[MetaMask: User Assets and Private Keys Unaffected After Independent Operation] BlockBeats News, September 9 – MetaMask announced in a statement that starting today, it will begin a new phase of development as an independent company. The original Consensys Software Inc., which was behind MetaMask, will be renamed MetaMask and will fully focus on the consumer platform. Protocol and institutional infrastructure businesses, including Linea, will form a new company and continue to use the Consensys name. MetaMask stated that this adjustment will not affect existing users, as the application, assets, private keys, and access permissions will remain unchanged, and users do not need to take any action. The company plans to concentrate resources on developing MetaMask, evolving it from a crypto wallet into a platform where users can hold, spend, trade, and grow their funds, referring to this positioning as 'open money.'
