MetaMask is a software cryptocurrency wallet developed by ConsenSys Software Inc., used to interact with the Ethereum blockchain and other compatible networks like EVM-compatible chains. Initially created in 2016 by Aaron Davis and Dan Finlay, it began as a browser extension and has since expanded to include a mobile app. The company's mission is to make the decentralized web accessible to everyone by providing a secure and user-friendly interface for managing digital assets, exploring blockchain applications (dApps), and engaging with the worlds of DeFi and NFTs. While the wallet itself is non-custodial (users control their own keys), MetaMask generates revenue through fees on features like its in-app Swaps service.
