2020年1月6日，因MetaMask官方推特一则介绍MetaMask Swaps的视频更新，随后Shapeshift首席执行官Erik Voorhees在推特发布一条预告推文并配上神似MetaMask品牌Logo的标志图。两者关联起来即引发加密社区关于MetaMask发币的猜测。而这一消息迅速在中国加密社区传播，几乎所有的中国区块链媒体都发表了MetaMask发币的报道，触觉敏锐的网友纷纷开始进行MetaMask相关交互操作提前埋伏，企图获得MetaMask代币空投。
On 6 January 2020, as a result of a video update of MetaMask Swaps by the official Twitter account of MetaMask, Shapeshift Chief Executive Officer Erik Voorhees posted on Twitter a pre-advertisement with a logo that resembled the MetaMask brand Logo. The association triggered encoded community speculation about MetaMask’s coining.
然而细心的网友发现，Shapeshift发行了一个名为“FOX”的项目，其Logo则为Erik Voorhees预告推文发布的小狐狸标志，对此网友认为Erik Voorhees推文大概率是在预告自己的项目，但因其项目Logo神似MetaMask，让不少人误以为其在预告MetaMask发币，才导致此次的乌龙事件。
However, careful web users found that Shapeshift had published a project called “FOX” and that his logo was a little fox sign for Erik Voorhees' prognosis, for which he thought that Erik Voorhees' prognosis was probably a prognosis for his project, but because his project Logo looked like Metamask, which led many people to think that it was a pre-arrangement for MetaMask to pay.
发币事件的真假，中国区块链媒体链闻咨询了MetaMask母公司ConsenSys得到了确切的答案，ConsenSys否认MetaMask发币的传闻。
The genuineness of the currency issue, the Chinese block chain media link consulted MetaMask's parent company, ConsenSys, for the exact answer, and ConsenSys denied the rumours that MetaMask had issued the currency.
通过此次事件，不难发现MetaMask俨然成为全球区块链行业最受关注的以太坊轻钱包，关于MetaMask的一举一动都能引起社区极其高的讨论热度。
As a result of the incident, it was not difficult to find that MetaMask was becoming one of the world's most visible sectors in the block chain industry, and that every move on MetaMask could cause extremely high levels of discussion in the community.
MetaMask的前世今生
MetaMask被誉为是世界上最优秀最好用的以太坊开源钱包，能够帮助投资者轻松简便地管理自己的以太坊资产。使用MetaMask无需下载客户端，只需要添加至浏览器扩展程序即可使用。使用的方便帮助电脑解放内存，同时兼具测试以太坊智能合约功能，支持最全的Dapp、能够与硬件钱包Ledger和Trezor兼容、一键发币等优势，使得这款最轻量级的以太坊钱包一经推出便受到以太坊社区的欢迎。
MetaMask is known as the world’s best and most useful Ether wallet, which helps investors to easily manage their Ether assets. Using MetaMask does not have to download a client, it can only be used if it is added to the browser extension. The user-friendly computer helps free memory, with a test Ether smart contract function, supports the best Dapp, is compatible with the hardware wallets Ledger and Trezor, and has one key start, making the smallest Ether wallet welcome to the community as soon as it is launched.
MetaMask母公司是由由以太坊联合创始人Joseph Lubin创办的区块链巨头“三大支柱”之一的ConsenSys。作为以太坊的联创Joseph Lubin，当然全部目光都集中在以太坊生态建设的事业上。ConsenSys成立多年来孵化了50多个有助于以太坊生态成长的知名项目，涵盖核心集成组件、服务、开发人员工具、基础设施项目、B2C dapps、企业解决方案、多平台的应用程序等等。同时通过与政府部门、金融机构、互联网巨头等建立亲密的合作关系，将以太坊推向主流世界。
The MetaMask mother company is ConsenSys, one of the “three pillars” of the block chain, founded by Joseph Lubin, a co-founder of Ether's association. As Joseph Lubin, a joint venture of Ether's kind, of course, the whole focus is on Ether's ecological development. ConsenSys has hatched over the years more than 50 well-known projects that have contributed to the ecological growth of Tai's community, covering core integration components, services, human development tools, infrastructure projects, B2C dapps, enterprise solutions, multi-platform applications, etc. It will move to the mainstream world through close partnerships with government departments, financial institutions, Internet giants, etc.

