Globally popular web3 digital wallet MetaMask introduces a new update that improves the capabilities of its browser extension for non-fungible tokens (NFTs). With version 10.28, users can now enjoy a dedicated NFT tab that makes it easy to view and transfer these unique tokens. The update not only improves the overall user experience, but also levels the playing field with newer wallets and mobile competitors.
New NFT Features in MetaMask 10.28: Everything You Need to Know
Below are some of the latest features in MetaMask version 10.28:
- Dedicated NFT tab– Users easily view and manage their NFTs within the wallet.
- Simplified Shipping (ERC-721 NFT)– Users can transfer ERC-721 NFTs without relying on external platforms or smart contracts.
- Automatic NFT detection– This feature will show all ERC-721 and ERC-1155 tokens in the wallet when enabled.
- Support for ERC-1155 transfers: MetaMask plans to introduce the ability to send ERC-1155 tokens soon.
The new features are a game changer for NFT holders and traders. Previously, users had to rely on platforms like OpenSea or interact with smart contracts to transfer their NFTs. This exposes them to potential risks and scammers. The new update removes these concerns, allowing you to send NFTs directly to a ledger or friends from within the MetaMask Browser Extension.
MetaMask also plans to allow users to send ERC-1155 tokens within the extension soon. This update further strengthens the utility of the wallet for NFT enthusiasts. Users who do not have automatic updates enabled must manually update their MetaMask extension to access new features. To do this, simply visit your browser’s extension settings and follow the prompts to update MetaMask to version 10.28.
The MetaMask browser extension update marks a major milestone in the evolution of the wallet. By simplifying the NFT transfer and management process, the wallet is positioning itself as a go-to solution for NFT collectors and enthusiasts. The improved user experience also helps MetaMask stay competitive with newer wallets and mobile alternatives like Rainbow. As the NFT ecosystem continues to grow and evolve, users can expect more improvements and innovations from MetaMask and other web3 wallet providers.
