MetaMask, the well-known crypto wallet used by over 100 million people, has now added support for Sei (SEI), a Layer 1 blockchain, taking the total number of supported blockchains on MetaMask to over ten.
With this update, users can now access Sei-based apps, tokens, NFTs, and other assets straight from MetaMask, no extra setup or tools needed. They can also buy, swap, or bridge SEI tokens using built-in payment options like credit cards or Apple Pay.
MetaMask has also created a dedicated page for the Sei ecosystem inside its Portfolio section, where users can check out dApps and keep track of what’s going on in the network. The aim is to make it simpler and safer for people to explore new blockchains, no complicated setups or confusing third-party tools needed.
“Expanding MetaMask to support emerging networks like Sei is about solving real problems for users,” said Gal Eldar, global product lead at MetaMask. “Web3 is moving toward a multi-chain reality, and users shouldn’t have to wrestle with different wallets or complex bridges to participate.”
Sei, which launched its mainnet in 2023, has seen rapid growth, particularly following the release of Sei V2, an Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-compatible chain. The blockchain now processes over 4.2 million transactions daily, has more than 11 million monthly active users, and holds over $600 million in total value locked (TVL).
SEI is currently the 56th biggest cryptocurrency, trading at around $0.2889, up about 3% in the last 24 hours, with a market cap close to $1.67 billion, as per CoinMarketCap.
Over the years, MetaMask has grown beyond just Ethereum. It now supports a mix of EVM and non-EVM blockchains as it works towards becoming a single, go-to wallet for all onchain activity. Some of the major blockchains it supports include Arbitrum, Base, Solana, BNB Chain, Linea, and others.
Meanwhile, MetaMask co-founder Dan Finlay recently revealed that the team is still considering the launch of a native token. Finlay stated that if a token is ever launched, it would be promoted directly within the MetaMask wallet, and users would be able to find a link inside the wallet itself. Parent company Consensys has been exploring the idea of issuing tokens across its product suite as part of a broader effort toward progressive decentralization.
