MetaMask: User assets, private keys, etc. remain unaffected after independent operation

BlockBeats News, September 9th, MetaMask announced that starting today, it will embark on a new development phase as an independent company. Consensys Software Inc., the entity behind MetaMask, will be renamed MetaMask and fully focus on consumer platforms; meanwhile, protocol and institutional infrastructure businesses, including Linea, will form a new company that continues to use the Consensys name.

MetaMask stated that this adjustment will not affect existing users, as its application, assets, private keys, and access permissions remain unchanged, requiring no action from users. The company will concentrate resources on developing MetaMask in the future, expanding it from a crypto wallet into a platform where users can hold, spend, trade, and grow their funds, positioning this vision as "open money."
