Solana Breaks Into MetaMask: High-Speed Blockchain Joins Ethereum’s Favorite Wallet

MetaMask just got faster—Solana’s blazing blockchain is now tradable on the Ethereum-dominated wallet. Cue the ’multi-chain future’ buzzwords.

Solana’s SOL tokens can now swap hands alongside ETH and ERC-20s, no more wallet-hopping for cross-chain degens. Validators are already reporting a 30% spike in wrapped SOL transactions.

| Why it matters |

MetaMask’s 30M+ users get exposure to Solana’s sub-second settlements—while conveniently ignoring its past 11-hour outage. The crypto crowd loves a comeback story.

Closing thought: TradFi banks still can’t settle in 11 hours, let alone 11 seconds. Maybe they should ’blockchain’ harder.

MetaMask first announced this merger as a promise early this year. In addition to Solana, the wallet developer also said Bitcoin support will soon be added later this year, though the exact date was not stated. 

To use Solana on MetaMask, users only need to create a new Solana account or import an existing one by selecting the network in the extension. The integration also allows users to easily bridge cryptocurrencies from Ethereum to Solana.

Solana is currently the sixth-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, and it is valued at $93 billion according to CoinMarketCap. MetaMask supporting Solana reflects the growing need for wallets to handle multiple blockchain networks. The wallet is known to have robust security features for almost a decade and has over 100 million users around the globe.

MetaMask reassured users that the same high-level security features now apply to the Solana network, including real-time alerts and malicious dApp detection. The developers also confirmed that the MetaMask mobile app will get Solana support soon.
