MetaMask Releases New 2025 Roadmap

MetaMask has released its new 2025 roadmap aimed at optimizing the Web3 experience and accelerating mainstream adoption.

MetaMask, the popular cryptocurrency wallet, has unveiled its new roadmap for 2025. The updates are focused on optimizing the Web3 experience and accelerating mainstream adoption.

As highlighted in a recent blog post, MetaMask is aiming to simplify user interactions, bolster transaction reliability, and introduce new features to enhance the overall user journey.

The roadmap is structured around three main pillars: enhancing user experience, ensuring seamless multichain connectivity, and fortifying wallet security and functionality.

“The future of web3 depends on self-custody: for it to become the default choice for users, we need to make wallets more intuitive, connected, powerful, and safe,” the blog read.

One of the standout features is the transition from externally owned accounts (EOAs) to programmable accounts. A key component of this shift is EIP-7702. This is a part of the upcoming Pectra hard fork, which will empower EOAs to function like smart accounts.

The wallet will also introduce ERC-5792 batched transactions. It enables one-click “Approve & Swap” actions that cut gas costs and streamline processes.

Moreover, MetaMask will extend gas-included swaps to all transactions starting in March. This will give users an option to pay gas with any token they hold when interacting with decentralized apps (dapps) or sending tokens.

“Longer term, we believe we can eliminate gas as a user-facing concern in nearly all interactions. (We’ll get to that!),” the roadmap included.

MetaMask Has Also Shared Ambitious Multichain Expansions

The integration of Solana (SOL) is set for May, while support for Bitcoin (BTC) will arrive in Q3 2025. This will let users engage with these ecosystems without separate wallets or wrapped tokens.

A Multichain API is set to launch in June. This will enable dapps to connect to Ethereum (ETH), Linea, Solana, and Bitcoin simultaneously, simplifying tasks like portfolio management and bridging.

In line with its multichain focus, the user interface is also getting a multichain makeover. A redesigned home screen, debuting next month, will display assets across networks.

Profile Sync will arrive in April for browser extensions and May for mobile. This feature will keep settings consistent across devices.

Support for multiple Secret Recovery Phrases (SRPs) will also be introduced. This will equip users to manage multiple wallets from a single MetaMask instance.

Additionally, the MetaMask Card will allow users to spend their crypto directly without going through traditional offramps.

“To realize all of the potential described above, we have built the MetaMask Delegation Framework. We think it might be the most dynamic and powerful permission system you’ve ever used,” the roadmap explained.

The framework is designed to facilitate flexible and secure account permissions. It permits users to grant ERC-7710 permissions off-chain.

This system also aims to enhance security by giving users the ability to delegate specific tasks like connecting to a dapp or signing a transaction while maintaining overall control, making it easier to balance usability with high-level security.
