MetaMask, the popular crypto wallet used by over 100 million people, has added support for the Sei Layer 1 blockchain. This integration allows users to directly access Sei's ecosystem of applications, tokens, and NFTs from their wallet. Users can now easily swap, bridge, and buy Sei tokens using built-in payment options like credit cards and Apple Pay.
A key feature of this update is the new dedicated Sei ecosystem page within MetaMask Portfolio. This page is designed to simplify the user experience by highlighting dapps and network activity, removing the need for manual setup or third-party tools.
According to Gal Eldar, a global product lead at MetaMask, the move is a response to the "multi-chain reality" of Web3. The goal is to make it easier for users to explore new blockchains without the hassle of managing multiple wallets or complex bridges.
Sei, which launched its mainnet in 2023, has seen significant growth, particularly since the launch of its Ethereum virtual machine (EVM)-compatible chain, Sei V2. The network currently reports over 4.2 million daily transactions and more than $600 million in total value locked.
This integration is part of MetaMask's broader strategy to support a wider range of blockchains beyond Ethereum, including both EVM-compatible and non-EVM chains like Solana and Arbitrum. The SEI token currently has a market capitalization of about $1.7 billion. While MetaMask's parent company, Consensys, has considered launching a native token for the wallet, there is no official announcement yet.
