The Web3 landscape is evolving rapidly, and one of the most anticipated integrations has just arrived: Solana is now live on MetaMask Extension. For the first time, you can seamlessly manage Solana-based assets—send, receive, swap, bridge, and buy tokens—right alongside your Ethereum accounts. This isn’t just a feature update; it’s a leap toward a unified multi-chain future.
Whether you're deeply embedded in the Ethereum ecosystem or exploring the high-speed world of Solana, MetaMask now offers a single interface to interact with both networks securely and efficiently. And if you're using the MetaMask mobile app, good news: Solana support is coming in just a few weeks.

One Wallet, Many Chains
Gone are the days of juggling multiple wallets for different blockchains. The vision behind MetaMask has always been to simplify access to decentralized technologies. With Solana now natively supported, that vision takes a major step forward.
You no longer need to switch between extensions or memorize different seed phrases. Your Solana account lives side by side with your Ethereum accounts—all under one secure vault. This means:
- Unified dashboard for cross-chain activity
- Streamlined user experience across EVM and non-EVM networks
- Reduced friction when interacting with dApps on different chains
And Solana is just the beginning. Over the coming months, MetaMask will continue expanding support to more non-EVM blockchains, reinforcing its role as the go-to gateway for the entire Web3 universe.
Getting Started with Solana on MetaMask
Setting up Solana in MetaMask is designed to be intuitive—even for newcomers.
- Create or Import: You can either generate a new Solana account directly within MetaMask or import an existing private key.
- Balance Detection: Once set up, MetaMask automatically detects your SOL and SPL token balances.
- Onramp Integration: Need to buy SOL? MetaMask’s curated onramp service lets you purchase tokens at competitive rates using fiat.
- Cross-Chain Bridging: Already hold assets on Ethereum? Use trusted bridging solutions to move ETH, USDC, or other tokens over to Solana with ease.
All of this happens within the same familiar MetaMask interface you already know and trust—no extra downloads, no confusing setups.

Security First: Protecting Your Solana Journey
MetaMask has built its reputation over nearly a decade as one of the most secure crypto wallets available—especially on EVM chains. Now, that same level of protection extends to Solana.
As you explore decentralized applications (dApps) on the Solana network, MetaMask safeguards your experience through advanced security features such as:
- Real-time alerts for suspicious transactions
- Malicious dApp detection powered by behavioral analysis
- Transaction simulation to preview exactly what a smart contract interaction will do before you sign
These tools help prevent phishing attacks, rug pulls, and unauthorized fund transfers—common risks when navigating new ecosystems.
With over 100 million annual users worldwide relying on MetaMask for secure access to Web3, integrating Solana wasn’t just about convenience—it was about doing so without compromising safety.
Why This Integration Matters
The addition of Solana reflects a broader shift in how users engage with blockchain technology. Instead of being locked into a single ecosystem, people increasingly demand flexibility across networks. Here’s why this move is significant:
- Performance meets accessibility: Solana offers fast transaction speeds and low fees—now accessible through one of the most widely used wallets.
- Developer empowerment: DApp creators can reach a wider audience without requiring users to adopt new tools.
- User sovereignty: You remain in full control of your keys and assets across chains.
This integration also highlights MetaMask’s ongoing commitment to innovation beyond Ethereum. From Snaps enabling third-party blockchain extensions to now natively supporting non-EVM chains like Solana, the platform continues to push boundaries.
