MetaMask may already be a go-to name for millions of crypto users, but the popular digital wallet could potentially reach a much wider audience as it begins to expand beyond Ethereum—starting with Bitcoin.
Whether on networks like Bitcoin or Solana, users are increasingly exploring decentralized finance, or DeFi, across a broader range of ecosystems.
Christian Montoya, Consensys’ product lead for MetaMask Multichain, acknowledged the trend in an interview with Decrypt—and said MetaMask has been building in this direction for some time. (Disclosure: Consensys is one of 22 investors in an editorially independent Decrypt).
“Obviously, MetaMask is the O.G. Ethereum wallet, and it was built for Ethereum,” he said. “But we've been exploring for quite a while how we can expand beyond that.”
