MetaMask goes multichain: one account supports EVM, Solana and soon Bitcoin

MetaMask has launched multichain accounts, moving away from its previous one-account-one-address model. This update allows a single account to manage addresses across Ethereum, EVM layer-2 networks, and Solana, with Bitcoin support planned for future updates. This change simplifies management and cross-network activities, rolling out automatically in MetaMask Mobile version 7.57 and Extension version 13.5. Existing addresses are paired chronologically using the BIP-44 standard, though hardware wallet accounts are currently limited to EVM networks. Separately, speculation about MetaMask's native MASK token launch intensified following the appearance of a rumored claims website, which executives, including Consensys CEO Joe Lubin, have confirmed is actively in development.
