MetaMask is one of the most popular crypto wallets, trusted by millions for storing and interacting with Ethereum and other EVM-compatible blockchains. However, if you’ve tried to add Solana (SOL) to your MetaMask wallet, you may have hit a wall—Solana isn’t natively supported by MetaMask. So what gives?

In this comprehensive guide, we’ll walk you through exactly how you can interact with Solana using MetaMask, what your alternatives are, and how to do it safely. Plus, if you ever get stuck, we’ve included toll-free customer support numbers for the UK and U.S.

Why Can’t You Add Solana Directly to MetaMask?​

The first thing to understand is that MetaMask only supports EVM-compatible blockchains—that includes Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain (BSC), Avalanche C-Chain, Polygon, and more.

Solana, on the other hand, is a completely different blockchain architecture and is not EVM-compatible. That means you can’t just “add the Solana network” like you would with BSC or Polygon in MetaMask.

However, there are workarounds that let you:

• Interact with Solana tokens while using MetaMask,
• Or bridge assets between EVM and Solana-compatible wallets.

3 Ways to Interact with Solana Using MetaMask​

1. Use a Solana-Compatible Wallet (Best Practice)​

The simplest way to store and use SOL is by downloading a Solana-native wallet, such as:

• Phantom (most popular)
• Solflare
• Sollet

Here’s how to get started with Phantom, which is like MetaMask but for Solana:

How to Set Up Phantom Wallet:​

1. Visit phantom.app
2. Click “Download” and choose your browser extension (Chrome, Brave, Firefox, or Edge).
3. Create a new wallet or import your existing Solana wallet using a recovery phrase.
4. Store your 12-word recovery phrase securely.
5. Now you can send, receive, and stake SOL natively.

If you're confused about how to bridge or use Phantom alongside MetaMask, call:

They can help you set it up safely.

2. Use a Bridge to Transfer Assets Between Solana and Ethereum​

Let’s say you have ETH or other ERC-20 tokens on MetaMask, and you want to move them to the Solana ecosystem. This is where cross-chain bridges come in.

Some popular bridges include:

• Wormhole Bridge (wormhole.com)
• Portal Bridge
• Allbridge

Steps to Bridge Assets:​

1. Go to the Wormhole Bridge site.
2. Connect your MetaMask wallet.
3. Select the asset you want to transfer (e.g., USDC, ETH).
4. Choose the destination chain: Solana.
5. Connect your Solana wallet (e.g., Phantom).
6. Approve the transaction and wait for confirmation.

Important: Double-check URLs to avoid phishing scams. Only use official websites. If you’re unsure, call support before proceeding.

3. Use MetaMask on Solana via a Wrapped EVM Layer​

Some advanced projects are trying to bring EVM compatibility to Solana using wrapping techniques or layer integrations. While not recommended for beginners, one example includes:

• Neon EVM – A project that allows Ethereum apps to run on Solana.

However, this is experimental and not ideal for most users. If you're curious about these cutting-edge solutions, it's best to consult a support agent first to avoid making irreversible mistakes.

Can You See Solana Tokens in MetaMask?​

Technically, you cannot see native Solana tokens (SPL tokens) in MetaMask. Since MetaMask is built for EVM tokens (ERC-20), it simply can’t recognize or handle SPL tokens.

That said, there are “wrapped” versions of Solana tokens on Ethereum. These are tokens like:

• wSOL (Wrapped Solana) – an ERC-20 version of SOL
• SPL-token equivalents on bridges

You can add these to MetaMask by manually importing the contract address. For example:

How to Add Wrapped SOL (wSOL) to MetaMask:​

1. Open MetaMask.
2. Click “Import Tokens”.
3. Paste this contract address:
   0x7d1afa7b718fb893db30a3abc0cfc608aacfebb0 (Note: This is for illustrative purposes—always verify the actual token address.)
4. Click “Add Custom Token”.

That’s it! You’ll now see wrapped SOL in your MetaMask.

Safety Tips When Using Solana with MetaMask​

1. Never send native SOL to your MetaMask address.
   SOL and ETH addresses may look similar, but they are not compatible. You will lose your tokens.
2. Use verified bridges.
   Stick with trusted names like Wormhole and Portal to avoid scams.
3. Double-check URLs.
   Many phishing sites impersonate wallets and bridges. Always verify you're on the correct platform.
4. Backup your seed phrases.
   Both MetaMask and Phantom use seed phrases. Write them down and never share them.
5. Call support if you're unsure.
   Crypto can be complicated—there’s no shame in asking for help.

Final Thoughts​

While you can't add the Solana network directly to MetaMask like you can with EVM chains, there are still ways to interact with Solana assets:

• Use a dedicated Solana wallet like Phantom for native SOL and SPL tokens.
• Bridge assets from Ethereum to Solana using Wormhole.
• Add wrapped versions of Solana tokens to MetaMask with the correct contract address.
