MetaMask Unveils 2025 Roadmap: Bitcoin, Solana Integration, Gas Fee Abolition, and Crypto Payments

MetaMask, a popular self-custodial crypto wallet, has unveiled an ambitious 2025 roadmap aimed at enhancing user experience, eliminating gas fees, and expanding blockchain support. The roadmap includes native Bitcoin and Solana integration, along with innovations to simplify Web3 interactions.

In May 2025, MetaMask plans to add native Solana support, marking its first non-Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) integration. This expansion will enable users to store, trade, and interact with Solana's decentralized applications (dApps) directly within MetaMask.

Bitcoin support is scheduled for Q3 2025. Users will be able to manage their Bitcoin holdings without relying on wrapped tokens or separate wallets, making MetaMask a comprehensive multichain wallet.

A major update in the roadmap focuses on reducing and eventually eliminating gas fees for users. MetaMask already allows gas-included swaps, and by March 2025, this feature will extend to all transactions, enabling users to pay gas fees using any token they hold. Over the long term, MetaMask aims to remove gas fees as a visible expense altogether.

MetaMask is also launching the MetaMask Card in partnership with Mastercard. This card will allow users to spend their crypto holdings in real-world transactions at millions of merchants accepting Mastercard payments. The virtual card is already available in select regions, while a physical metal card is set to roll out in April 2025.

MetaMask's roadmap signals a shift toward making Web3 interactions more seamless and intuitive. With Bitcoin and Solana integration, gas fee abstraction, and real-world crypto payments, the wallet is positioning itself as a central hub for self-custody and financial management. These updates reinforce MetaMask's role as a leader in the Web3 space, continually improving the user experience for both new and advanced crypto users.
