TechFlow news — On March 4, MetaMask's official social media account clarified: "Due to a configuration error with Infura, some users were unable to access the service. The issue has now been corrected. MetaMask is a client-side wallet committed to maximizing blockchain accessibility for everyone." Additionally, Infura, the API service provider for Ethereum and IPFS, stated that while adjusting certain configurations in compliance with new sanctions directives from the U.S. and other jurisdictions, incorrect settings were mistakenly applied, causing temporary service disruptions in some regions. Services have since been restored. MetaMask uses Infura as its default endpoint, and the misconfiguration led to brief access issues for users in regions such as Venezuela. MetaMask also reminded users that they can modify the default endpoint settings as needed or during any service interruptions.
