22年火爆的知识点——什么是MetaMask？

什么是MetaMask？

What's MetaMask?

MetaMask是一种流行且已建立的浏览器扩展程序，其功能是连接到以太坊区块链的加密货币钱包。 MetaMask允许用户与以太坊生态系统进行交互，该系统承载着广泛的去中心化应用程序（Dapps），而无需在其设备上下载整个区块链。 因此，它是最好的以太坊钱包解决方案之一，可轻松访问去中心化交易所（DEX），游戏平台，赌博网站和许多其他应用程序。

MetaMask is a popular and established browser extension program with encrypted currency wallets connected to the Ether district block chain. MetaMask allows users to interact with the Ether ecosystem, which carries a wide range of decentralized applications (Dapps), without having to download the entire block chain on its device.

该钱包与最广泛使用的浏览器兼容，例如Chrome，Firefox，Brave和Microsoft Edge。 除了存储以太坊的本币ETH外，MetaMask还持有基于协议的ERC-20和ERC-721标准构建的令牌。

The wallet is compatible with the most widely used browsers, such as Chrome, Firefox, Brave, and Microsoft Edge. In addition to storing ETH in the local currency of the Taiku, MetaMask also holds protocol-based ERC-20 and ERC-721-based medals.

MetaMask：简要的历史和主要功能

MetaMask: Brief history and main function

从2016年创建钱包到2020年9月，MetaMask吸引了40万用户。去年10月，每月活跃用户达到100万。 在2019年之前，以太坊在线钱包仅作为Firefox和Chrome浏览器的桌面浏览器插件提供。 2020年9月，ConsenSys发布了第一个官方的适用于Android和iOS的移动设备的MetaMask移动应用程序。

Before 2019, it was provided as a desktop browser plugin for Firefox and Chrame browser only. In September 2020, ConsenSys released the first official MetaMask mobile application for mobile devices for Android and iOS.

根据安全公司Least Authority的独立审核，以太坊在线钱包在安全性和设计方面提供了一流的功能。

According to an independent audit of the security company Least Authority, the Tahrir's online wallet provides a first-class function in terms of security and design.

出色的加密技术使MetaMask成为以太坊钱包中的佼佼者，该技术可以安全地将密码和私钥存储在每个用户的设备中。 此外，它允许用户连接多个钱包，并在以太坊主网，主要测试网甚至币安智能链主网之间进行切换。

Excellent encryption technology has made MetaMask a champion of Ether’s wallets, which can safely store passwords and private keys in each user’s device. Moreover, it allows users to connect multiple wallets and to switch between Ether’s main network, mainly testing it, and even the currency security chain’s main network.

MetaMask vs Trust钱包

MetaMask vs Trust Wallet

与以太坊区块链兼容的另一个钱包是Trust钱包，它与MetaMask有一些根本区别。 例如，虽然MetaMask既是浏览器又是基于移动设备的钱包，但Trust钱包仅在移动设备上可用。 此外，Trust钱包不仅支持以太坊及其资产。 用户可以存储更广泛的数字货币，包括ETH，比特币（BTC），莱特币（LTC）和瑞波（XRP）。

Another wallet compatible with the Ether block chain is Trust’s wallet, which is fundamentally different from MetaMask’s. For example, although MetaMask is both a browser and a mobile device-based wallet, Trust’s wallet is only available on mobile devices.

Trust钱包的其他功能包括购买BTC，赚取存储资金利息，与不可替代令牌（NFT）生态系统互动，跟踪加密货币价格并充当加密货币交易所的能力。

Other functions of the Trust Wallet include purchasing BTC, earning interest on funds held in storage, interacting with the non-alternative (NFT) ecosystem, tracking encrypted currency prices and acting as an encrypted currency exchange.
