Consensys has unveiled a new product. The MetaMask Delegation Toolkit aims to simplify decentralized app development. It also seeks to improve Web3 user engagement.

The toolkit will be available on Ethereum Virtual Machine chains. These include Arbitrum, Avalanche, Base, Linea, Optimism and Polygon. Dan Finlay, MetaMask co-founder, spoke about the toolkit's potential.

"Parts of it can very easily be made chain agnostic," he told Cointelegraph. This suggests possible future expansion beyond Ethereum.

A Consensys study highlighted the need for such tools. Only 8% of 15,000 respondents felt very familiar with Web3. Many find crypto overly complex.

The toolkit aims to address this issue. It eliminates repetitive user actions. It also reduces direct interactions with Web3 infrastructure.

Finlay explained the toolkit's flexibility. "You can invite a person to an experience and give them an allowance," he said. "The enforcement system is totally open-ended."

The toolkit offers several key features. It enables instant user onboarding without extensions or downloads. It removes the need for seed phrase management.

Gas fee management is also improved. The toolkit allows for gasless transactions. It can also postpone or reassign gas costs.

Consensys recently acquired Wallet Guard. This security tool protects digital assets from fraud and theft. It will be integrated into MetaMask.

Patrick Berarducci, Consensys' MetaMask lead, commented on the acquisition. He said it would protect users from "malicious DApps and scams."
