NEAR Protocol has announced that it is now compatible with MetaMask, allowing MetaMask users to generate NEAR accounts, validate NEAR transactions, and access a range of other features directly within the MetaMask wallet. This is thanks to the NEAR Snap, designed by HERE Wallet and backed by the Banyan Collective, which has been incorporated into the MetaMask Snap ecosystem. NEAR Snap marks the first instance where MetaMask natively supports NEAR transactions, and its versatility facilitates extensive interoperability between blockchains. The NEAR builders community plans to devise BOS components to enable web wallet-like functionalities through diverse gateways, not only for NEAR Snaps but also for other wallets within the ecosystem.
