Metamask is a cryptocurrency wallet launched by ConsenSys. It is currently the most widely used cryptocurrency wallet in the cryptocurrency industry. Metamask can be installed as a plug-in on browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, Brave, Edge, etc. It has many functions and is very convenient to use.
The development team of MetaMask is a blockchain company called ConsenSys. As early as 2016, ConsenSys launched MetaMask. Since it occupied the market early in the early development of Ethereum, MetaMask can be said to be a hot wallet that everyone in the currency circle has now.
Metamask itself has a high degree of security. So far, there has been no major asset loss crisis. As long as the private key and mnemonic of the wallet are kept safe, no one can move the cryptocurrency in the wallet.
Metamsk itself is not a scam. As mentioned above, it is a very practical and convenient cryptocurrency wallet. However, due to its popularity, many unscrupulous people use various methods to steal private keys and mnemonics, such as:
·Fake Metamask wallet
·Phishing link
·Fake customer service notification
These are common scams. Metamsk will not have customer service to contact users. Therefore, we should pay more attention to the use of it. Don't accidentally leak your private keys and mnemonics to avoid asset losses.
