Hello Hive Community ❗
I am proud to announce wonderful news. Today, we have received an information on official enlisting our Hive Snap implementation by Metamask 🦊 Team.
You can check it here: MetaMask snap registry
This way, we have finished 🏁 a complex 🔥 process of official acceptance of Snap implementation by MetaMask.
To refresh your memory a bit, let me describe the steps we had to go through...
- Implementation and internal testing: this stage was quite smooth and straightforward 😎 due to exceptional talent and experience of Bees 🐝 that worked hard on it. We announced it in the Hive Birthday article.
- Once it was implemented and tested (due to MetaMask requirements), we asked Hacken - one of officially approved MetaMask auditors - for verification of our software. They analyzed our snap codebase thoroughly. The moment we fixed a few findings they created the security audit report 🛡️.
- In the meantime, we have also requested to register Hive for official slip-44 list maintained by SatoshiLabs, which was completed in this PR.
- At this point we were ready for applying for allowlisting to MetaMask team and cooperating with them to make this process smooth.
For those who have not seen it yet, the architecture, development and audit processes have been described here.
It is worth mentioning that Hive snap configuration process allows requesting a new Hive account creation or extending authority of your existing one by interacting with Hive Bridge service. All you need is to install a MetaMask official extension to your browser and then complete an automatically started wizard.
The above service allows requesting Hive account creation in a very convenient and easy way - just by sharing a creation link with your Hive friend who should execute a prepared transaction.
We hope that MetaMask integration will bring new users 🧑🤝🧑 to our platform as well as will make lives of those having accounts on different chains simpler... Increasing 🚀 Hive popularity is one of our key goals...
Thank you for reading. We are waiting for your feedback and hope the above work will make the lives of hundreds of Hive users happier.
