The Hedera Wallet Snap is a powerful open-source plugin that extends the functionality of MetaMask, one of the world's most popular crypto wallets, to the Hedera network. Developed by Tuum Technologies and managed by Hashgraph, the Snap allows users and developers to interact directly with Hedera's native services without relying on a JSON-RPC relay.
At its core, the Hedera Wallet Snap transforms MetaMask into a native Hedera wallet. This provides users with a familiar interface to manage their HBAR and other Hedera-based assets. Key services include the ability to send and receive HBAR, view account information and token balances, and interact with the Hedera Token Service (HTS), Hedera Consensus Service (HCS), and Hedera Smart Contract Service (HSCS). This comprehensive functionality empowers developers to build and deploy sophisticated decentralized applications on Hedera, while providing a seamless and intuitive experience for end-users.
The integration of the Hedera Wallet Snap opens up the network to MetaMask's vast user base of over 30 million monthly active users, greatly expanding the potential reach of Hedera-based applications.

The company's core service is a document distribution platform that allows businesses to send documents of any sise with an immutable, auditable trail. When a document is sent through docStribute, a unique digital fingerprint of the document is created and recorded on a public ledger. This provides a verifiable record of when the document was sent and by whom, without storing the document itself on the blockchain. It’s designed to be user-friendly and to integrate with existing business workflows, offering features such as real-time tracking, delivery confirmation, and tamper-proof security.
docStribute's platform is built on the Hedera network. It uses the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) to create a secure and transparent log of all document transactions.

Identity Snap, developed by Tuum Technologies, is an open-source plugin that extends the functionality of MetaMask to include support for decentralized identifiers (DIDs) and verifiable credentials (VCs). This transforms MetaMask into a DID wallet, allowing users to manage their digital identities in a secure and self-sovereign manner.
The core of the Identity Snap service is its ability to create, manage, and verify DIDs and VCs directly within the MetaMask interface. It supports multiple DID methods, including did:pkh, did:key, and did:hedera, giving users a range of options for creating and controlling their digital identities. Key features include the ability to resolve DIDs to their corresponding DID documents, create and save VCs, and generate verifiable presentations (VPs) for sharing with other parties.
Identity Snap's did:hedera method allows users to anchor their digital identities on the Hedera public ledger, taking advantage of its high throughput, low fees, and robust security. The Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) is used to create a transparent and auditable record of all DID and VC events, ensuring the integrity and verifiability of the credentials.
