How easy it is to add custom tokens or chains is a massive upgrade over the current MetaMask wallet. It is a fundamental concept that is different from Metamask, as the SafePal Extension wallet is a cross-chain HD wallet, meaning people view their assets by 'wallet account.' In contrast, Metamask users view their assets based on 'chains.' There is no 'Switch Chain' concept in our wallet. The money you have on different chains will be displayed and can be used instantly. Users will no longer need to waste time on adding a custom Chain. When you manually fill it out to be added to your MetaMask, the system is a very tedious process. Always stay connected to DApps across different chains simultaneously. The SafePal Extension walletis chains beyond EVM.

Every coin/ token you invest in belongs on a chain. Countless projects are built on Ethereum, Solana, and Binance Smart Chain, so it is crucial to understand which chain you need when making transactions. The most common mistake is sending a token on the wrong Network, and this is solved with our chain management system. When using a Dapp, you can easily select which one you need to make a transaction. Transactions are done the same way between the wallets as you sign a transaction and pay a gas fee to complete it. This is a big difference when moving from MetaMask to SafePal. Avoiding the need to import every chain and constantly switching manually can be very annoying and inefficient.
