MetaMask Expands Cross-Chain Power via Rango Integration

• MetaMask expands cross-chain swaps using Rango’s multi-network routing infrastructure.
• Tron support is coming, strengthening MetaMask’s multichain interoperability.

MetaMask’s cross-chain expansion plans are now becoming clearer after the wallet began using Rango’s infrastructure to handle swap routing across various networks. This integration streamlines asset transfers without having to switch applications.

What started with EVM and Solana has now reached Bitcoin, giving the wallet a broader cross-chain reach. And on the side, the team is already working on bringing Tron into the mix, an update many users have been hoping to see.

MetaMask Takes Cross-Chain Flexibility Further

Rango is known as a cross-chain connector that integrates the best routes from various DEXs and asset bridges. With connectivity spanning dozens of blockchains, users can experience a smoother token swap process, including when moving from an EVM-based ecosystem to a network with a different architecture. The addition of a route to Bitcoin makes moving assets feel a lot easier, even though the process usually takes quite a bit of time.

The shift also fits MetaMask’s effort to step beyond its old role as an Ethereum-only wallet. It now works across a wider range of networks, cutting out a lot of the hassle that used to come with moving tokens around. Still, the transition can feel a bit bumpy for people who aren’t used to cross-chain tools.

Not only that, Rango’s presence helps simplify the route selection process, because its system automatically sorts the most efficient swap routes.

On the other hand, the spotlight on Tron’s planned entry makes this dynamic look even more interesting. The Tron ecosystem is known for its broad user base and high on-chain traffic, so once this feature goes live, moving assets to that network could feel much more convenient.

Overall, these developments position MetaMask as a more flexible Web3 gateway than in years past. Users are now no longer relying on a single network, but rather can navigate multiple ecosystems while remaining within a single application. This pace of development also reflects the industry’s growing need for interoperability.

On December 5, we highlighted how MetaMask added full Polymarket access for on-chain predictions, allowing users to join prediction markets and earn MetaMask Rewards directly through the mobile app.

Additionally, on November 25, we reported that MetaMask had opened the door to global stock perpetual trading, allowing users to conduct leveraged on-chain equity transactions from mobile devices.

Back in late August, MetaMask rolled out a login option using Google or Apple ID, letting people in without storing a seed phrase. The setup still keeps users in full control, relying on local encryption and Web3Auth to secure everything.
