How are MetaMask and FaceWallet different?

MapleStory Universe services two types of wallets: MetaMask and FaceWallet.

MetaMask (Self-custodial wallet)
  • MetaMask is a self-custodial wallet, which lets users have control of the private keys.
  • The company (NEXPACE), the wallet service providers (MetaMask, FaceWallet), or any other entity cannot access the user's wallet and its assets.
  • As long as the recovery phrase and private key are safely stored, the user can access their assets in the wallet anytime, anywhere.
FaceWallet (Non-custodial wallet)
  • FaceWallet is a non-custodial wallet, which lets user have control of the private keys. 
  • The company (NEXPACE), the wallet service providers (MetaMask, FaceWallet), or any other entity cannot access the user's wallet and its assets.
  • The user doesn't need to directly manage the private keys, as the wallet provider adds a security measure to the wallet to reduce the risk of asset loss. 

Please consider carefully which type of wallet is best for you before making a decision.
