MetaMask launches a bridge aggregator

MetaMask (Ethereum wallet provider) has announced the launch of MetaMask Bridges, a new aggregator designed to allow users to easily move their tokens across chains.

" MetaMask Bridges is a bridge aggregator to help you find the best routes to move your tokens from one chain to another," MetaMask said in a statement. "Whether you're being financially conscious or time efficient, you'll find the best routing option in a few clicks."

The company also noted that similar to how flight aggregators help users find the cheapest and/or fastest flight, MetaMask Bridges will help users find the cheapest and/or fastest way to move their tokens from one chain to another.

The integration is going to be provided by two bridge aggregators: Socket and LI.FI. In addition to this, MetaMask will also support a set of individual bridges via Socket and LI.FI, including Connext, Hop, Celer cBridge, and Polygon Bridge.

MetaMask says that the Bridges feature is designed to provide users with a smooth transition as they switch between chains, which might be handy for a serious trader who needs to move their assets around frequently.

MetaMask is used by millions of users and is one of the most popular Ethereum wallets.  It has been around for a while, so the fact that developers keep finding new ways to improve the user experience is not surprising.

Scammers take advantage of FTX’s ongoing issues

It’s been a tough few days for FTX users and holders of its FTT token. The top-tier crypto exchange is still struggling to restore transactions, deposits and withdrawals, leaving many people unable to access their funds. And to make matters worse, scammers are already trying to take advantage of the situation.

As FTX is still struggling to get its platform up and running, scammers are already swooping in to try and steal people’s money. We've seen reports of fake FTX support channels popping up on Telegram and Twitter, promising to help FTX users and holders of its FTT token get their funds back. Of course, as soon as you buy something from them or provide your personal data or give them access to your crypto, the scammers will disappear with your money.

So, while crypto users are guessing at how to recover their portfolios amid the ongoing bloodbath, scammers are aggressively attempting to jump on the hype train. Avoid these fake FTX channels at all cost and be extra vigilant about any suspicious activity in the crypto space. Remember that if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

FTX drama continues as SBF allegedly plans to raise money

Seems like Sam Bankman-Fried, the CEO of FTX is still trying to get whales back on board. One of the Twitter influencers known as "Cobie" posted some interesting leaked messages from Sam Bankman-Fried allegedly sent to FTX staff on the exchange's slack channel. In these messages, SBF talks about plans to raise money in order to reimburse customers and investors.

This seems like a desperate attempt to buy time and keep the platform afloat, the possibility of which remains very much in doubt.

The leaked messages not only discussed FTX's future but also plans to address customers' complaints through its support channels. The Twitter community is convinced that SBF might be the one responsible for leaking the messages. Most of them aren't happy about the recent announcement, believing it to be a stalling tactic.SBF also threw shade at Binance, saying that its competitor probably never had any intention of following through with the deal in the first place.

The drama continues, and it doesn't seem like it will be resolved anytime soon. The whole situation is a mess, and it's hard to tell who's in the right and who's in the wrong. One thing is certain: we as investors need to be very careful when dealing with these exchanges now.