MetaMask是ConsenSys布局的六大业务板块基础设施板块的重点项目，虽然此前曾有新闻爆出MetaMask贡献者反馈在MetaMask的发展过程中并没有得到ConsenSys太多的支持，然而这一说法遭到了首席开发者Daniel Finlay的否认，Daniel Finlay表示在MetaMask项目开发过程中，团队得到了ConsenSys和创始人Joe Lubin莫大的支持，并对母公司的支持表示感谢。Daniel Finlay的回应也粉碎了ConsenSys不重视MetaMask及团队方向迷茫的谣言。
MetaMask was the focus of six major business infrastructure blocks in the ConsenSys layout, and although earlier news leaks from MetaMask contributors did not receive much support from ConsenSys in the development of MetaMask, this claim was denied by the lead developer, Daniel Finlay, who said that during the development of the MetaMask project, the team had the support of ConsenSys and his founder, Joe Lubinmo, and thanked the parent company for its support. Daniel Finlay’s response also crushed the rumour that ConsenSys did not value MetaMask and his team’s direction.
从ConsenSys2020年的年度回顾报告来看，事实上MetaMask依然是ConsenSys极具战略地位的产品线之一。
According to the annual review of ConsenSys for 2020, in fact, MetaMask remains one of the most strategic product lines of ConsenSys.

在开发和团队磨合过程中多少存在不少插曲，并不妨碍MetaMask从推出到现在表现一如既往的强势，这离不开其背后优秀的团队。MetaMask团队大多是来自互联网巨头苹果，创始人Aaron Davis和首席开发者Dan Finlay是前同事兼好友，Aaron Davis是通过参与比特币社区活动进入区块链行业，随后因认同以太坊的理念而投入到以太坊的生态建设中来。MetaMask团队规模只有25人，麻雀虽小然配置齐全，职位分工明确涵盖了从营销、开发、产品、运营、设计在内的各个岗位。除此之外，MetaMask有着分布在全世界各地的社区贡献者配合团队一起将MetaMask推广至全球加密用户。
Most of the Metamask teams are from Internet giants MetaMask团队成员 & nbsp; & nbsp; &k; &k; members; & nbsp; & nbsp; 2018年 8月11日，MetaMask正式推出中文版并迅速上线了360、百度等国内一线的浏览器应用市场。MetaMask官方中文名为数字面具，然而由于其品牌Logo“一只3D立体的狐狸头”实在是太过于深入人心，于是被中文社区亲切地称为小狐狸。据说在确定品牌Logo时，主设计师设计了多个版本的狐狸头，最后经过团队的多番讨论最终定下了这个跟面具一般的3D立体的狐狸头。 The official Chinese name of MetaMask is Digital Mask, but the name Logo's “a 3D shape fox head” is too deep-seated to be called a fox by the Chinese community. It is said that in determining the brand Logo, the designer designed multiple versions of the fox head, which was finally finalized by the team's discussion of the mask's 3D head. 历史经验证明独特鲜明的品牌Logo在市场推广中占据极大的优势，总是能让人“一眼千年，难以忘怀”，从UniSwap的粉色独角马到MetaMask的3D狐狸头无一不独特而新颖，这也给后来的区块链项目起一个很好的示范作用—重视品牌Logo的设计，一个好的品牌Logo能在品牌推广中起到事半功倍的效果。 Historical experience has shown that the unique brand, Logo, has a great advantage in market promotion, and that it can always be “a thousand years away”, and that the three-d foxes, from UniSwap's pink unicorn to MetaMask, are unique and novel, which also provides a good demonstration for subsequent block chain projects — a focus on the design of the brand Logo, a good brand Logo that can do a half-time job in brand promotion. 令人印象深刻的品牌形象能够给项目加分，然而无论是什么类型的产品都必须有一个【啊哈时刻】—，才能留住用户。【啊哈时刻】即所谓的“爽点”，用户第一次使用产品就能Get到产品的价值。MetaMask的【啊哈时刻】则是其与市面上的绝大多数以太坊钱包不同，它足够轻便易用，颠覆了区块链投资者对钱包的固有印象，用浏览器即能访问以太坊的入口。 An impressive brand image can add value to the project, yet any type of product must have a [ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha. The first-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha. The first-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha. 然而始终移动互联网市场才是时代的发展潮流，MetaMask在发展过程中为了顺应不同区域市场的需求，最终还是推出了移动端。移动端的推出能够进一步地帮助MetaMask扩大移动互联网高度发达的中国市场。 However, 品牌形象独特鲜明、拥有出彩的产品功能特点，具备明显优势的MetaMask只需要一到两次的机遇就能成功脱颖而出。在MetaMask发展的过程中有两次因市场行情而“爆发”的大好时机。 With a distinctive brand image and colourful product features, MetaMask, with a distinct advantage, has only one or two opportunities to be successful. There are two good moments in the development of MetaMask to “spill” as a result of market behavior. 众所周知，2019年是加密货币行业的寒冬期，币价持续下跌致使加密市场持续低迷不振。然而这一年同样是以太坊生态发展取得重大进展的一年，DeFi兴起、网络、Dapp、开发者生态等多个方面均取得不俗的成果。以太坊网络新增Dapp达到520多个、新增账户数突破2000多万、新增活跃地址40万+。与此同时，DeFi、NFT、DAO等2020年爆红的概念项目在2019年也实现了锁仓资产量的爆发式增长。 