"Let’s be honest. Managing wallets across MetaMask and Solana used to be a bit of an ordeal. But no more," the blog post said. "With the latest version of MetaMask Extension, you can use Solana natively. Right alongside your Ethereum accounts, all in one interface."

The integration is currently only on desktop, but is slated to go live on the MetaMask mobile app in the coming weeks, the post said.

MetaMask is the Ethereum network's most-used browser wallet, with over 100 million annual users.

While the wallet supported other networks already, Solana is the first non-EVM network (meaning the first network that doesn't use Ethereum's computation engine) to be integrated. The blog post stated that other non-EVM networks would soon follow.

Pudgy Penguins: A New Blueprint for Tokenized Culture

Pudgy Title Image

Pudgy Penguins is building a multi-vertical consumer IP platform — combining phygital products, games, NFTs and PENGU to monetize culture at scale.

What to know:

Pudgy Penguins is emerging as one of the strongest NFT-native brands of this cycle, shifting from speculative “digital luxury goods” into a multi-vertical consumer IP platform. Its strategy is to acquire users through mainstream channels first; toys, retail partnerships and viral media, then onboard them into Web3 through games, NFTs and the PENGU token.

The ecosystem now spans phygital products (> $13M retail sales and >1M units sold), games and experiences (Pudgy Party surpassed 500k downloads in two weeks), and a widely distributed token (airdropped to 6M+ wallets). While the market is currently pricing Pudgy at a premium relative to traditional IP peers, sustained success depends on execution across retail expansion, gaming adoption and deeper token utility.
