On July 31, Telegram messenger announced an update that introduces several new features, including an integrated Web3 browser and a mini-app store.

Wallet Guard, a browser-based app, identifies scams and malware in real time. ConsenSys is integrating this functionality into MetaMask.

The NFT marketplace, Magic Eden, has unveiled its own crypto wallet, created in partnership with Exodus. Presently, it is available as a downloadable extension for the Chrome browser.

Through a Telegram announcement, the Fantom Foundation disclosed that an exploit in Google Chrome led to the theft of assets from the company's hot wallets.

Uniswap, the decentralized exchange, officially released its Uniswap Extension browser add-on to the public. This extension serves as a non-custodial wallet with an integrated swap feature located on the browser's sidebar, rather than the usual pop-up window.

The widely-used cryptocurrency wallet, MetaMask, is collaborating with the startup Blockaid to introduce embedded security notifications within its browser extension.

In a lawsuit filed in San Francisco, crypto influencer Joel Dietz claims that Consensys stole his idea for a browser-based crypto wallet similar to MetaMask. Dietz alleges that he created the intellectual property that eventually became MetaMask under a project called Vapor in late 2014. He hired a person named Davis in 2015 to help with coding Vapor, but Dietz accuses Davis of betraying him and collaborating with Consensys instead. Consensys denies Dietz’s claims, stating that he falsely marketed himself as the founder of MetaMask to deceive investors.
