MetaMask Expands to Solana and Bitcoin, Abolishing Gas Fees

The popular crypto wallet will soon support Solana and Bitcoin, giving users more flexibility in managing their digital assets.

Popular crypto wallet MetaMask is gearing up to add support for Solana (SOL) and Bitcoin (BTC), the company announced Wednesday. The move will give users more flexibility in managing their digital assets.

The crypto wallet is also rolling out new features to make crypto transactions smoother than ever.

MetaMask Goes Multi-Chain & Ends Gas Fee Hassles

MetaMask is embracing the multi-chain future. By adding native support for Solana and Bitcoin, users won’t need multiple wallets to manage their assets. Everything can be handled under one roof, making life much easier.

Additionally, MetaMask will allow users to manage multiple Secret Recovery Phrases (SRPs) within a single wallet. That means no more juggling different wallets for different accounts—it’s all in one place.

One of the biggest headaches in crypto has been gas fees, but MetaMask is about to change the game. The company recently announced, “Gas is going away.”

Right now, MetaMask already lets users pay gas fees with the token they’re swapping. Soon, though, gas fees will be abstracted entirely, allowing users to pay with any token—not just ETH.

Here’s what we’ve been cooking.

No more scrambling to find ETH just to complete a transaction. Whether you’re holding USDC, MATIC, or another token, you’ll be able to cover transaction costs with what you already have. That’s like filling up your gas tank with whatever spare change is in your pocket—convenient and hassle-free.

Smarter Transactions, Safer Trades

MetaMask’s Smart Transactions have already saved users millions by preventing failed transactions and protecting against MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) attacks. The results? A mind-blowing 99.995% transaction success rate—almost unheard of in the crypto space.

For traders and investors, this means fewer failed swaps and a reduced risk of losing money due to network congestion or market manipulation. It’s like having a seatbelt for your crypto transactions—keeping you safe while you ride the DeFi highway.
