Solana News Today: MetaMask's 2025 Move: Bridging EVM and Solana to Simplify Cross-Chain Access

MetaMask will launch its Multichain Accounts feature at the end of October 2025, enabling users to manage assets across Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and non-EVM networks within a unified interface. The update, announced by MetaMask, streamlines cross-chain interactions by consolidating EVM and Solana addresses into single accounts, allowing users to view and interact with tokens across multiple blockchains without switching networksIntroducing Multichain Accounts - MetaMask^[1].

Multichain Accounts group existing EVM addresses with paired Solana addresses, retaining the original EVM account names for continuity. Users with more EVM addresses than Solana will see new Solana addresses generated to match, while those with extra Solana addresses will receive paired EVM addresses. This restructuring simplifies asset management, with balances aggregated across chains and transactions executed seamlessly without manual network switchingIntroducing Multichain Accounts - MetaMask^[1].

The feature enhances usability for both novice and experienced users, addressing prior fragmentation between EVM and non-EVM ecosystems. MetaMask emphasized that hardware wallet accounts will remain EVM-only until Solana support is added. Future updates will expand compatibility to Bitcoin, Tron, and Monad, further solidifying MetaMask's role as a multichain gatewayIntroducing Multichain Accounts - MetaMask^[1].

The rollout follows MetaMask's broader 2025 roadmap, which includes native integrations for Solana, Bitcoin, and TRON. These additions align with industry trends toward interoperability, as MetaMask aims to reduce barriers between blockchain networks. The company highlighted that the update reflects its commitment to simplifying cross-chain access while maintaining security and user controlIntroducing Multichain Accounts - MetaMask^[1].
