The Solana Network Is Now Live on MetaMask

Users of Solana may now access the network through a MetaMask wallet.

MetaMask announced on Tuesday that its Solana integration was live, meaning that users can now transact on the second largest smart-contract platform and interact with Solana-based applications through the wallet.

"Let’s be honest. Managing wallets across MetaMask and Solana used to be a bit of an ordeal. But no more," the blog post said. "With the latest version of MetaMask Extension, you can use Solana natively. Right alongside your Ethereum accounts, all in one interface."

The integration is currently only on desktop, but is slated to go live on the MetaMask mobile app in the coming weeks, the post said.

MetaMask is the Ethereum network's most-used browser wallet, with over 100 million annual users.

While the wallet supported other networks already, Solana is the first non-EVM network (meaning the first network that doesn't use Ethereum's computation engine) to be integrated. The blog post stated that other non-EVM networks would soon follow.
