Metamask vs Omni
Susma -Overview
Wallets are an essential tool for navigating Web3. You cannot avoid having a wallet but with so many of them out there, researching which one is the right option for you can get tedious. Here is the comparison of the Omni wallet vs. the Metamask wallet for factors that matter most to Web3 users.
What is Omni?
Omni is a mobile-first super wallet that brings everything Web3 users need to manage their assets across all major chains, from EVMs, to non-EVMs, and all major L2s. You can also manage your NFTs across major chains on top of being able to swap, bridge and stake in record speed, all in one place. On top of that, Omni is one of the most secure self-custodial wallets in the market, allowing you to even import your Ledger for maximum safety.
What is Metamask?
Metamask is a widely used wallet for EVM-compatible chains on both mobile and browser extensions. As a wallet that launched in 2016, it is one of the older wallets in the market that enables users to store and swap their assets. Metamask is also a self-custodial wallet that is used by most developers for deploying their dApps and by Web3 users for interacting with web3 applications.
