Push snap is a tool that allows users to receive real-time notification alerts of their favourite web3 applications directly in their Metamask wallet.
Push snaps aims to resolve this specific UX issue by bringing all essential updates of the user directly into their Metamask wallet itself. This completely eliminates the need to bounce between multiple web3 applications as the user’s Metamask wallet itself acts as a unified notification center for all imperative web3t updates for the user.
Installation and set up of Push Snap includes 5-simple steps:
- Go to Metamask Snap Directory
- Installation of Snap: Click on Add to Metamask button shown above. This initiates the process of adding Push snap to your own metamask wallet.
- Setting-Up Push Snap: Once installed, you should be prompted to visit Push Dapp. Visit the dapp to proceed with next steps.
- Adding your Address to the Snap: Once connected to the dapp, the snap will require confirmation to add your address. Addition of address in the snap means enabling your wallet to receive notifications.
- Opt-In to Channels: Once address is added, simply click on Get Started. This takes you to the Push Protocol Channels page wherein you can opt-in to any of your favourite channels to receive real-time notifications.
