But what is MetaMask Snaps?
In case you’ve missed it, MetaMask Snaps is an open-source platform enabling developers to enhance MetaMask’s functionalities. It allows for the creation of plugins, known as “snaps,” that can integrate additional features such as support for various Layer 1 and Layer 2 blockchains, APIs, identity services, and more, which are not available in the basic version of MetaMask.
The Aleph Zero Snap expands the wallet’s capabilities by making it even more interoperable, adding a new layer 1 to the supported list of networks.
