ChainCatcher news, according to The Block, MetaMask has announced the launch of a new feature called Snaps, aimed at expanding its use on blockchain networks that are not compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) itself. Snaps will enable MetaMask to operate on non-EVM blockchains, including Cosmos, Solana, and Starknet.
