MetaMask has officially rolled out multichain accounts, marking a major evolution from its traditional one-account-one-address model. The update allows a single account to manage multiple blockchain addresses — including Ethereum, EVM-compatible chains, and Solana, with Bitcoin support planned for future updates.
Previously, users had to maintain separate accounts for different networks, but the new system streamlines this process. “This means fewer accounts to manage, less switching, and easier cross-chain activity,” MetaMask explained.
The upgrade is automatically included in MetaMask Mobile version 7.57 and Extension version 13.5, requiring no manual updates from users. From now on, multichain accounts will be the default setup for all new users.
Unified Wallet Management and Compatibility
All existing wallet addresses remain accessible under the new model. MetaMask clarified that previously created EVM and Solana addresses will be paired chronologically, maintaining consistency for users:
“If you had Solana accounts before, they’ll automatically match up with an EVM address and adopt its name,” the company noted. “If there are more Solana accounts than EVM ones, new EVM addresses will be generated automatically.”
The system is built on BIP-44, an industry-standard derivation path allowing wallets to generate and organize multiple accounts from a single recovery phrase.
However, hardware wallet accounts still remain restricted to EVM networks, as Solana support is not yet integrated.
MASK Token Launch Rumors Gain Momentum
Amid the multichain update, rumors surrounding MetaMask’s upcoming MASK token have reignited excitement across the crypto community. A website believed to be a claims portal for the token appeared briefly on Monday, sparking speculation that the launch may be near.
While the site initially displayed a password-protected Vercel Authenticator, it has since been redirected to MetaMask’s official homepage, suggesting the portal was not yet active.
Executives at Consensys, MetaMask’s parent company, have hinted for months at a potential token launch. Joe Lubin, Consensys CEO, told PRIME in a recent interview that the MASK token could arrive “sooner than expected.” He also mentioned that ongoing developments within the Consensys ecosystem may serve as early signals of the token’s debut.
