Metamask now allows users to purchase SOL directly within its wallet using Transak’s payment infrastructure.
Metamask Wallet Enables Direct SOL Purchases Through Transak Integration
As of July 22, Metamask users can seamlessly buy Solana (SOL) using their local fiat currency through various payment methods such as credit/debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and bank transfers thanks to the integration with Transak. This marks a significant milestone for Metamask, especially as it extends its support to a blockchain beyond the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM).
Lorenzo Santos, senior product manager at Metamask, emphasized the importance of this partnership, noting Solana’s prominent position in the Web3 space. The collaboration with Transak not only simplifies the onboarding process for users but also streamlines the purchasing of SOL directly within the Metamask wallet.
Metamask, a popular Web3 wallet primarily used for Ethereum applications, has been expanding its on-ramp support to various EVM chains. Transak, a key infrastructure provider for Metamask since 2021, plays a crucial role in enabling these native blockchain integrations.
With Solana boasting 3.84 million monthly active addresses in the first quarter of 2025, the addition of SOL purchasing within Metamask aims to consolidate users’ need for multiple wallets across different blockchains. Transak, a leading crypto payment infrastructure provider serving over 450 platforms globally, offers localized payment methods and tiered identity verification processes to address onboarding challenges.
According to Transak, the partnership between Metamask, Solana, and themselves builds on their existing relationship, paving the way for a more seamless user experience within the Metamask ecosystem. Additionally, Metamask has confirmed plans to add support for the Bitcoin network next, with Transak continuing as its trusted fiat on-ramp provider.
“Web3 was always meant to be open, accessible, and chain-agnostic,” stated Sami Start, CEO of Transak, highlighting the collaborative efforts to enhance the accessibility and usability of blockchain technologies.
