How To Send Eos To Wallet

One of the almost well-known wallets in the crypto and blockchain field is definitely MetaMask which, thanks to its versatility to add other blockchains inside it, has go the indispensable tool for every crypto user, also because information technology is enough just to have this wallet and y’all can command different ones blockchain and all at your fingertips.

This was also possible because different blockchains are very like to that of Ethereum and therefore also take the same parameters that brand the process easier and faster, while for other very dissimilar blockchains, peculiarly those that use an accounting arrangement like EOS, all it requires more than time and defended work.

And this is how, thanks to
EOS Argentina, which among other things is one of the Block Producers on the EOS blockchain, we take the long-awaited integration from several users and which allows us to integrate the EOS blockchain with the famous MetaMask wallet.

How to connect MetaMask with the EOS blockchain?

The main thing that needs to be washed is to install the MetaMask wallet, the browser extension is recommended, and once installed we must follow this footstep past step procedure:

First of all we demand to connect to this address and type the give-and-take EOS in the search field:

The EOS mainnet and the testnet will announced, since we need the mainnet and then we take to click on the “Connect Wallet” button, remember that nosotros must accept installed MetaMask and unlocked it with the password we entered during installation, and and then in the MetaMask notifications screen we have to click on “Next” and so on “Connect”:

Subsequently, on the site, we volition run across the words “Add To MetaMask” printing that push button and in the adjacent screen we accept to click on “Corroborate” and then on “Switch Network” as we will now move to the EOS network:

In fact, if we go to come across all the networks of the various blockchains that we will have with MetaMask, we volition too see the words “EOS Mainnet” and therefore based on the blockchain that we volition accept to apply we will have to select the suitable one, then if Ethereum we will select the 1 if EOS we will select EOS Mainnet :

In one case nosotros have configured everything, we will also have to add other tokens that we may need, such as USDT, pBTC, or pETH but also others, this is the complete list of the various addresses to add:

To add a token, only open the MetaMask wallet and at the lesser, we find the item “Add Token” and in the next screen we volition have to enter those parameters above, just enter the address of the smart contract and the wallet automatically fills in the rest and finally nosotros accept to press the “Next” push button and now the relative token will exist added:

How to transfer EOS or tokens between accounts?

In case nosotros have to transfer our EOS or other tokens from one business relationship to another, for example to or from a centralized exchange, so nosotros have to send or eolith the funds to the
etheraccount
accost and as a memo, we accept to enter our Ethereum address which is associated with our business relationship.

In fact, the first transaction we will have to practise is to ship at least 0.five EOS to the etheraccount and with memo our Ethereum address, as it is used to create our business relationship on the EOS blockchain and the private primal will be the aforementioned equally the Ethereum address that we take chosen to operate, so it will exist enough to import that private key likewise in another EOS wallet to be able to act with the related business relationship created (You need to convert before the Ethereum individual cardinal to EOS private central).

Advantages and disadvantages

Like any new tool, in that location are pros and cons at the commencement, all more or less solvable, and let’south start with the pros first of all every bit with this method, specially for those who practise non take an EOS business relationship, information technology becomes like shooting fish in a barrel to create it, as with the first transfer of 0.5 EOS an account is created automatically and you tin can use the same private key as the Ethereum address.

While one of the disadvantages of using this wallet is the fact that it does not manage EOS accounts, in the sense that to make the transfers y’all must necessarily enter an address 0x, every bit the smart contract behind (this) allows you to transfer from 1 address to another only if he has registered with the aforementioned and therefore straight sending cannot take place, a problem that is solved but past inserting the individual key of the Ethereum address in an EOS wallet and then exploiting all the power of the wallet and of the blockchain.

In fact, all transactions with this method pass from the smart contract, equally if it were a “middleman” who reads the memo and compares it with what he has in memory and if he finds the comparison then he turns the EOS to the relative assigned/connected EOS account, with everything that entails as in that location is a smart contract involved and the same could take issues or be attacked in some way as well considering information technology has not been audited yet.

Conclusions

Surely this represents an additional tool for users of the EOS blockchain equally everyone knows MetaMask and only follow these simple steps to connect the two things, namely wallet and blockchain, a very elementary arrangement every bit a new user afterward he has bought some EOS from an exchange, tin already send them to its MetaMask address and start operating.

Manifestly, given that it is a new tool, it volition accept some time for all the various dApps on the EOS blockchain to integrate this wallet within them, a slow simply gradual process over fourth dimension, and therefore even if for the moment there are very few dApps with this integration, in the long run, will increment more and more.
