OpenMask Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Industry standard level

    OpenMask positioning itself as “MetaMask for TON” is not mere words. The extension is decked with all the same functionality as the leading Ethereum wallet.

  • Advanced security

    The security of OpenMask is on par with the safest browser extension crypto wallets but then they go the extra mile. The keys and credentials are stored in an isolated context, and extra authentication can be set up to approve actions and transactions.

  • Simple yet powerful

    OpenMask is a lightweight extension that supports essential features of the TON Network: Jettons, NFT, TON DNS, TON WWW, TON Proxy, and TON Sites. It is a full-fledged Web3 application.

Cons

  • Super-specific

    OpenMask, like MetaMask, is a single-chain wallet, with TON and Toncoin tokens support only. MetaMask became as big as it is because Ethereum is the largest blockchain platform but The Open Network still has way to go to be as widespread.

  • No customer support

    OpenMask being a non-commercial project means that there is no customer service to promptly answer to user queries. Developers can connect through Github and Telegram but regular users are as good as left to their own devices.

Final Verdict

For the task it sets out to do, OpenMask is a powerful tool with essential features only.
