  • For increased security, many digital asset custodians choose to employ frequent authentication mechanisms between themselves and the organizations they serve. Organizations therefore often need to authenticate in order to retain connection with their custodian. We have simplified this process to the click of a button to minimize disruption to the user experience.
  • We’ve updated our custodian integration documentation with guides, videos, sample code, and gifs to reduce the engineering hours required to integrate.

Launch of the MMI Portfolio Dashboard
JANUARY 2022

MMI launches custodian account multi-chain capabilities. This brings four important benefits to the crypto funds, trading desks, market makers, and other organizations working with MMI:

  1. Custodial accounts on MMI, similar to those on the original MetaMask wallet, are now available across EVM networks. Hello sidechains and L2s!
  2. We’ve made it easier for our custodian and custody tech provider partners to roll out access to more EVM chains.
  3. As our custodian partners roll out more EVM chain support, users will automatically gain access to accounts on these chains.
  4. The above changes enable the bridging of assets across chains.

There it is: Web3 access and bridging across multiple EVM chains.

YEAR-END 2021

“MetaMask Institutional works with crypto funds, market makers, prime brokers, hedge funds and custodians across the globe. Given the sophisticated needs of our users, we think deeply about the entire transaction-flow process for crypto institutions—from onramps, custody, research and pre-trade compliance, to execution, yield, analytics, monitoring and reporting—a capital allocation stack mental model if you will.

Within this capital allocation stack, we focus on two core principles: First, partnering with world-class businesses to address our users’ needs; and second, where we at ConsenSys, can provide unique value to our users and partners.” —Johann Bornman, Global Product Lead of MMI

This is a review of the steps we’ve taken in each quarter of 2021 across this capital allocation stack.
