MetaMask now supports Solana (SOL)
MetaMask, the most used crypto wallet in the Ethereum ecosystem, has taken an important step towards multichain: it is now also compatible with the Solana (SOL) network and its tokens. The news was officially announced on May 27 and is already available in the new version of the extension (v12.18).
The integration with Solana had been promised in March and, it appears, MetaMask is on schedule. The next big step will be to integrate Bitcoin, expected in the third quarter of 2025.
With this update, users can now send, receive, swap, bridge, and purchase Solana-based tokens, as well as interact with the network's dApps — all with the robust security that established MetaMask.
To use Solana within MetaMask, simply create a new account or import an existing one. Balances of SOL and native tokens will be displayed automatically. The network can be easily selected from the wallet's menu.
This move aligns MetaMask with other wallets that already operate across multiple networks, such as Phantom and Trust Wallet. The idea is clear: not to fall behind in an increasingly interoperable market.
Additionally, the integration already allows connections with popular Solana platforms, such as PumpFun, known as the "meme coin factory." The promise is that new features and compatibilities will come soon.
📈 Currently, Solana is the 6th largest cryptocurrency in the world, with a market value exceeding $93 billion — and has been considered Ethereum's main rival in transaction speed and cost.
The arrival of Bitcoin to MetaMask is the next major milestone. And if history is maintained, everything indicates that the functionality should arrive between July and September. Until then, the community remains hopeful.
