MetaMask, one of the oldest crypto wallets in the industry, has added new features to leave its competitors behind.
Accordingly, MetaMask announced that it is preparing to expand support for the Bitcoin and Solana networks and eventually remove gas fees as part of the update to its 2025 update roadmap.
This new update will allow users to complete confirmation and clearing transactions with a single click, saving both time and gas fees, allowing them to trade more efficiently. The MetaMask team also added that they plan to eventually eliminate users from paying gas fees altogether.
MetaMask also stated that it is preparing to add support for Bitcoin (BTC) and Solana (SOL).
Accordingly, MetaMask said that full Bitcoin support is planned to begin in the third quarter of this year, while Solana support is planned to begin in May.
This means that users can keep various crypto assets in one place.
“All MetaMask users will be able to buy, sell, trade, and interact with dapps across the entire Solana ecosystem. Existing Solana users will gain access to the same security, reliability, and rich features of MetaMask, as well as access to all the chains you use with MetaMask today.”
The MetaMask team also announced that the MetaMask debit card will be available in select states in the US starting mid-March.
The card has been in production for several months and was initially only available to users in the UK and EU.
It was stated that the company's new logo is included on MetaMask Cards, which are valid in some countries.
