The world’s most popular and secure self-custodial crypto wallet goes multi-chain! And Transak is making sure you can join in with just a few clicks.
The Web3 space is shaking up yet again but for all the good reasons. MetaMask has officially added native support for Solana, marking its first-ever native integration beyond the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). At the heart of this rollout is Transak, the global Web3 payments infrastructure provider, stepping in as a launch partner to power the fiat-to-SOL highway.
From today, MetaMask users will be able to purchase SOL directly within the app using their local fiat currency via credit/debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, bank transfers, and other payment methods enabled by Transak. That means, no bridges, no complex centralized exchanges, no steep learning curve – just ‘walk the ramp’ into the Solana ecosystem.
“This is a significant milestone for MetaMask and a natural extension of our mission to make crypto more accessible,” said Lorenzo Santos, Senior Product Manager at MetaMask. “Solana has become a core part of the Web3 conversation, and with Transak, our users can now effortlessly purchase SOL using their local currencies, simplifying the onboarding experience.”
MetaMask: The Gateway To Crypto Self-Custody
For over 8 years and millions of users annually, MetaMask has long been the most trusted entry point into the Ethereum ecosystem, empowering people to control their own assets, build freely, and engage with web3 on their own terms.
MetaMask’s usage skyrocketed during the 2021-2022 bull cycle, powering the explosion of DeFi, NFT trading, and DAO participation. By 2024, the wallet expanded on-ramp support to over 10 new EVM chains and offered off-ramping largely powered by Transak’s infrastructure.
Now, with its integration of Solana, MetaMask is signaling a new era of chain-agnostic access, where users no longer need to juggle multiple wallets to explore different blockchain ecosystems.
Solana Has Become The Epicenter of Consumer DeFi Growth
Solana’s resurgence over the past 18 months has been nothing short of remarkable. In Q1 2025 alone, Solana hit 3.84 million monthly active addresses, a number that outpaces most Layer 1s except Ethereum.
But for all its momentum, onboarding onto Solana has remained a hurdle.
More than just fiat rails, Transak solves the biggest UX barrier in crypto today: fragmented identity and friction-ridden onboarding.
And with multi-tiered KYC, users only provide what’s necessary based on their jurisdiction and transaction needs, making the experience smoother and more inclusive.
This is especially critical for the 1.4 billion unbanked and underbanked adults worldwide. With localized fiat on-ramps and no need for a centralized exchange, Transak offers a direct pathway to crypto ownership and financial inclusion—starting with Solana.
A Collaborative Approach
The partnership between MetaMask and Transak traces back to 2021, when MetaMask integrated Transak as its very first fiat on-ramp provider. This long-standing collaboration has consistently prioritized accessibility, ease of use, and global reach, empowering millions of users to effortlessly enter the Web3 ecosystem.
The MetaMask–Solana–Transak collaboration isn’t just about access. It’s about unifying fragmented ecosystems under a simpler, more powerful user experience. One wallet, multiple chains, localized payments, and no technical hurdles.
And the roadmap doesn’t stop here.
MetaMask has confirmed plans to bring Bitcoin support next, opening up even more users to the power of self-custody in a multi-chain world. Transak will continue to serve as the fiat bridge across these expansions.
“This is what Web3 was always meant to be - open, accessible, and chain-agnostic,” said Sami Start, CEO of Transak. “We’re proud to be building the infrastructure that brings this vision to life, starting with MetaMask and Solana.”
