MetaMask comes second. The wallet now unifies the management of multi-chain addresses while reviving rumors of a future MASK token landing. The wallet ecosystem is rocking as MetaMask’s reach remains huge.
One account for multiple networks
MetaMask leaves the model “account = address”. Now only one account can group addresses for Ethereum, Solana and soon Bitcoin. This means users manage fewer identities and move between networks faster. The team promises a smoother experience for cross-chain activities.
The update will arrive automatically at mobile AND web extension. No action is required, reducing friction. In addition, the application links existing addresses chronologically. In practice, the previously created Solana address is “married” to its EVM twin of the same name. If a pair is missing, MetaMask will generate a counterpart. It’s simple and avoids manual renaming.
This standard really facilitates compatibility between chains without seed propagation. As a result, users can maintain their habits while expanding their reach in the chain.
However, there is a limit. Accounts attached to a hardware wallet remain limited to the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) for now. On the other hand, extensions and mobile already support Solana, which covers most common uses. MetaMask specifies this historical addresses remain accessible. This is reassuring for portfolios that have years of activity behind them.
Finally, a promise “multiple networks by default” A game changer for beginners. Also the interface reduces back and forth between profiles and separate accounts. This is why the announcement can accelerate the adoption of cross-chain applications, including bridge, swaps and on-chain gaming.
Towards the MASK token? Tracks and problems
The signals around the MASK token follow one another. At first protected by an authentication screen, the rumor portal briefly circulated before being redirected to the home page. In the process, new official domains were registered for the “claim” and “gift” pages. However, nothing active on the user side at this time. The market loves these types of clues because they often precede specific announcements.
Speculation immediately ran wild. At Polymarket, the probabilities are a launch in 2025 it jumped above 40%, then fell back to around 17%. Indeed, these markets react quickly, but they correct just as quickly. Therefore, it is necessary to keep a cool head: nothing has been publicly confirmed about the landing plan.

The bottom line remains: why a token? On the one hand, MetaMask would have more than 30 million users. An airdrop focused on historical activity would create a significant community movement.
In terms of the roadmap, MetaMask has already taken a decisive step with a single account multi-network. Soon, the arrival of the Bitcoin network will further expand the active user base. Wallet infrastructure is also evolving towards architecture “Wallet as Protocol” and advanced signature templates. These moves point to a future where the wallet becomes a layer of identity, security and payment.
