- Metamask, the non-custodial wallet service, announces an app upgrade focusing on user experience.
- Consensys improved security and organized design, which will boost confidence in users.
- Community comments on the fantastic outlook of the updated application.
Metamask, the decentralized non-custodial soft wallet, took to its Twitter page to announce the release of its latest application upgrade.
Version 10.33 of the decentralized soft wallet signifies a more defined and organized layout. According to their post on Twitter, the Metamask team stated that the community’s feedback inspired the upgrade.
Users can access the modified features once they update the app to its latest version. Metamask design changes have replaced the previous double rows on the app. With the upgrade, only one row contains essential information like the user’s data, connection status, and network options. This design change has brought a more organized look to the app. It also makes it easier for users to locate the features quickly.
While scammers have used many phishing methods to exploit Metamask users, the decentralized non-custodial wallet service provider has put more outstanding efforts into its safety upgrades. As reported by Cryptopolitan, the updated Metamask application promises unwavering security.
Metamask’s new upgrade is set to signify the start of more user-focused decentralized applications based on community requests. While some users share their opinions on how the design does not meet their specific expectations, more users find the upgrade to their liking.
Metamask app update on Design: Is it a priority?
While the new app update is focused on the design outlook of the application, users may not be entirely satisfied with the application. Between 2019 till 2023, there have been growing concerns over the slow load time of the app. For several crypto users, shitcoin traders, and NFT degens, Metamask has slowly become unusable due to its slow load time.
Speed is one of the driving factors in the crypto industry. Users focus and utilize decentralized applications that open at the speed of light to perform degen transactions. But a decentralized soft wallet with a high bounce rate makes the performance of lightning-speed transactions impossible. It eventually leads to infrequent use by crypto users.
While Metamask is the recommended application for new crypto users, the decentralized non-custodial wallet service provider may not meet the standards of active crypto traders. This leads to using other wallet service providers like Zerion, TokenPocket, Safepal, etc.
While the Consensys-developed application Version 6, which was released in March 2023, claimed to have solved the slow load time issues, research shows that the fix was not effective.
The design update was a necessary fix, as requested by the community. However, it is suggested that more significance and focus should be given to resolving the slow load time issues. The outlook of the application can be considered if users are willing to wait for minutes to view it. According to Treetop, the average attention span of an adult on the internet is just 8.25 seconds.
Metamask was once the leading wallet service provider in the crypto industry. Fixing the slow load time rate may be one of the most remarkable turnarounds to be witnessed in Web3.