It is well known that 2019 was a cold winter in the crypto-currency industry, and that the continuing fall in currency prices caused a continuing slump in the encryption market. But this year was also a year of significant progress in the development of the Taiku ecology, with the remarkable results of the rise of the DeFi, the network, Dapp, the developers’ ecology, etc. The new Dapp to over 520, the new accounts to reach more than 20 million, and the new active addresses to 400,000+. At the same time, DeFi, 以太坊生态的繁荣促进了人们对其基础设施的需求量暴增，MetaMask这类创新性产品则首先受到用户的青睐。以太坊生态的发展、隐私模式的推出及功能的完善，越来越多人开始关注到了MetaMask，这为MetaMask突破新的里程碑创造了极佳的条件，2019年，MetaMask在项目动态更新中透露用户数突破了130万。 The boom in the Taiwan ecology has contributed to a surge in demand for its infrastructure, and innovative products like MetaMask are first and foremost favoured by users. With the development of the Taiwan ecology, the introduction of a privacy model, and improved functionality, more and more people are beginning to focus on MetaMask, which has created excellent conditions for MetaMask to break new milestones, and in 2019, MetaMask revealed 1.3 million users in the project’s dynamic update. 这是MetaMask的第一次爆发。 This is the first eruption of MetaMask. 时间来到2020年，DeFi在2019年遛了一圈后虽未能成功出圈，2019年DeFi生态的建设仍然为DeFi2020年的爆发做了充足的铺垫。2020年6月DeFi借贷项目Compound的COMP代币一夜暴涨，价格一天翻了10倍之多。属于DeFi的时代正式掀开帷幕，从2020年6月到2020年10月，DeFi领域蓬勃发展，抢尽了风头。 By 2020, despite the failure of DeFi to travel a circle in 2019, the construction of the DeFi ecology in 2019 had paved the way for the outbreak of DeFi in 2020. In June 2020, the DeFi lending project Comboud’s COMP currency surged overnight, with prices doubling by 10 times a day. The era of DeFi officially opened, with the DeFi sector booming from June 2020 to October 2020. 随着DeFi的爆红，DeFi协议中锁仓金额从年初的7亿美元增加到12月的150亿美元。加密市场一夜之间也诞生了无数个优秀的项目：去中心化交易协议、去中心化借贷、去中心化保险等。在短期高利益高回报的财富效应驱动下，让全球加密用户涌入以太坊网络进行流动性挖矿、质押、交易。这也使得整个2020年夏天以太坊网络的用户活跃度持续不断地上升。在2020年9月17日以太坊日交易量突破140万笔，创下历史新高。 With DeFi’s explosion, the amount of lockdown in the DeFi agreement rose from $700 million at the beginning of the year to $15 billion in December. The encryption market also saw the birth of numerous excellent projects overnight: decentralized trading agreements, decentralized lending, decentralized insurance, and so forth. DeFi爆火，以太坊网络交易量持续攀升 & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & & nbsp; & & nbsp; & & nF; & nbsp; & & & nbsp; & F; & & & & 大量DeFi项目、DeFi数字资产在以太坊上创建的同时，意味着大量用户对钱包的需求在急速增长。作为以太坊钱包中的佼佼者，大量的用户涌进了MetaMask。 The creation of a large number of DeFi projects, DeFi digital assets in Etheria, means that the demand for wallets is growing rapidly for a large number of users. As the master of Ether’s wallets, a large number of users have poured into MetaMask. 据NewsBTC报道，人们在对比了MetaMask月活跃用户增长曲线和DeFi资金锁仓量增长曲线后，发现两者之间存在着正相关的关系。 According to NewsBTC, there is a positive correlation between the Meta Mask monthly active user growth curve and the DeFi financial lock-down growth curve. MetaMask月度活跃用户与DeFi 的资金锁仓量 & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & Metamask monthly active user and DeFi 显然DeFi市场的爆发推动了MetaMask的用户增长，而这只是其中的一个原因，据媒体分析MetaMask第二次的爆发跟现象级的产品UniSwap息息相关。今年夏天，以UniSwap为代表的去中心化交易协议登上历史舞台，以一天成交量超过10亿美元，超过交易所巨头 Coinbase Pro再到后来超越一线交易平台币安。DEX在2020年成功超车，在2019年全球DEX的交易量仅占全球加密货币交易市场的1%，剩下99%的市场份额被各大中心化交易所瓜分。DeFi狂潮的到来彻底改变了加密货币交易市场的局面，据Dune Analytics数据显示，2020年9越去中心化交易所（DEX）的月交易量已飙升至100亿美元以上。 It is clear that the outbreak of the DeFi market contributed to the growth of users in MetaMask, and this is one of the reasons why, according to media analysis, the second outbreak in MetaMask was linked to the phenomenon-based UniSwap. This summer, a decentralised deal, represented by UniSwap, took place on the historical stage, trading more than $1 billion a day, surpassing the exchange giant & nbsp; Coinbase Pro went beyond a single trading platform. DEX successfully oversized the global DEX market by 1% in 2019, leaving 99% of the market share divided by major central exchanges. UniSwap作为DEX赛道的最大交易平台，用户数在去年8月突破了14万，占据了去中心化交易所46%的市场份额。