The Impact of Freename — MetaMask Snaps Integration
Most users, especially those switching from the Web2 ecosystem, struggle to interact with complex wallet addresses that are often long strings of alphanumeric characters. In fact, it is one of the main barriers to crypto adoption because remembering traditional wallet addresses or manually entering characters is almost impossible for a typical user.
The integration of MetaMask Snaps with Freename domains eliminates the need to remember complex wallet addresses. It allows network users to send and receive payments using a domain name. The “Pay with Domains” feature not only prevents the need to enter a complex wallet address but also masks the address, maintaining privacy. It also facilitates faster, easier and more secure transactions.
Moreover, this (Pay with Domains) feature allows users to send/receive payments across multiple blockchains. The cross-chain functionality powered by Freename Resolution Snap prevents the need to switch from one network to another and copy-paste lengthy addresses.

This Snap utilized the official Snap SDK, ensuring seamless domain resolution. The Freename Resolution Snap makes it effortlessly easy for MetaMask Wallet users to manage and interact with blockchain-based domain names.
