Metamask supports the Solana Blockchain Native and now enables users to buy SOL directly in the wallet using the payment infrastructure of Transak.
Direct Sol -purchases go live in Metamask wallet via Transak
The integration with Transak, with effect from July 22, follows the first native support of Metamask for a blockchain that works outside the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). Users can buy Solana (SOL) using local Fiat currency via credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay and Bank transfers facilitated by Transak.
“This is an important milestone for Metamask,” noted Lorenzo Santos, senior product manager at Metamask. He noted that Solana’s fame in Web3 and stated that the collaboration with Transak Onboarding simplifies by making local currency purchases possible.
Metamask, a web3 wallet that is widely used for access to Ethereum-based applications, previously expanded the driveway support to countless EVM chains. The announcement, shared with Bitcoin.com News, explains that Transak has been an important infrastructure provider for Metamask since 2021.
The addition of Solana is intended to reduce the need for multiple portfolios on different block chains. Solana reported 3.84 million monthly active addresses in the first quarter of 2025. The Crypto company Transak offers payment infrastructure to more than 450 platforms worldwide.
Transak said that his involvement is tackled unacceptable obstacles by offering localized payment methods and layered identity verification processes. The announcement added that the collaboration between Metamask, Solana and Transak builds on their existing relationship. Metamask also confirmed plans to then add Bitcoin network support, where Transak continues as its Fiat on-disaster provider.
“This is what web3 was always meant-open, accessible and chain agent,” said Sami Start, CEO of Transak.
