MetaMask’s Latest Roadmap to End Gas Fess with BTC and SOL dApps Support

MetaMask, the widely used self-custodial crypto wallet, has announced a major 2025 roadmap aiming to enhance user experience, eliminate gas fees, and expand blockchain support. The roadmap introduces native Bitcoin and Solana integration alongside innovations to simplify Web3 interactions.

MetaMask plans to add native Solana support in May 2025, marking its first non-Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) integration. This expansion allows users to store, trade, and interact with Solana’s decentralized applications (dApps) directly within MetaMask.

Additionally, Bitcoin support is scheduled for Q3 2025. Users will be able to manage their Bitcoin holdings without relying on wrapped tokens or separate wallets, a step toward making MetaMask a comprehensive multichain wallet.

“MetaMask is evolving to support mainstream adoption by offering services that are better than a bank,” Dan Finlay, MetaMask co-founder, stated in the announcement.

Eliminating Gas Fees Across Transactions

A major update in the roadmap focuses on reducing and eventually eliminating gas fees for users. MetaMask already allows gas-included swaps, meaning users can pay transaction fees in the token they are exchanging instead of Ethereum (ETH).

By March 2025, this feature will extend to all transactions, enabling users to pay gas fees using any token they hold. Over the long term, MetaMask aims to remove gas fees as a visible expense altogether.

Gas fees have long been a major barrier to Web3 adoption. According to MetaMask, “25% of transactions on Ethereum mainnet are interrupted because users don’t have ETH for gas.” The new feature aims to simplify interactions by making gas payments more flexible and accessible.

MetaMask Card to Enable Crypto Payments

MetaMask is also launching the MetaMask Card in partnership with Mastercard. This card will allow users to spend their crypto holdings in real-world transactions at millions of merchants accepting Mastercard payments.

The virtual card is already available in select regions, while a physical metal card is set to roll out in April 2025. The initiative aims to bridge the gap between digital and traditional finance, making it easier for users to utilize their crypto assets in everyday life.

A Step Toward a More User-Friendly Web3

MetaMask’s roadmap signals a shift toward making Web3 interactions more seamless and intuitive. With Bitcoin and Solana integration, gas fee abstraction, and real-world crypto payments, the wallet is positioning itself as a central hub for self-custody and financial management.

These updates reinforce MetaMask’s role as a leader in the Web3 space, continually improving the user experience for both new and advanced crypto users.

This MetaMask rebranding comes at a time when its parent company, ConsenSys, was recently left off the hook for its 2024 lawsuit by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Joseph Lubin, Consensys founder and Ethereum co-founder, took to his X to spread the good news.
