"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.
