Mask Network has launched a new version of Mask for Twitter with a trading widget. The new version allows Twitter users to access market data and trade ERC20 tokens (Ethereum-based tokens) without leaving Twitter.
The new trading widget powered by Mask is built with an integration of Uniswap trading DEX and CoinMarketCap market aggregator.
When a user hovers his mouse over the ‘$+ticker’ the new Mask widget pops up a new window featuring market data with prices and an interface for trading on Uniswap. Users are required to install the Mask plugin in other to use this feature.
In a Tweet thread announcing the new widget on September 24, the platform (Mask Network) said it will expand the service to other popular social media platforms such as Facebook introducing a new suite of decentralized finance (DeFi) apps for users of Web 2.0.
Mask Network started as an encrypted messaging provider for Web 2.0 users. The platform initially allowed facebook and twitter users to send and receive encrypted messages without leaving the platform.
