  4. Aleo Snaps Presentation:
    Piotr is a software engineer who participates in the Grants program! He’s built an Aleo wallet using new Metamask Snaps!
  5. Those Snaps basically allow users to write a JavaScript package and deploy it to the Metamask wallet: https://github.com/MetaMask/SIPs. Snaps can expand compatibility and improve user experience!
  6. 1. First, you can connect your Metamask to Aleo Snaps: Give permission to use this software and Install Snap (open your private key).
    2. Then you can Create your Aleo account in Metamask.
    3. Also you’ll be able to Recover your account (just like Exporting account in metamask)
    4. You’ll be able to Sign messages with Aleo Snap. (I highly suggest you to watch Demo presentation once it’s out!
    This Wallet is only compatible with Testnet 2 at the moment,
    1st version of Metamask Snaps should be out in Q1 next year!
