The partnership between the payments firm and MetaMask developer ConsenSys is intended to enable users to select their PayPal accounts as a payment option to buy ether (ETH) from within the MetaMask app. The offering is designed to facilitate seamless purchases and transfers of ether from PayPal to MetaMask.
MetaMask stated it wanted to help bring more users into the web3 ecosystem at a time when the sector is looking for a way forward during the crypto winter. Select U.S. customers can access the new offering beginning today as PayPal works to roll out the service to the rest of its U.S. customers over the next few weeks.
MetaMask’s founder is Aaron Davis.
