MetaMask will support the Solana network in May, marking its "first step into non-EVM chains," as the little fox wallet steps out of the Ethereum comfort zone.

MetaMask announced that it will natively support Solana in May 2025, improving market liquidity and interoperability. (Synopsis: MetaMask's new feature "Gas Station" is online: USDT, USDC and other 8 tokens can also pay gas fees, is it easy to use?) (Background supplement: Microsoft warns of new malicious Trojans: lock and attack OKX, Metamask and other 20 mainstream Web3 wallets) The founder of the popular MetaMask wallet recently confirmed that it is expected to officially integrate the Solana network in May. Previously, MetaMask was designed primarily for Ethereum and its virtual machine (EVM) compatible chain. Because Solana uses an underlying blockchain architecture that is very different from Ethereum, MetaMask has long failed to provide native support for Solana. Therefore, this integration is not only an important milestone for MetaMask to expand its multi-chain coverage capabilities, but also opens a convenient path to the world of Solana for millions of MetaMask users. Is the Phantom wallet threatened? At present, there are many wallet services in the Solana ecosystem, the most popular is to use the Phantom wallet to operate Solana assets. Will MetaMask's integration with the Solana network threaten the market share of the Phantom wallet in the future? Whether MetaMask will support non-EVM-compatible chains, including Bitcoin, Cosmos, Sui, etc., is also worth paying attention to. In addition, despite some regulatory uncertainty, the market has not stopped discussing MetaMask's consideration of issuing its native token, which is seen as a potential strategy to strengthen platform governance and increase user engagement, but so far, no specific release timeline has been officially confirmed. Extended reading: Metamask has waited for several years and is still "possible to issue coins", Linea TGE also has procrastination SOL coin price performance Back to the coin price, SOL has basically followed the trend of bitcoin recently, after hitting a maximum of $184.9 earlier this week, it has fallen back to $165 in recent days, and is now at $167.05 before the deadline. In the future, after MetaMask natively supports Solana, users will be able to access Solana-based tokens and dApps more smoothly and intuitively, which is expected to promote Solana's adoption rate and network liquidity.
