For over a decade, our teams helped build the foundations of Ethereum. MetaMask grew out of that work with a simple bet: people should be able to interact with Ethereum directly and control their own assets. Ten years later, MetaMask has become the world's most widely used self-custodial wallet. And self custody has become a foundational primitive for our ecosystem, and soon for the world. The original MetaMask vision has grown into something much bigger. We're building MetaMask into a place where people can hold, spend, trade and grow their money on open rails, while remaining in control. Becoming an independent company gives MetaMask the focus to take that vision much further.(Joseph Lubin)
