MetaMask Update Sparks Token Rumors and Unites Blockchains

MetaMask has rolled out a major update that redefines how users interact with multiple blockchain networks.

The popular crypto wallet, long known for its Ethereum roots, has introduced multichain accounts – a move that consolidates users’ addresses across Ethereum, EVM layer-2s, Solana, and eventually Bitcoin.

Instead of juggling separate accounts for each network, users will now manage everything from a single profile. The upgrade automatically pairs existing Ethereum and Solana addresses, while new ones will be created where needed. MetaMask says this change will make cross-chain activity “simpler and seamless,” reducing constant network switching and confusion.

The update, which leverages the BIP-44 derivation standard, is already live in MetaMask Mobile v7.57 and Extension v13.5. No manual migration is required – older addresses remain fully accessible. However, hardware wallet users will need to wait, as Solana support isn’t yet integrated.

Meanwhile, rumors around MetaMask’s long-anticipated MASK token resurfaced after a mysterious website appeared online, sparking excitement over a potential airdrop or launch. Though the site now redirects to MetaMask’s homepage, speculation continues to swirl following comments from Consensys CEO Joe Lubin, who recently hinted that the token could arrive “sooner than expected.”

The combination of a unified multichain experience and the growing buzz around MASK suggests MetaMask is positioning itself for a more expansive role at the center of Web3’s next phase.
