Metamask now supports the Solana blockchain natively, allowing users to purchase SOL directly within its wallet using Transak’s payment infrastructure.
Direct SOL Purchases Now Available in Metamask Wallet Through Transak
Effective July 22, the integration with Transak marks Metamask’s first native support for a blockchain outside the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). Users can buy Solana (SOL) using their local fiat currency through credit/debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and bank transfers facilitated by Transak.
“This is a significant milestone for Metamask,” said Lorenzo Santos, senior product manager at Metamask. He emphasized Solana’s importance in Web3 and highlighted how the partnership with Transak simplifies onboarding by enabling local currency purchases.
Metamask, a widely used Web3 wallet for Ethereum-based applications, has expanded its support to various EVM chains. Transak has been a key infrastructure provider for Metamask since 2021, according to the announcement shared with Bitcoin.com News.
The addition of Solana aims to streamline the user experience by reducing the need for multiple wallets across different blockchains. Solana reported 3.84 million monthly active addresses in the first quarter of 2025, while Transak provides payment infrastructure to over 450 platforms globally.
Transak highlighted its role in addressing onboarding challenges by offering localized payment methods and tiered identity verification processes. The collaboration between Metamask, Solana, and Transak builds on their existing relationship, with Metamask planning to add support for the Bitcoin network next, with Transak as its fiat on-ramp provider.
“This embodies the essence of what Web3 was always meant to be – open, accessible, and chain-agnostic,” said Sami Start, CEO of Transak.
