MetaMask officially announces native support for Bitcoin, accelerating the multichain wallet strategy.
MetaMask officially announces the addition of native Bitcoin support in its wallet, marking an important step in its multi-chain strategy. Users can now directly purchase Bitcoin with fiat within MetaMask, conduct on-chain transfers, and exchange BTC for EVM native assets or Solana tokens without the need for third-party bridge tools, significantly enhancing the user experience and security.
On the technical level, MetaMask has supported native SegWit addresses for Bitcoin and has incorporated Taproot support into its future development plans. This means that the Wallet will further enhance its transaction efficiency, fee optimization, and privacy capabilities. As the Bitcoin mainnet features continue to upgrade, MetaMask is gradually improving its infrastructure capabilities within the BTC ecosystem.
This update is not only an expansion of features but is also closely tied to the incentive mechanism. Users performing Bitcoin exchange operations within MetaMask can earn MetaMask reward points, which will be linked to a MASK-style incentive program in the future. According to reports, this program may involve LINEA Tokens worth over 30 million USD to encourage user participation in a multi-chain ecosystem.
