MetaMask, one of the world's most popular crypto wallets, announced significant updates in its roadmap. The new features aim to improve the user experience.

Smart Contract Accounts for Security and Flexibility

Currently, MetaMask uses Externally Owned Accounts (EOA), relying on public and private keys to control digital assets. With the introduction of smart contract accounts, users can set additional security mechanisms such as transaction recovery and multi-sig authorization. "Smart contract accounts will allow users to have greater control over their assets with more advanced automation features," stated the MetaMask announcement.

ERC-5792 Batch Transaction Feature

One of the challenges in the Ethereum ecosystem is the number of steps required to complete a single transaction. MetaMask plans to implement the ERC-5792 batch transaction feature, which allows combining multiple transaction steps into one execution. This will save time and reduce gas costs.

Support for Bitcoin and Solana

MetaMask is extending its compatibility to blockchains beyond the Ethereum ecosystem. This includes integration with Bitcoin and Solana, which will facilitate the management of various crypto assets on a single platform.

With new updates, MetaMask transforms from just an Ethereum wallet to a more functional platform for managing digital assets.
