MetaMask adds built-in support for tokens on Solana
MetaMask adds native Solana support to browser extension
MetaMask has officially added support for Solana on its browser-based extension, allowing users to trade, swap, and bridge Solana-based tokens as well as access dApps in the Solana ecosystem.
The integration marks a significant expansion for MetaMask, traditionally focused on Ethereum-compatible (EVM) chains, reports The Block.
A mobile version of the integration is also expected to launch within weeks, broadening accessibility for MetaMask’s estimated 100 million users. The company highlighted that Solana is “just the start,” with more non-EVM networks planned soon to eliminate the need for multiple wallets.
Strategic pivot towards broader network compatibility
MetaMask previously enabled access to non-EVM networks using Snaps, a plugin system introduced to expand functionality. With native Solana integration, the wallet aims to streamline the user experience and further embed itself within the growing multichain ecosystem.
The addition follows a February announcement hinting at Solana and Bitcoin integrations, with the latter expected by Q3 2025. MetaMask’s move aligns with broader industry trends of enhancing cross-chain functionality to keep pace with evolving user demands and blockchain development.
Token plans remain uncertain amid regulatory clarity
Discussions about a native MetaMask token continue, though no final decision has been made. Co-founder Dan Finlay recently acknowledged that U.S. regulatory improvements have made a token launch more feasible. Parent company Consensys also resolved legal concerns with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission earlier this year, removing a major roadblock for future initiatives. A potential token could help decentralize the platform and incentivize user engagement if launched under compliant conditions.
Recently we wrote that MetaMask may still launch a native token—just don’t expect it to come from an anonymous X account.
