Comprehensive Review of MetaMask by PayRate42

07-02-2024 04:42 PM CET | Business, Economy, Finances, Banking & Insurance

Press release from: PayRate42

PayRate42 has conducted a thorough analysis of MetaMask, a leading self-custodial crypto wallet developed by ConsenSys Software Inc. MetaMask, available as a browser extension and mobile app, provides secure login, token storage, and exchange functionalities.

Key Insights:

Trading Name: MetaMask
Legal Entity: ConsenSys Software Inc.
Activities: Self-custodial Crypto wallet
Location: USA
Regulations: Unregulated
Key People: Aaron Davis and Dan Finlay
MetaMask supports Ethereum, ERC-20 tokens, and multiple blockchains, including Binance Smart Chain, Polygon, and Avalanche. Despite its popularity, the wallet faces challenges such as SEC scrutiny, privacy concerns, and mixed customer reviews.

Compliance Issues:
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has filed a lawsuit against ConsenSys, alleging that MetaMask's staking service functions as an unregistered securities broker. The SEC claims that MetaMask Swaps, which charges a 0.875% transaction fee, violates securities laws. This lawsuit highlights the regulatory challenges faced by the crypto industry.

Data Security Critic:
MetaMask has been criticized for collecting user data via its default RPC provider, Infura. This raised privacy concerns, linking blockchain activity with personal data. Co-founder Dan Finlay acknowledged the issue and emphasized ongoing efforts to improve privacy.

Conclusion:
Due to ongoing SEC investigations, poor customer reviews, and data collection allegations, PayRate42 has rated MetaMask as orange in compliance and customer satisfaction. Users are advised to exercise caution when using this platform.
