MetaMask Adds Apple Pay Support!

Market Meditations | March 31, 2022

MetaMask is the most popular decentralised crypto wallet with over 5 million monthly users according to Consensys. On 29th March 2022, MetaMask announced some crucial updates to its mobile version 4.3.1.

  • Apple Pay integration is the most significant update allowing users to buy crypto with their debit or credit card.
  • This will eliminate the need to send ETH to the MetaMask app in advance which will reduce friction for new users.
  • Wyre is being used to facilitate transactions as Apple does not directly support crypto payments through its platform. Apple Pay users can deposit a daily maximum of $400 to their wallet using their debit or credit card.
  • In addition, MetaMask has added support for gasless transactions where relevant, more transparency when interacting with Dapps and support for a dark mode feature.
  • Always take caution when interacting with web3 and NEVER share your secret recovery phrase with anyone as you could compromise your MetaMask wallet.
