Transak Provides Fiat Gateway for SOL on Metamask's Solana Support

Metamask supports the Solana blockchain natively and now allows users to purchase $SOL directly within its wallet using Transak’s payment infrastructure.

Direct $SOL Purchases Go Live in Metamask Wallet Through Transak

The integration with Transak, effective July 22, follows Metamask‘s first native support for a blockchain operating outside the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). Users can buy solana ( $SOL) using local fiat currency through credit/debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and bank transfers facilitated by Transak.

“This is a significant milestone for Metamask,” Lorenzo Santos, senior product manager at Metamask, remarked. He noted Solana’s prominence in Web3 and stated the partnership with Transak simplifies onboarding by enabling local currency purchases.

Metamask, a Web3 wallet widely used for accessing Ethereum-based applications, previously expanded its on-ramp support to numerous EVM chains. The announcement, shared with Bitcoin.com News, explains that Transak has been a key infrastructure provider for Metamask since 2021.

The Solana addition aims to reduce the need for multiple wallets across different blockchains. Solana reported 3.84 million monthly active addresses in the first quarter of 2025. The crypto firm Transak provides payment infrastructure to over 450 platforms globally.

Transak said its involvement addresses onboarding hurdles by offering localized payment methods and tiered identity verification processes. The announcement further added that the collaboration between Metamask, Solana, and Transak builds on their existing relationship. Metamask also confirmed plans to add Bitcoin network support next, with Transak continuing as its fiat on-ramp provider.

“This is what Web3 was always meant to be – open, accessible, and chain-agnostic,” said Sami Start, CEO of Transak.
