MetaMask is continuing its expansion beyond the Ethereum ecosystem, announcing Thursday that it has added native support for the Tron blockchain after previous moves to add in chains like Bitcoin and Solana.


The wallet has integrated native Tron support across its mobile and browser platforms, allowing users to manage their Tron-based digital assets and interact with apps directly within the wallet interface. (Disclosure: MetaMask is a product of Consensys, one of 22 investors in an editorially independent Decrypt.)


MetaMask’s support enables swaps between the Tron, Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), Solana, and Bitcoin networks, allowing users to send USDT, stake TRX, and execute transactions across multiple supported chains.





"Native Tron integration represents another milestone in our multi-chain expansion strategy, joining Solana and Bitcoin as non-EVM networks now accessible through a unified interface." said MetaMask Staff Product Manager Rizvi Haider, in a statement. “This integration meets users where they are as we continue to move closer to delivering a truly universal gateway to the decentralized economy."


Tron has about 3 million daily active wallets, according to on-chain data collected by Dune, with about $4.7 billion worth of assets locked up within decentralized finance protocols. The chain is popular with stablecoin users, with over $81 billion worth of Tether’s USDT issued on the network—not far behind leader Ethereum with more than $85 billion.


MetaMask has long been associated with the Ethereum network, with parent company Consensys being a major developer of software for the ecosystem.


However, the wallet has increasingly made efforts to expand beyond Ethereum over the last year, due to growing multi-chain use by traders and investors. Bitcoin support arrived in December after being first teased near the start of 2025.


“Obviously, MetaMask is the O.G. Ethereum wallet, and it was built for Ethereum,” MetaMask Multichain Product Lead Christian Montoya told Decrypt in January 2025. “But we've been exploring for quite a while how we can expand beyond that.”
