Christian Montoya, the product lead at MetaMask Snaps, commented on the integration and said that onboarding MetaMask users to Solana DApps is a huge step toward a \u201cmore seamless user experience.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Consensys head of strategy Simon Morris shared some of the details about the much anticipated <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MetaMask?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@MetaMask<\/a> Snaps, which will act as an app store within the MetaMask wallet, allowing devs to expand its functionality. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/z4hzKtMuXR\">https:\/\/t.co\/z4hzKtMuXR<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Cointelegraph (@Cointelegraph) <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Cointelegraph\/status\/1699308459907576000?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 6, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The much-anticipated MetaMask Snaps is designed to allow users to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/news\/crypto-wallet-dapp-store-consensys-preps-cross-chain-metamask-snaps\">interact with a variety of different blockchain networks<\/a>.

The announcement highlighted that it lets existing MetaMask users integrate their wallets across Ethereum and other Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) chains with the Solana blockchain.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Since Solana has a different infrastructure, access to the ecosystem requires Solana-specific wallets like Solflare. However, with the new feature, users will be able to manage their interactions with Solana through MetaMask. <\/p>\n<p>To connect with Solana, MetaMask users will need to either visit Solflare\u2019s website or connect their wallet to any Solana application. After an installation process, users will be able to bridge their EVM assets into Solana. <\/p>\n<p><em><strong><em><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/mint.cointelegraph.com\/?url=https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/news\/metamask-snaps-wallets-interact-with-solana-dapps-through-solflare&amp;utm_source=cointelegraph_com&amp;utm_medium=appendix&amp;utm_campaign=articles\">Collect this article as an NFT<\/a><\/em><\/strong><em> to preserve this moment in history and show your support for independent journalism in the crypto space.<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Magazine:\u00a0\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/magazine\/nft-collapse-and-monster-egos-feature-in-new-murakami-exhibition\/\">NFT collapse and monster egos feature in new Murakami exhibition<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Solana wallet provider Solflare has integrated MetaMask Snaps to let MetaMask users manage their Solana\u00a0portfolio directly from the popular crypto wallet.\u00a0 According to an announcement sent to Cointelegraph, the Solana (SOL) wallet provider is \u201ceasing the barrier of entry and usage\u201d to the Solana blockchain with the new integration.