参与过DeFi项目及DEX交易的用户都知道，钱包是链接DEX和DeFi项目，方便投资者进行资产管理、储存资产、转账等必不可少的工具。由于其简易轻便、隐私性强等特性，在所有的支持Wallet Connect的钱包中，MetaMask最受投资者欢迎。几乎所有需要在以太坊链上DEX参与流动性挖矿的投资者都将MetaMask作为第一选择。 UniSwap, as the largest trading platform for the DEX track, passed 140,000 users in August last year, accounting for 46% of the market share of the decentralized exchange. Users who have been involved in the DeFi and DEX deals know that wallets are essential tools for linking DEX and DEX to facilitate investors’ asset management, asset storage, transfer, etc. Because of their simplicity and privacy, Metamask is most popular among all Wallet Connett’s wallets. 有媒体甚至直接把MetaMask的增长归功于Uniswap等去中心化协议的爆红，在2020年9月Uniswap宣布发币，空投给所有在9月1日前使用过UniSwap的用户，这一事件直接将MetaMask的月活推向新的里程碑。2020年10月6日，MetaMask官方Medium账号发布了新的动态，宣布MetaMask网页版和移动端的月活突破了100万，与2019年的264,000相比，月活同比增长超过了400%。 The media even directly attributed the growth of MetaMask to the explosion of decentralisation agreements such as Uniswap, announced in September 2020 that the currency would be issued by Uniswap and dropped on all users who had used UniSwap by 1 September, which directly pushed MetaMask’s monthly life to a new milestone. On 6 October 2020, the official Medium account of MetaMask released a new dynamic, declaring that the monthly life of the MetaMask web page and mobile end had broken by 1 million, an increase of more than 400% compared to 264,000 in 2019. MetaMask月活跃用户增长曲线 &kmbk; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & & nbsp; & & nbsp; & & nbsp; & nbsp 在文章中，团队也承认MetaMask的用户增长离不开以太坊DeFi生态的飞速发展。尽管DeFi热潮正慢慢退去，属于MetaMask时代才刚开始。 In his post, the team also acknowledged that the growth of the user base of MetaMask is based on the rapid development of the DeFi ecology of the Etherm. Although the tide of DeFi is slowly retreating, it is only the beginning of the Meta Mask era. 至此，MetaMask完成了它的第二次爆发一战封神。 At this point, MetaMask completed its second outbreak of World War I. 2020年12月ConsenSys宣布面向机构用户推一款新的MetaMask产品，在过去，MetaMask主要面向C端用户，MetaMask机构版本的推出将能够拓展交易公司和加密货币托管人等B端资源，有研究人员认为这是ConsenSys在继MetaMask Swap后尝试通过与机构用户合作提供金融业务的方式去实现流量变现，只有这样才能让MetaMask 得以持续性的经营发展，走得更远。 In December 2020, ConsenSys announced the introduction of a new MetaMask product for institutional users. In the past, MetaMask, a version of which was intended primarily for C-end users, will enable the introduction of B-end resources, such as trading companies and encrypted money custodians, and some researchers believe that ConsenSys, after MetaMask Swap, has tried to make the flow realization possible by working with institutional users in order to enable MetaMask to develop its operations on a sustainable basis and move further. 无论如何，如果短期内竞争对手未能推出更令人惊喜的产品，那么未来仍然以太坊轻钱包赛道依然是MetaMask的天下。 In any event, if competitors fail to produce more surprising products in the short term, the future will remain a Meta Mask track. 最后，如有兴趣体验MetaMask的朋友可查看文章《MetaMask使用教程》网页链接 Finally, friends interested in the use of MetaMask can view the web link of the article 参考文献： References: 《How Uniswap & DeFi Drove Ethereum Wallet MetaMask To 1M Users》—Tony Spilotro 《Top Ethereum Wallet MetaMask Hits Milestone Despite DeFi Slowdown》—Nick Chong 《以太坊生态系统在2019年的发展情况分析》—蓝狐笔记 Analysis of the Development of the Etheraya Ecosystems in 2019 - Blue Fox Note 《ConsenSys：加密行业中最重要的公司之一》—Frog AOA ConsenSys: One of the most important companies in the encryption industry—Frog AOA
