MetaMask’s newest brainchild, “Transaction Shield,” is now live

-

Are you ready to take your wallet’s paranoia to a whole new, pay-to-play level?

For a modest $9.99 a month, this subscription promises to refund up to $10,000 if its threat detection gets hoodwinked and lets a malicious transaction slip through.

Imagine a digital insurance policy for when your crypto wallet mistakenly waves a shady contract through the gate, only to find out it was a wolf in blockchain’s clothing.

Stop the nightmares

Remember the unlucky soul who lost over $3 million last August thanks to a sneaky phishing scam wrapped in a “minting” disguise?

Transaction Shield attempts to stop that kind of nightmare by stepping in if the system says, “Go ahead” but the funds vanish faster than you can say “sign here.”

MetaMask picks up the tab, up to $10K, if your transaction was falsely declared safe.

If you get duped after losing your private keys or fall for phishing, tough luck, no rescue mission here. Also, no bailouts for protocol hacks or market swings.

The coverage keeps a hard cap at $10,000 monthly spanning 100 transactions, with claims needed within 21 days and payouts showing up in mUSD about 15 business days later.

Supporting all the major EVM chains

MetaMask’s defenders don’t shirk front lines either. This shield isn’t just guarding assets on Ethereum.

Experts highlighted that we got a broad perimeter covering Arbitrum, Polygon, BNB Chain, and Base, basically all the major EVM chains.

Right now, it’s like your security detail is only in the browser extension but keep those blinking eyes peeled for the mobile version, coming soon.

Peace of mind

This move signals a sharp pivot from the usual “here’s a toolkit, good luck” to a concierge-style security, MetaMask’s now cashing in on users’ fears, real fears though, turning crypto security into a subscription cash cow.

Retailers can breathe a little easier, knowing there’s a fiscal safety net beneath that terrifying “Sign” button.

So, strap in, crypto adventurers. MetaMask just threw down the gauntlet, daring predators of the blockchain wilds while gently squeezing your wallet at the same time.

The “Sign” button now comes with a catch, pay up for peace of mind or go boldly into the digital jungle without a net. Choose wisely.
