MetaMask now supports Solana, allowing users to access Solana dApps. This update aligns with MetaMask's goal to expand beyond the EVM ecosystem.

Users can now access the Solana blockchain and interact with dApps using the multichain wallet MetaMask.

MetaMask has added support for the Solana blockchain to its browser extension. This brings MetaMask closer to its goal of becoming a one-stop wallet for all networks.

MetaMask is a popular cryptocurrency wallet and gateway to blockchain applications. It allows users to store, send, receive, and interact with cryptocurrencies and decentralized applications (dApps), primarily on Ethereum and other supported blockchains.

Solana is a high-performance blockchain designed for fast and low-cost transactions. Solana uses a unique combination of proof-of-stake (PoS) and a mechanism called proof-of-history (PoH) to process thousands of transactions per second with very low fees.

The integration of Solana in MetaMask allows users to send, receive, swap, bridge, and purchase Solana-based tokens directly within MetaMask, along with interacting with Solana dapps, all with the robust security that MetaMask is known for.

What once required separate wallets like Phantom for Solana and MetaMask for Ethereum is now a unified experience, making it easier than ever to explore both ecosystems.

The latest version of the MetaMask Extension enables users to operate Solana accounts natively, switching between Ethereum and Solana in a unified interface.

The change isn’t just for desktop users; MetaMask will introduce Solana support for its mobile app in a few weeks, bringing this experience to users on the go.

According to MetaMask, this integration is part of its broader vision to simplify the crypto user experience across multiple chains. The company has confirmed plans to support more non-EVM networks in the coming months, working toward a future where one wallet can serve every blockchain.

MetaMask revealed in late February of this year that it was expanding its ecosystem beyond EVM chains and planned to integrate Solana and Bitcoin while working to eliminate gas fees.

The wallet provider stated that in May, Solana will be integrated as the first EVM chain, and Bitcoin will follow by Q3.

On eliminating gas fees, MetaMask stated that “Longer term, we believe we can eliminate gas as a user-facing concern in nearly all interactions. (We’ll get to that!)”

Solana’s rapid growth in 2025 makes this integration especially impactful. Its DeFi total value has surged to about $4 billion, led by Jupiter and Raydium. Stablecoin supply hit $13 billion in April, while the network now processes over 200 million transactions daily, peaking at 355 million in one week.
