Introducing Multichain Accounts

FAQs about Multichain Accounts

• What’s the difference between a wallet, account, and address now?

    • Wallet: A container for your accounts and assets. You can have multiple wallets in MetaMask app by importing an SRP or adding a hardware wallet. 

  • Account: A holder that groups addresses from different chains. 

  • Address: The public identifier you use to send and receive tokens on a specific network.

• Where did my accounts go?

  Your addresses are now grouped into Multichain Accounts within MetaMask. You still have access to all your EVM and Solana addresses. They’re organized together for easier crosschain management.

• How are my accounts grouped?

  Each Multichain account pairs one EVM address with one Solana address. When an EVM address and a Solana address are paired into a Multichain account, the Multichain account retains the name of the previous EVM account that contained just the EVM address.

  • If you have more EVM addresses than Solana, new Solana addresses are created to match.

  • If you have more Solana addresses than EVM, new EVM addresses are created to pair with the extra Solana addresses.

• Where can I find my Solana accounts?


  Solana addresses are shown alongside EVM addresses within each Multichain account in your MetaMask wallet. Just select a Multichain account to view all paired addresses.

• Why do I have fewer accounts now?


  Accounts are now grouped across multiple networks, which may combine previously separate addresses. You can still see every address you owned, inside your Multichain Accounts.

• Why did MetaMask switch to Multichain Accounts?

  MetaMask initially started as an Ethereum wallet, but now supports many networks, like Solana and Sei, with more to come. Multichain Accounts make managing assets across networks seamless and secure. One home, many chains.

• What networks can I use with MetaMask Multichain Accounts?


  MetaMask currently supports EVM networks, like Ethereum, Linea, Arbitrum, Base, as well as Solana. Support for Bitcoin, Tron, and Monad is coming. 

• How does this affect my hardware wallet accounts?

  Solana isn’t supported on hardware wallets yet. Your hardware accounts will remain EVM-only, and will not be grouped together. 

• How is my account balance aggregated now?

  Your balances are now aggregated across all networks.

• How do I switch between EVM and non-EVM networks?

  You don’t have to worry about switching networks. Each flow in MetaMask will ask you to select the relevant network.
