NEAR's Integration with MetaMask

    NEAR's Integration with MetaMask

    NEAR is a blockchain platform that offers a secure, scalable, and user-friendly environment for decentralized application (dApp) development. According to the official NEAR website, the platform aims to enable "low-friction, high-speed, and highly customizable blockchain applications" that can be used by businesses and individuals alike.

    One of the key features of NEAR is its integration with MetaMask, a popular browser extension wallet that is widely used to interact with Ethereum-based dApps. The integration was announced in May 2020 and enables MetaMask users to interact with NEAR-based dApps seamlessly. This has made it easier for developers to build and deploy dApps on NEAR, as they can leverage the existing infrastructure and user base of MetaMask.

    The integration with MetaMask has been seen as a significant milestone in NEAR's growth and adoption, positioning it as a viable competitor to Ethereum in the decentralized application development space. In a blog post announcing the integration, NEAR stated that it "opens up a whole new world of possibilities" for developers and users who want to build and interact with NEAR-based dApps.

    NEAR's integration with MetaMask has helped to expand the reach and impact of the NEAR ecosystem, making it easier for developers to build and deploy dApps on the platform, and providing users with a more seamless and familiar experience. It represents an important step forward in NEAR's efforts to become a leading player in the blockchain and dApp development space.

    Methodology

    To track the adoption and usage of NETH, we have implemented a methodology that involves identifying wallet addresses that have interacted with 'nethmap.near' in the transactions table, computing the number of transactions on NEAR for each wallet, determining wallet age by measuring the time difference between the first transaction date and the current time, identifying top users by activity, counting the number of wallets, and utilizing the daily activities query in the dashboard. This methodology enables us to perform a comprehensive analysis of NETH's adoption and usage trends over time.
