NEAR Mainnet Is Now Compatible with MetaMask

The Near Protocol announced via X on Monday that THE NEAR mainnet is now compatible with MetaMask and the entire suite of Ethereum wallets. With this integration, Ethereum users can now freely interact with NEAR applications using MetaMask, Phantom, or other ETH wallets. 

Aurora Labs built this NEAR Wallet Selector integration for Ethereum wallets. NEAR will now have direct exposure to the Ethereum community, reducing the friction of users creating NEAR wallets before interacting with NEAR/multichain apps. Developers and teams can directly embed the Ethereum wallet selector in their apps, allowing users to sign in using MetaMask or the ETH wallet of their choice.

NEAR Protocol is a decentralized application platform designed to make apps similarly usable to those on today’s web. The network runs on a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism called Nightshade, which aims to provide dynamic scalability and stabilize fees. NEAR is trading at $5.147, up .5% in the last 24 hours.
