Push snap is a powerful tool that allows any wallet address to receive notifications directly in the Metamask wallet. With Push Snap, one can now seamlessly receive notifications powered by Push Protocol directly in their wallet, ensuring you never miss out on important updates from the channels that they subscribe to.
The goal of Push Snap is to enhance your Web3 experience by delivering notifications directly to your wallet address, eliminating the need to log in to any other front-end separately. This streamlined approach saves you time and effort, allowing you to stay connected and informed in Web3 with ease.
Snap Features:
The main features of version 1 of Push Snap include:
- Notifications: Notifying users of all imperative updates from the channels that they opt-in to.
- Address Selection: Addition or Removal of their desired address for Notification
- Customization of Pop-Ups: Snap allows users to toggle popup notifications at their convenience.
Brief glance at the snap’s working mechanism
- The snap requests permission to run periodically every minute.
- While at it, it scouts for all new notifications/alerts received by your wallet during the very last minute.
- It then bundles them together and shows all of them in the form of a pop-up as well as in-app notifications.
- It allows users to update their address for which they prefer to receive notifications.
- It also includes features to toggle the Pop-Up of notifications as per the user’s choice.
- Note: Currently, the snap checks if more than 25 notifications are received per minute. If that’s indeed the case, then it automatically notifies the user and snoozes the popups, which can be again turned on from the dapp.
