Metamask, a popular cryptocurrency wallet, has announced the integration of Apple Pay into its ecosystem, as well as additional iOS upgrades.
With this feature, Metamask, owned by ConsenSys, will allow users to seamlessly purchase crypto with a credit card or a debit card. This means that users do not need to utilize centralized exchanges to buy crypto with their debit or credit cards.
According to their tweet,
“MetaMask Mobile v4.3.1 is LIVE with some exciting updates:
Buy crypto on iOS with Apple Pay (@sendwyre), more transparency when interacting with sites, & support for gasless transactions where relevant.
Does it get any better? Yes, it does! We now have dark mode!”
Metamask utilizes two payment gateways, Transak and Wyre, to ensure that users can initiate transactions using their debit and credit cards. The Apple Pay integration enables users to use their Apple Pay card details to purchase cryptocurrencies such as Ether.
According to Metamask, this new feature offers users cheaper transaction fees. It also includes the free gas fee option if the user’s gas expenses are paid for by someone else or if the user transacts on networks that support gasless transactions.
In its tweet thread, Metamask also advised users to be wary of interacting with contracts, as there may be theft attempts by hackers.
