MetaMask plans to launch the Snaps protocol by the end of the year, allowing anyone to securely extend MetaMask's functionality

ChainCatcher news, according to The Defiant, MetaMask plans to launch the Snaps protocol by the end of 2023, allowing anyone to securely extend MetaMask's functionality, enabling wallet users to access new applications and perform cross-chain protocol interactions. MetaMask will not charge any fees to Snaps users.

It is reported that MetaMask previously described Snap as "an open-source system that allows anyone to securely extend the functionality of MetaMask" to create new Web3 experiences. This means developers can build specialized features on top of MetaMask using Snap. (source link)
