MetaMask Reveals Its 2025 Roadmap, Announcing New Features to Improve UX and UI

MetaMask, the famous self-custodial crypto-wallet, has revealed the milestones of its 2025 roadmap, full of new features coming soon.

MetaMask, the renowned non-custodial crypto-wallet, has unveiled the milestones of its 2025 roadmap, highlighting the new features being introduced. Among the main goals is to simplify and enhance the user experience of its wallet.

The first initiative in the MetaMask 2025 roadmap focuses on revising the crypto-wallet's user interface to simplify and improve the user experience.

To achieve this, MetaMask will be making transactions smarter and simpler, abstracting from networks and gas.

These "intelligent transactions" (or Smart Transactions) had already been implemented by the crypto-wallet last May. The update introduced private transaction channels, which keep transaction details hidden from the public mempool until they are ready to be processed. MetaMask's "intelligent transactions" combat the widespread problem of front-running on the Ethereum network.

Furthermore, to enhance the user experience, MetaMask has also introduced features to eliminate transaction gas for its users. For instance, with "swaps with gas included," users can exchange two tokens without needing to have ETH in their account—the gas is included in the swap quote and is paid in the token being exchanged.

For the month of March, MetaMask plans to generalize this system to all transactions, allowing interaction with dapps or sending tokens, paying the gas in any token held.

Another significant feature of the MetaMask 2025 roadmap is the introduction of new native support for Bitcoin and Solana.

"Hello, Bitcoin. In the third quarter of this year, full support for bitcoin will arrive: users will no longer need a separate wallet or wrapped tokens to hold bitcoin. Solana is coming. In May, we will add native support for Solana to MetaMask, the first non-EVM chain to be supported immediately. All MetaMask users will be able to buy, sell, swap, and interact with the dapps of the entire Solana ecosystem. Existing Solana users will have access to the same security, reliability, and feature richness of MetaMask, in addition to access to all the chains used today with MetaMask."

MetaMask will fully support Bitcoin (BTC) starting from the third quarter of 2025. By doing so, users will no longer need to use other separate wallets or other tokens wrapped to BTC for their transactions.

The support for the Solana ecosystem, on the other hand, will arrive in MetaMask starting from next May 2025. Solana is the first non-EVM chain to be embraced by the crypto-wallet.

The news of MetaMask's support for Bitcoin had already started circulating last May. At that time, the rumors claimed that the crypto-wallet was working on the new access to BTC.

The virtual card is available immediately in seven countries, while the physical Metal card will be available in some selected territories in April 2025.

The virtual card is immediately available in Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Iceland, Norway, Portugal, and Sweden, with more countries to follow in the coming months.

The card can be used to make contactless payments at any store that accepts Mastercard, both online and offline, and provides users with a simple and secure way to spend their crypto at millions of locations worldwide.

Those who prefer to have a physical card can apply for the limited-edition Metal card, which will be available in April 2025, offering unique design elements and premium finishes.

"We're excited to be launching the MetaMask Card, the perfect fusion of cutting-edge technology and seamless user experiences," said Guillaume Devote, chief product officer at MetaMask. "This card empowers users to seamlessly integrate their preferred tokens and protocols into everyday spending, unlocking new possibilities for financial inclusion and Web3 adoption."
