Today is the 1 year anniversary of the launch of the MetaMask Snaps platform. To say that the past year has been a whirlwind experience is an understatement. Time for a thread! 🧵

I’d like to talk a little bit about how we got here and what comes next.

Snaps started with an idea: what if anyone could extend MetaMask? The first Snap, before they were even called Snaps, was a Cosmos add-on built in 2019, 3 years before I even joined MetaMask. Over the next few years, many folks contributed to build this unique platform that would eventually power a wide variety of use cases. When we launched the platform in September of 2023, we had about 35 Snaps in our directory for users to try!

Since then we have continued to foster an ecosystem of developers making the most popular self-custodial wallet even better with many new features. With Snaps, you can already do so much:

🔹 explore blockchains like Bitcoin, Solana, Cosmos, & Starknet
🔹 add custom multisig accounts with 2FA 
🔹 get notifications from dapps
🔹 get warnings about potentially malicious transactions
🔹 interact with identity and privacy protocols
🔹 and much, much more...

So what does the future hold? Soon we will be launching new categories based on new APIs that will increase readability and trust in MM. You will also see Snaps delivering richer and more interactive experiences inside of MetaMask. And, we will be showcasing the first examples of Snaps running on MetaMask Mobile.

The future holds so much promise, because when we empower builders to do more with MetaMask, everyone wins.

You can check out all the Snaps currently allowlisted in our official directory: https://snaps.metamask.io 

You can also learn how to build your own Snaps in our docs: https://docs.metamask.io/snaps/

Just today we have 5 new Snaps submitted for allowlisting, talk about timing! Developer activity continues to go 🆙

Here's to another big year 🥳

Year One by the numbers: 

🔹 Over 1 million Snaps added to MetaMask by users
🔹 70+ Snaps allowlisted by 60+ developer teams
🔹 50+ non-EVM blockchains supported by Snaps along with a myriad of new features across 4 categories

It's been a big year!
