## About

Ethereum crypto wallet and browser extension for interacting with decentralized apps

## Activity summary

Restricted for users in Syria. Community testing in July 2026 found the website and extension load normally, but the authentication step needed to create a new wallet is blocked by Cloudflare.

## Progress timeline

- 2026-07-27 — Investigated (Community Updates). A community volunteer tested MetaMask from inside Syria: the website, Chrome Web Store listing and extension onboarding all load, but the authentication endpoint used to create a new wallet returns a Cloudflare block, so no wallet can be set up without a VPN.

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025.
