The Kadena Snap allows users to manage and transfer assets across all Kadena chains using MetaMask’s familiar security model. It, therefore, eliminates the need to download another wallet for interacting with both Kadena and other blockchains.
More specifically, the Kadena Snap provides methods for checking connection status, managing accounts, interacting with networks, and signing transactions.
To interact with any snaps, including the Kadena one, you will need to go through a dApp that supports it. Please note that you will not be able to interact with the Kadena Snaps from inside the MetaMask extension.
We’ve created an example application at https://metamask.kadena.io/ to showcase what’s possible with the the Kadena Snap. The dApp supports Kadena same-chain and cross-chain transfers of the native token, $KDA; and it automatically uses a gas station for paying the gas fees of users that don’t have enough funds to complete these transfers.
It does not yet support NFTs or other tokens, but future developments will depend on demand.

Furthermore, the Kadena Snap has undergone rigorous security measures, including an audit conducted by Veridise, an approved MetaMask auditor.
Additionally, it has been manually reviewed by the MetaMask team prior to being listed in the Snaps directory.

While Kadena asset management isn't available directly in MetaMask, you can still do the following within the plugin:
