MetaMask has unveiled a major update, announcing the inclusion of Bitcoin and Solana support at ETHDenver, shifting from its Ethereum-exclusive model.
Bitcoin and Solana Integration
MetaMask will introduce Bitcoin support in Q3 2025, allowing users to store, send, and swap BTC without the need for separate wallets. Solana integration will roll out in May, making it the first non-EVM chain on MetaMask, enabling users to interact with Solana’s ecosystem, dApps, and swap tokens seamlessly.
Programmable Accounts and Smart Transactions
MetaMask is launching programmable accounts with Ethereum’s Pectra upgrade, adding built-in multi-signature, two-factor authentication, and AI-powered delegated access. The platform will support ERC-5792 batched transactions, enabling multiple actions to be executed in one click, reducing gas fees and simplifying transactions. In March, MetaMask will introduce the ability to pay gas fees with any token, eliminating disruptions caused by low ETH balances. This update will improve security against front-running and MEV sandwich attacks.
MetaMask Metal Card and Multichain API
The MetaMask Metal Card is receiving an upgrade with enhanced rewards and exclusive features. MetaMask is also launching a multichain API in June, allowing dApps to connect to multiple networks, enhancing interoperability. Users managing multichain portfolios will benefit from this streamlined approach. Support for multiple Secret Recovery Phrases and profile sync across devices will also be available, with a redesigned home screen displaying assets across different chains in one place.
MetaMask plans to eliminate gas fees for users eventually. Transitioning to smart contract-based accounts will improve asset management and security.
