MetaMask to Add Direct Support for Bitcoin and Solana

The developers of the non-custodial wallet MetaMask have unveiled a roadmap announcing the app’s expansion beyond EVM-based networks.

According to Daniel Finlay, founder and head of the MetaMask team at ConsenSys, the wallet will integrate Solana in May, while direct Bitcoin support is scheduled for the third quarter. Currently, users can interact with these blockchains via the cross-chain platform Snaps. For Bitcoin, an alternative method is using its wrapped ERC-20 version.

In March, the developers plan to introduce gasless swaps across all assets, allowing users to pay network fees with any available token.

To further streamline transactions, the team will implement ERC-5792, a standard enabling batch execution of sequential operations. This will help save time and reduce costs.

MetaMask will also revamp its main screen, allowing users to view all tokens across different networks without the need to switch between them.

In the future, the app will integrate account abstraction, turning wallets into smart contracts with specialized access levels. This will enhance security, enable account recovery in case of private key loss, and expand interaction options with assets and decentralized applications.

The feature will become possible after the implementation of EIP-7702 as part of Ethereum’s upcoming Pectra hard fork, planned for April.

Previously, it was reported that the MetaMask team had been working on Bitcoin integration since May 2024, with initial deployment expected within a month.
