Metamask Exceed 10M Monthly Active Users, Year Over Year Growth 1,800%
Metamask announced on Tuesday that the noncustodial digital currency wallet platform has surpassed 10 million monthly active users (MAUs). Metamask has seen 19x growth since July 2020.
10 Million Monthly Active Users
Metamask is a popular Ethereum blockchain wallet that is also compatible with technologies like Polygon, Optimism, and Arbitrum. It was created by the blockchain software company Consensys in 2016 and a great number of decentralized finance (defi) applications support Metamask.
Metamask announced on Tuesday that in July 2020 the platform saw 545,080 MAUs and by April 2021, Metamask had 3 million MAUs. Today, Metamask has 10,354,279 MAUs and has grown 1,800% since July 2020.
The company described some of the growth drivers that pushed the software’s MAU growth exponentially. For one, Metamask is considered the “primary way” global defi users interact with 17,000 unique Web3 domains. Metamask is also used to access the growing phenomenon of non-fungible token (NFT) assets that have taken the world by storm.
Other factors that accelerated Metamask growth and one of them was the token swap feature. Alongside this, the Metamask mobile software gave the blockchain wallet an extra push in September 2020. Metamask’s growth announcement details:
“The launch of the mobile version in September 2020 has played a crucial role in rapidly bringing new users from global markets such as the Philippines, Vietnam, China, India, Indonesia, Thailand, and Brazil.”
