MetaMask extension now supports Solana, mobile app integration weeks away

MetaMask, the most popular hot crypto wallet, has added support for the Solana network, ending years of EVM exclusivity. MetaMask users are finally able to transfer to keep their Solana (SOL) assets in their wallet. On Tuesday, May 27, MetaMask officially added support for the Solana network on its web browser extension. This means that users will be able to hold SOL and Solana-based tokens in the wallet. While the Solana network is not yet available on the MetaMask mobile app, mobile support is expected “in a few weeks,” according to the company. MetaMask also announced plans to expand support for additional networks not powered by the Ethereum Virtual Machine. “Solana is just the start. We’ll be adding more non-EVM networks over the coming months, to make wallet juggling a thing of the past. One wallet, one interface, every network,” MetaMask.

Previously, users holding assets across multiple networks, such as Ethereum and Solana, had to manage separate wallets. With this update, they can now access and manage all supported assets from MetaMask. That said, not all Solana users are expected to immediately switch to MetaMask. Phantom, the leading Solana-native wallet, already supports multiple networks, including Ethereum, Bitcoin, Base, Polygon, and others. However, MetaMask is betting that its security architecture will help it gain traction among multi-chain users.

MetaMask also notes that it has never experienced a protocol-level hack affecting its browser extension or mobile app. Still, several users have suffered losses due to social engineering, phishing, and other types of exploits. For instance, in 2023, MetaMask users were targeted with phishing emails after attackers managed to hack Namecheap. Read more: No official MetaMask token: wallet provider warns of scam schemes
