MetaMask has announced a groundbreaking roadmap aimed at simplifying user interactions, enhancing transaction reliability, and introducing innovative features that redefine self-custody.
MetaMask’s Vision for a Seamless Web3 Future
The newly detailed roadmap focuses on three main pillars: improving user experience, enabling seamless multichain connectivity, and strengthening wallet security. According to the blog post, MetaMask aims to make wallets more “intuitive, connected, powerful, and safe.”
A major shift includes the transition from externally owned accounts (EOAs) to programmable accounts, made possible by EIP-7702. This feature, part of Ethereum’s upcoming Pectra hard fork, will empower EOAs to function similarly to smart accounts, bringing enhanced efficiency and security.
MetaMask is also introducing ERC-5792 batched transactions, enabling one-click “Approve & Swap” actions to optimize gas costs and streamline transactions. Additionally, beginning in March, the wallet will roll out gas-included swaps across all transactions, allowing users to pay gas fees using any token they hold.
“Longer term, we believe we can eliminate gas as a user-facing concern in nearly all interactions,” the roadmap states, hinting at a frictionless Web3 experience in the future.
Expanding Multichain Support
MetaMask’s roadmap also includes a robust multichain expansion. Solana (SOL) integration is set for May, followed by Bitcoin (BTC) support in Q3 2025. This will enable users to interact with these ecosystems without requiring separate wallets or wrapped tokens.
In June, MetaMask will launch a Multichain API, allowing decentralized applications (dApps) to seamlessly connect to Ethereum, Linea, Solana, and Bitcoin. A redesigned home screen debuting next month will display assets across multiple networks, improving portfolio management.
Enhanced Security and Convenience
MetaMask is rolling out Profile Sync for browser extensions in April and mobile in May, ensuring consistent settings across devices. Additionally, users will soon be able to manage multiple wallets from a single MetaMask instance with support for multiple Secret Recovery Phrases (SRPs).
The upcoming MetaMask Card will enable direct crypto spending, removing the need for traditional offramps. Furthermore, the newly introduced MetaMask Delegation Framework will grant users flexible and secure account permissions, allowing off-chain ERC-7710 authorizations for improved security.
This roadmap arrives on the heels of MetaMask’s recent regulatory victory, as the SEC dropped its lawsuit against the company. CEO Joe Lubin expressed optimism, stating, “Now we can get 100% back to building. 2025 is going to be the best year yet for Ethereum and ConsenSys.”
