META MASK CEO CONFIRMS NATIVE SOLANA SUPPORT: DETAILS...

- MetaMask Co-founder and CEO Dan Finlay confirmed that MetaMask will add native support for Solana’s blockchain in May 2025.

- For the first time, MetaMask will move beyond the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) ecosystem, allowing users to hold native SOL tokens and interact with Solana dApps directly from the wallet.

- Solana, known for its high throughput and low fees, has a large user base and developer community.

- Alongside this announcement, Finlay also recently hinted at the possibility of MetaMask launching a native token, though no concrete timeline or details have been shared.

- The idea has been under discussion since 2021, with interest from industry veterans, but regulatory uncertainties remain a factor.

- MetaMask token could mirror the impact of Uniswap's UNI or 1inch tokens, which gave strong community engagement and governance opportunities.
