MetaMask – the leading cryptocurrency wallet – just announced its development roadmap for 2025 at the ETHDenver event, promising a series of significant improvements such as support for Bitcoin (BTC), Solana (SOL), integration of smart contract accounts, aggregated ERC-5792 transactions, and the launch of a crypto debit card.

Convert to Smart Contract Account

Currently, #MetaMask operates as an Externally Owned Account (EOA), controlled by a private key. If the key is lost, the assets are also lost permanently. To address this, MetaMask will integrate Contract Account (CA) – a type of wallet with recovery mechanisms and enhanced security.

According to the MetaMask team:

"Smart contract accounts help manage assets more effectively while enhancing security."

Support for Aggregated Transactions with ERC-5792

The batch transaction feature allows users to combine multiple actions (such as "approve + swap") into a single transaction, saving time and significantly reducing gas fees.

Dan Finlay, co-founder of MetaMask, explains:

"Aggregated transactions provide a clear overview of the entire process, requiring only one signature and processing within the same block."

Launch of MetaMask Debit Card

MetaMask is about to launch a crypto debit card, allowing users to spend digital assets anywhere Mastercard is accepted. The card has been tested in the UK, EU, and will roll out in the US in March.

"You can earn interest from staking and spend directly with just one touch."

Bitcoin Integration ($BTC ) and Solana ($SOL )

The biggest advancement for MetaMask is expanding support for Bitcoin and Solana, enabling users to manage multiple crypto assets in one wallet.

Dan Finlay emphasizes:

"We not only support popular blockchains but also ensure a smooth experience when integrating new networks."

SEC Withdraws Lawsuit Against MetaMask – A Major Win for Crypto?

At the same time as announcing the new roadmap, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) withdrew its lawsuit against the parent company #Consensys of MetaMask. Previously, the SEC accused MetaMask of violating securities laws by offering MetaMask Swaps and Staking services.

This decision comes after the SEC continuously ended major lawsuits targeting Coinbase, Robinhood, Uniswap, OpenSea, Gemini, and Justin Sun. This is seen as a setback for the SEC in the face of resistance from the crypto industry.

Conclusion

With groundbreaking improvements, MetaMask is getting closer to its goal of becoming a super Web3 application, not just a storage wallet but also supporting asset management, transactions, staking, and easier spending.
