One of the most popular cryptocurrency wallets, MetaMask, is to add native support for Solana’s $SOL token in May 2025. The news, as announced by the company’s CEO and co-founder, represents a big step for MetaMask in extending its reach from its traditional stronghold in Ethereum as well as Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-compatible chains.
With this integration, users of MetaMask can store, receive, as well as send SOL native tokens directly in the wallet. More importantly, they will have access to Solana-based dApps in a seamless manner, without having to use third-party software or different wallets to access Solana’s ecosystem.
This enhancement will make it much more convenient for users as well as enable more individuals to use Solana’s low-cost, high-speed blockchain. Solana stands out for its speed of transactions and scalability, which positions it among top non-EVM chains in the cryptocurrency ecosystem.
Native support for Solana by MetaMask represents a strategic step towards establishing a true multichain wallet. It represents increasing user interest in having a single point of access to a variety of blockchain ecosystems.
Ethereum and Solana bridge gains momentum
This also marks a notable step towards more blockchain interoperability. Facilitating a bridge connecting Ethereum and Solana, two of the most used platform chains, can spur development of inter-chain applications as well as closer cooperation among the communities.
Smoother token transfers, wider dApp usage, as well as more seamless interaction among ecosystems, will benefit users. MetaMask’s forthcoming support for Solana showcases an emerging trend towards interoperability and user-friendly multichain solutions across the industry.
With more users demanding flexibility as well as convenient access to different platform technologies, wallets such as MetaMask increasingly adapt to serve those demands. This support will not only make MetaMask more functional, but it will also help advance towards a more connected, accessible, decentralized web.
