🔓 From Ethereum Wallet to Multi-Chain Gateway

MetaMask just made its biggest leap yet: Solana is now natively supported. And users can buy SOL directly with fiat using Apple Pay, Google Pay, credit/debit cards, and bank transfers — all from inside the app.

This is the first time a non-EVM chain has been integrated natively into MetaMask, marking a serious move toward a truly chain-agnostic Web3 experience.

The payment flow is powered by Transak, MetaMask’s long-time fiat on-ramp partner.

“Solana plays a key role in Web3,” said Lorenzo Santos, Senior Product Manager at MetaMask. “Our partnership with Transak simplifies access by allowing users to purchase assets using local fiat.”

🧠 Why It Matters

Until now, Solana users had to switch to standalone wallets like Phantom or Solflare to access dApps, manage assets, or buy tokens.

Now, everything — from holding to buying — can be done inside MetaMask. This means:

• ✅ No wallet switching
• ✅ No centralized exchanges
• ✅ No wrapped assets or bridging headaches

This dramatically reduces friction for both first-time users and power users who want a one-wallet-to-rule-them-all solution.

🏦 Transak: The Fiat Bridge for Web3

Transak has quietly become one of the key players in Web3’s fiat access stack.

Operating in over 100 jurisdictions, it supports:

• 💳 Local cards and bank transfers
• 🧾 Dynamic KYC and compliance tools
• 🛠 On-ramps for 450+ platforms — including MetaMask since 2021

With this update, users can go from fiat to SOL in a few taps — no need to touch Binance, Coinbase, or other CEXes.

“This is what Web3 was always meant to be — open, accessible, and chain-agnostic,” said Sami Start, CEO of Transak.

📈 The Bigger Picture

This isn’t just a new feature. It’s part of a broader wallet war.

As Solana’s ecosystem continues to grow (📈 3.84M monthly actives), MetaMask is racing to unify Web3 access across chains.

Ethereum may be home base, but the future is multi-chain — and wallets are becoming the browser, bank, and borderless passport rolled into one.

What’s next? MetaMask has confirmed it’s working on native Bitcoin support.

🔮 What’s Next

Solana is just the start.

With fiat access now live, MetaMask is well on its way to becoming a universal Web3 portal — not just for Ethereum dApps, but for NFTs, DeFi, and games across ecosystems.

This update opens the door to:

• 🎮 Solana gaming integrations
• 📦 NFT marketplaces with fiat UX
• 🏦 DeFi protocols with smoother onboarding

For millions of users, it's now easier than ever to go from fiat to SOL — all in one place.

It’s a major step toward a unified, multi-chain Web3 experience — and Bitcoin is next.
