Change Summary

MetaMask updated its Terms of Use to rebrand references from 'Consensys' to 'MetaMask' throughout the document. The change reflects organizational restructuring where MetaMask is now the direct operator of the platform rather than a product under the Consensys brand. Operationally, the shift clarifies that users contract directly with MetaMask rather than Consensys Software Inc., though the substantive rights, obligations, and liability limits remain unchanged.
