whether they can also be sold again in the future. A possible profit cannot be estimated at the moment. In Cardalonia, the cryptocurrency Lonia is used. The maximum amount of tokens in circulation is 100,000,000. The team consists of Alice Sand (Co-Founder), Vasil Air (CTO) and Dustan Water (Fullstack Developer). T...

Cardano: This is the vision that founder Charles Hoskinson has

  The Altcoin Cardano has tended to decline in recent weeks.  The Alonzo upgrade was supposed to bring improvements, but it soon turned out to be a disappointment.  Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson presented his vision for the cyber motto in a live Twitter video. • Cardano in the last few months under pressure • Charles Hoskinson explains his Cardano vision via Twitter • Security and privacy at the center The cryptocurrency  Cardano  has had a difficult few months.  While founder Charles Hoskinson's cyber motto has had a strong run in 2021, it has been steadily downhill in recent months.  Cardano is faced with some difficulties.  The so-called Alonzo upgrade went live in mid-September, for which crypto fans had high hopes, but which soon turned out to be a disappointment.  The upgrade should make it possible to use smart contracts on the cryptocurrency as well.  It soon turned out, however, that although these were entered into Cardano,...
