MetaMask Snaps Introduction
Snaps is a system that allows developers to safely build and expand the capabilities of MetaMask.
It is a program that is run in an isolated environment with a limited set of capabilities,
that can customize and modify MetaMask's wallet experience for end users.
For example, a snap can add new APIs to MetaMask thus adding support for different blockchains
or modify existing functionalities using internal APIs.
