Manage your ENJ and access the Enjin Blockchain with ease using Enjin Snap for MetaMask. Install via dApps or Snaps Store and streamline your crypto experience!

Welcome the Enjin Snap. Enjin Snap is a new tool that brings Enjin Blockchain straight into the browsers of over 30M monthly MetaMask users. Extending MetaMask’s core functionality, Enjin Snap enables users of the popular cryptocurrency wallet browser extension MetaMask to easily send, receive and manage their Enjin Coin (ENJ) straight from their favorite browser extensions.

What Is a Snap?

A Snap is an add-on to MetaMask that allows functionality beyond its native Ethereum support. By installing Enjin Snap to their MetaMask, users can manage and hold Enjin Coin, interact with all Enjin Blockchain networks, and sign transactions directly through their MetaMask browser extension.

How to Set Up the Enjin Snap

Here are two straightforward ways to set up the Enjin Snap:

1. Connect Through Enjin dApps

When you’re connecting with any of Enjin’s services, such as NFT.io, Enjin Platform, or Enjin Console, simply select the option “MetaMask”, and if you have the MetaMask browser extension installed in your browser, you’ll be simply prompted to allow the installation of the Enjin Snap to your MetaMask. Once approved, the Snap will install automatically, and your MetaMask will be Enjin ready.

2. Install directly from the MetaMask Snaps Store

You may also install the Enjin Snap manually and directly through the MetaMask Snaps Store at snaps.metamask.io/snap/npm/enjin-io/snap/. From there, you can easily add it to your MetaMask in just a few clicks.

Once installed, the Enjin Snap becomes a seamless part of your MetaMask wallet.

What Can the Enjin Snap Do?

Once set up, the Enjin Snap provides the following functionality for interacting with the Enjin Blockchain:

  1. View Enjin Blockchain Addresses. Access your Enjin Blockchain accounts directly through MetaMask.‍
  2. View ENJ Token Balances. Check your ENJ token balances across the Enjin Blockchain.‍
  3. Sign Enjin Blockchain Transactions. Use MetaMask to securely approve and sign transactions associated with the Enjin Blockchain dApps.‍
  4. Send ENJ Tokens. When sending ENJ tokens, the Snap redirects you to the Enjin Console, where you can complete the transaction.

The Snap works across both the Enjin Mainnet (Enjin Relaychain and Enjin Matrixchain) and the Enjin Testnet (Canary Relaychain and Canary Matrixchain).

How Does the Enjin Snap Work?

The Enjin Snap derives its functionality directly from your existing MetaMask setup. Here’s how:

  • The Snap generates an Ethereum private key based on your MetaMask seed phrase using the derivation path m/44'/1155'/0'/0'/0.
  • This private key is then used to create an ed25519 account, which is compatible with the Enjin Blockchain.

Essentially, your Enjin Snap account is tied to your MetaMask wallet, meaning you don’t need to manage a separate wallet or recovery phrase.

Can I Use My Enjin Snap Account Elsewhere?

If you’re a more advanced user and want to import your Enjin Snap account into another wallet (such as the Enjin Wallet), you can use the derived keys to do so. This flexibility ensures that your accounts are interoperable across different applications.

ℹ️ Quick Security Note

Your MetaMask seed phrase is the foundation of your Enjin Snap account. If you lose access to your MetaMask wallet, you can recover your Enjin Snap account by importing the same seed phrase into MetaMask.

To avoid losing access, always store your recovery phrase securely in an offline location. Without it, you won’t be able to recover your wallet or your ENJ tokens.

Why Use the Enjin Snap?

The Enjin Snap is a practical tool for anyone involved in the Enjin ecosystem. It simplifies account management, provides seamless access to the Enjin Blockchain, and allows you to manage your ENJ tokens directly within MetaMask.

If you use MetaMask regularly and want to interact with the Enjin Blockchain, the Enjin Snap is a straightforward solution to streamline your workflow.
