MetaMask Wallet Features

A comprehensive suite of tools for managing your digital assets, swapping tokens, and exploring the Web3 ecosystem — all from one wallet.

Core Features

The essential tools built into MetaMask for managing crypto assets, interacting with dApps, and navigating Web3.

Token Swaps & DEX Aggregation

Swap tokens directly within MetaMask using a built-in DEX aggregator that sources the best rates from Uniswap, SushiSwap, and other decentralized exchanges. Bridge assets between Ethereum, Polygon, BSC, Avalanche, and more — all without leaving your wallet.

MetaMask Snaps — Multichain Extensions

Extend MetaMask beyond Ethereum with community-built, audited extensions called Snaps. Connect to Bitcoin, Solana, Cosmos, and other non-EVM networks. Snaps can also provide transaction insights, security alerts, and new account types — a capability unique to MetaMask among wallets like Phantom Wallet and Trust Wallet.

Portfolio Dashboard

Track all your crypto assets, token balances, NFT collections, and transaction history in a unified portfolio view. Monitor holdings across multiple wallets and chains simultaneously — a feature that surpasses the portfolio capabilities of Coinbase Wallet and Rabby Wallet.

Smart Transactions (MEV Protection)

Submit transactions to a private mempool to reduce failed transactions, lower gas fees, and protect against front-running MEV attacks. Smart Transactions optimize gas usage and improve swap success rates — a feature unavailable in Phantom Wallet or Rainbow Wallet.

Hardware Wallet Integration

Connect Ledger, Trezor, and other hardware wallets for cold storage security while retaining access to MetaMask's full DeFi interface. Sign transactions on your hardware device and manage your entire portfolio — an advantage over Trust Wallet, which lacks hardware wallet support.

NFT Management (ERC-721 & ERC-1155)

View, send, and manage your NFT collections directly within MetaMask. Full support for ERC-721 unique tokens and ERC-1155 multi-token standards. Auto-detect NFTs across Ethereum and connected EVM chains, with detailed metadata and image previews in your portfolio.

Advanced Features

Power-user tools for developers and experienced crypto users who need granular control over their wallet experience.

Custom Networks & RPCs

Add any EVM-compatible blockchain by entering its RPC endpoint. Connect to Ethereum testnets, Layer 2 networks like Arbitrum and Optimism, or private chains. MetaMask's network flexibility exceeds that of Coinbase Wallet and Rainbow Wallet.

Transaction Insights

Get human-readable previews of smart contract interactions before signing. Transaction insights decode contract calls, display token approvals, and warn about potentially malicious transactions — helping you avoid scams and phishing attacks.

Multi-Account Management

Create and manage multiple accounts within a single MetaMask wallet. Organize accounts by purpose — trading, NFTs, DeFi — and switch between them instantly. Import accounts from private keys or hardware wallets for a unified management experience.

Gas Fee Customization

Take full control over gas fees with MetaMask's advanced gas controls. Set custom gas limits, priority fees, and max fees per gas. Choose between slow, average, and fast transaction speeds — or enter exact values for precise cost management.
