In a major move toward simplifying Web3 access, MetaMask has officially integrated support for Solana (SOL)—its first expansion beyond Ethereum-compatible blockchains. This was made possible through a renewed partnership with Transak, a major crypto payments infrastructure provider.

Buy SOL Directly with Fiat – No Bridges Needed

Starting today, MetaMask users can buy Solana tokens directly inside the app using fiat currency. Payment options include credit/debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, bank transfers, and more.

This removes the need for using bridges, third-party exchanges, or dealing with complex steps. Just a few taps are enough to enter the Solana ecosystem, making it far easier for beginners and mainstream users.

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

Solana’s Rapid Growth

Solana has seen a huge rise in activity over the past year. According to Token Terminal, it now hosts 69.9 million monthly active addresses, compared to just 15.8 million one year ago. This puts Solana ahead of many other top Layer-1 networks like Ethereum, BNB, and NEAR.

Its native token, SOL, has also surged in value. As of now, it’s ranked fifth in market cap, worth over $106 billion based on CoinMarketCap data.

A Long-Standing Partnership

MetaMask and Transak have worked together since 2021, when Transak became the wallet’s first fiat on-ramp provider. Since then, their collaboration has powered access to 10+ EVM-compatible blockchains.

With Solana now added, MetaMask users can enjoy a seamless, chain-agnostic experience, helping unify previously fragmented blockchain ecosystems into one user-friendly app.

What’s Next? Bitcoin Support Coming

MetaMask isn’t stopping here. The team has already confirmed that Bitcoin support is in the pipeline, further expanding the wallet’s reach across major blockchain networks.
