The XRP Ledger Snap operates within MetaMask’s secure environment, ensuring that your data and assets are protected at all times. Snaps run in a sandboxed environment, meaning they are isolated from your MetaMask account data and other browser extensions. This isolation, combined with a strict permissions model, allows you to control what each Snap can access. Before installing the XRP Ledger Snap, you can review and verify the permissions it requests.
To further ensure the security of the XRP Ledger Snap, its code has been audited by Safer, a leading blockchain security firm. Safer’s comprehensive audit covered the entire codebase, identifying and addressing potential vulnerabilities to ensure the Snap operates securely within MetaMask. The Snap is also subject to continuous monitoring and updates, ensuring that it remains secure against any emerging threats over time.
In addition to these safeguards, the XRP Ledger Snap utilizes the well-audited xrpl.js library to interact with the XRP Ledger network. This library is trusted by the XRP Ledger developer community and is regularly updated to incorporate the latest security enhancements. By using xrpl.js, the XRP Ledger Snap ensures that all interactions with the XRP Ledger are conducted securely and reliably, providing you with peace of mind while managing your XRP and other tokens.
